State the reasons for the growing popularity of the National Socialists in Germany.

The defeat in the First World War and the signing of the Versailles Peace Treaty led to a crisis in the state. The German government has lost the confidence of the people. The humiliating peace destroyed the military potential, destroyed the authority of the state as a world power. Incomes of the population fell sharply, purchasing power declined, and jobs were cut. At this difficult time for Germany, the National Socialist Party enters the political field. Taking advantage of the crisis in the country, the National Socialists seized power in the state.
