Abstract

The purpose of this article is to consider the variables that allow us to assess the end of the Weimar Republic and the growth of the Nazi Party in Germany in the early 1930s. It is expected that, through the systematization of consolidated knowledge on the subject, we are able to consider the  role played by the generalized crisis that reaches Germany in the winter of 1929-1930 as an explanatory factor for the defeat of the liberal republican project and for the emergence of Nazism as a political alternative in that specific context.
