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.

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
