Question

what event most directly led to adolf hitlers rise in political power? world war i russian revolution spanish civil war great depression

Explanation:

The Great Depression caused economic hardship and social unrest in Germany. Hitler and the Nazi Party exploited this situation by promising economic recovery, national pride restoration, and blaming minorities (like Jews) for Germany's problems. This made his ideas more appealing to a desperate population. World War I led to the Treaty of Versailles which had some impact on Germany's post - war situation but the Great Depression was a more immediate and direct economic crisis that Hitler capitalized on. The Russian Revolution was in another country and the Spanish Civil War happened after Hitler had already risen to power.

Answer:

Great Depression
