Rise of Nazism

1919–1933 CE

Defeat in the First World War, political violence and economic crisis weakened confidence in the Weimar Republic. The Nazi Party combined extreme nationalism, antisemitism, anti-communism and paramilitary intimidation.

The Great Depression expanded electoral support for radical parties. Hitler became chancellor in January 1933 and rapidly destroyed constitutional opposition.

Winter of the World follows German and international families as personal relationships are transformed by the Nazi seizure of power.
