Question

The Munich Putsch did not succeed, but it was not a failure.’ How far do you agree with this statement? PLZ ANSWER I AM IN A TEST

Answer 1

Answer:

The Munich Putsch did not succeed, but it was not a failure. I moderately agree with this statement because there were both failure and succes. Short term failures were:

• The Nazi party was banned, and Hitler was prevented from speaking in public until 1927.

• Hitler was tried for high treason (betraying his country) and sentenced to five years in prison.

Long term success:

• He was sentenced in April and out of prison by December. During his time in the comfortable Landsberg Prison, he wrote 'Mein Kampf' – a propaganda book setting out Nazi beliefs. Millions of Germans read it, and Hitler's ideas became very well-known.

• The fact that the judge had been so lenient with the sentence and that Hitler had served so little time suggests that some people in authority had sympathy with Hitler and what he had tried to do.

• Hitler realised that he would never come to power by revolution and that he would have use democratic means, so he reorganised the party to enable it to take part in elections.
