Bkmrk.
You don’t even have to go that far back. Chile 1970 and Venezuela 1999 are more recent examples.
But Germans didn't have a straight up-or-down vote on they wanted the guy with the mustache to be their leader before he took over.
If they had, would he really have won?
And being able to vote the boss man out is generally recognized as part of democracy nowadays.
They they didn't that opportunity.
Without having watched the video but from memory of history, He was elected to a seat in the govt thru democracy but appointed, not voted, chancellor, by hindenburg, an old man easily manipulated by others to do so. Wiki sez:
Although Hitler had terminated his Austrian citizenship in 1925, he did not acquire German citizenship for almost seven years. This meant he was stateless, unable to run for public office, and still faced the risk of deportation.[131] On 25 February 1932, the interior minister of Brunswick, Dietrich Klagges, who was a member of the NSDAP, appointed Hitler as administrator for the state’s delegation to the Reichsrat in Berlin, making Hitler a citizen of Brunswick,[132] and thus of Germany.[133]
It could have been so easy to have him deported. Just goes to show what can happen when beauracracy takes fast hold of of govt.
