Who appointed Hitler as Chancellor?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: President Hindenburg
The governing historical fact is that Paul von Hindenburg, the President of the Weimar Republic, appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933. Hitler’s Nazi Party had become a powerful political force, but the formal appointment to the chancellorship was made by the president under the constitutional system. Therefore option A is correct. Lenin was a leader of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Mussolini was the Fascist leader of Italy, and Wilson was the President of the United States during the First World War. None of these figures appointed Hitler. Remembering Hindenburg’s constitutional role helps distinguish appointment from later Nazi consolidation of power.
