Summary
Hitler's rise to power began in 1923 during the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, the uprising was fairly the same as Mussolini's march on Rome. As a result Hitler was thrown in jail, but was later able to capitalize on the depression in Germany when he was set free. He promised economic recovery, and in uncertain times people were quick to support the new leader. Hitler used a group of secret police called the "brownshirts" to harass any opposing political parties, while pushing for the Enabling Act. The Reichstag finally agreed in 1933, and later that year all other political parties had been outlawed, as Hitler was given complete power. To prevent an uprising he used his secret police to kill any internal challenges and create fear among the people.
