How did world war 1 contribute to the rise and of Adolf hitler and the nazi party in Germany

Germany experienced serious economic and social problems in the aftermath of WWI. There was political turmoil than brought an end to the empire and the brith a republic, the Weimar Republic.

There were shortages, scarcity, high unemployment rates and inflation. Two things made the situation worse. One was the giant war reparations that France and Britain imposed on Germany, making them a burden too heavy to carry, so at certain moment, the German government had to stop them. Two, the Great Depression also hit the country.

In this hard situation, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party promised to bring back prosperity and employment through the industrial commitment to rebuild and expand Germany's military might, as well as to revert the humilliation suffered after the war, and make Germany occupy its right place in Europe as a superior nation and race. In the middle of such dispair and hardship, Hitler's message found receptive ears.
