E)Hindenburg being coaxed into appointing Hitler chancellor in the hope that it would catalyze a stronger coalition in parliament

The correct answer is letter D

Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party, was appointed chancellor of Germany on a day like this, in 1933. He was experiencing a phase of meteoric rise, driven by the frustration of the people with the poor economic conditions, by the resentment of defeat in World War I and the severe punishments imposed on the country in the Versailles Treaty. His plan, embraced by a large part of the population, was to make the country unified and powerful, under the command of a single party.

A charismatic speaker, Hitler channeled popular discontent with the Weimar republic in support of the Nazi Party. In an election held in July 1932, the Nazis won 230 government seats; together with communists, the second largest party, occupying more than half of the Reichstag, the German parliament.

Hitler, as chancellor, marked a crucial point for Germany and also for the world. His plan, embraced by a large part of the population, was to make the country unified and powerful, under the command of a single party. Hitler immediately started a rapid expansion of state, Gestapo police and appointed Hermann Goering to command the security forces, composed entirely of Nazis and dedicated to eradicating any opposition to the party.
