This episode of A History of Economic Tyranny explores the rise of Adolf Hitler, the fall of the Weimar Republic, and how fascism triumphed over democracy through fear, propaganda, and elite complicity.
We examine how Hitler was not truly elected to power, but rather installed by conservative leaders who believed they could control him, and how that catastrophic miscalculation led to dictatorship, genocide, and world war.
What led ordinary Germans to support an extremist? How did the rich and powerful help make Hitler's rise possible? What lessons must we learn today to resist authoritarianism? This is not just a video about history, it's a warning.
