What got Hitler into power?

To begin with, he tried to take over the government using brute force though that only landed him in jail. Soon after being released from prison he decided to gain power through a political campaign rather than using brute force tactics. Using the demagogic oratory Hitler spoke to large crowds of German people telling them to fight against Jews and communists in Order to create a new empire. Which he believed would rule the world for 1000 years. The Nazi's created a plan in which their leader Hitler could gain power through election by winning northern farmers and white collar votes in small towns. This allowed Hitler to gain a landslide victory over his competitors due to the depression though he refused to form a cabinet because he was unwilling to share his power in a coalition regime. After this the Nazi's joined the communists in 1931. Hitler ran for president in 1932 but did not receive the majority of the votes. He eventually forced the victor Paul Von Hindenburg into a runoff election. After losing the runoff Hitler's movement weakened so Hitler left to join a coalition government as chancellor in 1933.
