How did the Great Depression help Nazism become a mass movement?
✓
Answer
The Nazis could not get popularity till the early 1930s. It was during the Great Depression that Nazism became a mass movement.
After 1929, banks collapsed and businesses shutdown, workers lost their jobs and the middle classes were threatened with destitution. In such a situation, Nazi propaganda stirred hopes of a better future.
In 1928, the Nazi got no more than 2-6 percent votes in the Reichstag the German Parliament. By 1932, it had become the largest party with 37 percent votes.
