7. Germany was starving at the time. Their money was worthless.
Their economy was in a shambles. They got the blame and the bill for WWI and were rather bitter about that. I have heard Hitler was charasmatic. He was saying the right things at the right time for a lot of the Germans. Hungry people follow those that can produce.
So how the Bush people were able to take over well-fed Amercia amazes me.
One interesting thing about history is that is only takes about 20% of the population to change things one way or the other. Only 18% of the eligible voters voted for Bushco. The Revolutionary War was started by around 17% of the population. So it really takes a small amount of people to do a lot of good or harm.
