Quick Rundown 🌟
- Main Idea: Hitler's rise to total power was a process called Gleichschaltung.
- What's Gleichschaltung? It's like revamping every part of Germany to fit the Nazi vibe. Think of it as a redecoration but for an entire country - but with way scarier implications!
Let's Dive In! 🚀
1️⃣ The Enabling Act: This was the secret sauce behind Hitler’s dictatorship.
- Real World Example: Imagine your parents giving you the remote and saying, "You control what's on TV." Only Hitler's 'TV' was the entire nation of Germany.
2️⃣ Gleichschaltung
- Definition: Nazi-fying EVERYTHING in Germany.
- Priority: Take over the political scene.
Key Sectors Affected by Gleichschaltung 🎭
🌍 Federal States (Länder)
- Background: 17 individual states in Germany, like the USA's 50 states.
- Why This Mattered: Hitler wanted a unified Germany. Can't have mini kingdoms doing their own thing.
- Changes Made
- 31 March 1933: Replaced regional parliaments with Nazi crews.
- 7 April 1933: Introduced Reich Governors as big bosses of states.
- 30 January 1934: Bye-bye regional parliaments; central government is the king!
- Fun Fact: Gauleiters = Nazi leaders controlling local government. If mayors wore Nazi uniforms!
🎉 Political Parties
- Goal: A Germany where Nazis were the only game in town.
- The Timeline of Dominance:
- Communists: Lost power after the Reichstag fire.
- Social Democrats: Faced increasing bullying and were finally banned on 22 June 1933. It's like if a big club in school got disbanded and its members were constantly picked on.
- Other Parties: Threw in the towel by late June.
- Catholic Centre Party: Said adios on 5 July.
- 14 July 1933: The “No More New Parties, Please” law (not its real name!) made Nazi Germany a one-party state.
- Now: The Reichstag (like Congress) just said 'yes' to the Nazi government.
