how did hitler manage to become chancellor of Germany in January 1933?

Long term factors- the defeat of Germany at the hands of the allies in 1918 left the country in ruins and in the subsequent Treaty of Versailles, the allies left no room for mercy. Germany was to be stripped off much of its territory as well has have very tight limits put on the amount of military it could have. On top of this, they had to pay a fee of £85bn in war indemnities. It hurt the country greatly as inflation skyrocketed as the value of the currency plummeted. Germans were finding it increasingly hard to afford even a loaf of bread. Whilst the country did rebuilt itself throughout the mid-20s, it did create a huge anti-allies sentiment which radical politicians would later seize on. medium term factors- the wall street crash of 1929 was catastrophic for Germany. the country lost 40% of its economic output and by January 1930, 6 million people were unemployed. With a failure to combat the problems at hand, the mainstream moderate parties were losing support and politicians promising radical reforms were gaining mass support. among these were Hitler's Nazi Party which by 1932 were the largest party in the German parliament. short term factors- Hitler's role and political necessity- with the charismatic leader gaining mass support nationwide, the president had 3 choices for who to appoint as leader of the government and when his other 2 choices proved worthless, he had no choice but to appoint Hitler as chancellor in January 1933.
