Beer Hall Putsch (nov 8, 1923 – nov 9, 1923)

Description:

Description: The Beer Hall Putsch was basically Hitler’s attempt to take over the Bavaria government. Although the attempt was a failed one and never ended up working due to misunderstandings between Hitler and his followers.
Cause 1: The cause of the Beer Hall Putsch was what Hitler thought would secure his place in power. It somewhat did in the long run because over time he eventually got into power and succeeded.
Cause 2: Hitler also got somewhat inspiration from Benito Mussolini because he did the same thing in Italy, Rome a few years earlier on the liberal Italian government. Hitler thought it would work even though he failed so he obviously didn’t do it as good as Mussolini because he succeeded whereas Hitler failed.
Effect 1: After Hitler’s attempt at taking over the Bavaria government he ended up getting away and hid in his friends place for a while but it didn’t last long until he was found and he then got sentenced into prison for 5 years for high treason.
Effect 2: The fail of the Beer Hall Putsch led to the split of Adolf Hitler and Erich Ludendorff. Ludendorff considered Hitler a coward for sneaking away after the police started to fire. Hitler also decided that the armed revolution was not the way to obtain power in Weimar Germany. So that was the cause of Hitler and Ludendorff to split.
