Martial Law

Martial Law is the imposition and substitution of Military authority in civilian government. Wherein the Military has influence and control over legislature and general functions under the supervision of the President or Chancellor. This protocol is usually imposed and declared during times of war, rebellion or threatening political events. 
On September 21, 1933, Chancellor Otto Hollenfeuer announced to the whole nation that he placed the entire country under Martial Law. This declaration is under the protection and oversight of the formal Proclamation No. 1912. This started the 3-year lethal, severe and authoritarian rule of Otto and marked the turning point of his whole career. Within 6 months of the rule, almost 34% of Otto Hollenfeuer's supporter reconsidered their political stance and the Nationalist Party lost popularity. 
Although the proclamation and the event itself was highly lethal, volatile and harmful, it was reasoned to be the correct action to keep order and discipline amongst the civilian hierarchy. Socialist People's Army or the Volksheer continue growing influence and gaining territorial control. All the while they managed to launch significantly damaging attacks and rebellious actions against the government which then pushed Otto to make the proclamation. Despite all of his logical reasonings, the emotional state of the people made them think he was a villain which led to the antagonization of Otto and his later oust.

Some portions are not historically accurate
=== Prelude ===
As early as 1925, during Otto's 2nd presidential term, anti-peace factions continue growing. Under minimal monitoring of the government, the factions were able to create a new political party and would grow influence. Alongside that political party is an armed-wing called the Volksheer under the influence of the Karpakov Crime Families. This new armed-wing would thrive in multiple regions and states of Germany and continue to grow influence, eventually at an alarming rate. The government then responds by increasing the monitoring rates and deeming it as a threat without announcements. Internal investigations follow which unfold their involvement with the mythical crime organization, thus justifying a volatile reaction. Otto chose to passively interact with the threat and let it strive but with a few conditions and further monitoring. 
=== Main Cause ===
By 1932, Adolf Hitler continued to grow influence and impose reactive actions on behalf of the Volksheer. Some being harmful and threatening, eventually military involvement was imminent to the point not even Berlin feels secured and safe from the threats. However, the sudden rise of security started making the public suspect imminent authoritarianism which was shortly addressed, and covered up from the public. Adolf was then invited to a conference with the Hollenfeuers, which would end up in a presumed death. Unbeknownst to the public, Adolf was alive however he kept that a secret and hid his identity. He continued to lead the armed wing of his political party. He then committed and imposed violent attacks against local governments through terrorism, assassinations or bombings and he tried to justify it through his own pseudocide. Eventually, this moved Otto on critical alert which made him make the Proclamation.
