Ans. Several key events contributed to Hitler's rise to power in Germany. The Treaty of Versailles, which imposed harsh conditions on Germany after World War I, led to widespread resentment and economic instability in the country. The Great Depression further intensified the economic crisis, creating a fertile ground for extremist ideologies like Nazism to gain popularity. Hitler's failed coup attempt in Munich, known as the Beer Hall Putsch, resulted in his imprisonment, during which he wrote his influential book, Mein Kampf. After his release, he used political maneuvering and the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic to secure the support of various interest groups, eventually leading to his appointment as Chancellor in 1933.
