[meercat]

hey ppl, got a bitch of an assessment (20% - Gah!) due in a couple of weeks, wondering if any one could help.

"Assess the role of nationalism in the rise to power of the Nazis"

Anyone got anything they reckon i should put in that? Anyone at all?

well since you have 2 talk about how they rose to power u really need 2 talk about how the nazi's exploited nationalistic ideals to gain public favour. u could then explain how the germans were still pissed off about the treaty of versailles and it made them feel inferior as a nation,hurting their nationalistic pride. Hitler often reiterated that the democratic governement betrayed the german people- hence playing on the nationalistic feelings of the germans and turning the german people, lower and upper class against the weimar republic

u should also discuss hitler's ayran race theory- believing that the "pure" germans were above all others humans- this is nationalism at its extreme, its not just devotioan to your country its the belief that germans have a god given right to rule the world.

how long does the essay q have 2 b?
