Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles [SEP] Effects on German political opinion and revisionism
To that end, the German government funded the Centre for the Study of the Causes of the War. This subject, the question of Germany's guilt ("Kriegsschuldfrage" or war guilt question) became a major theme of Adolf Hitler's political career. United States Senator Henrik Shipstead argued that the failure to revise the article became a factor in Hitler's rise to power., a view held by some historians, such as Tony Rea and John Wright, who wrote that "the harshness of the War Guilt Clause and the reparations demands made it easier for Hitler to gain power in Germany." Despite these views, the historical consensus is that the article and the treaty, did not cause the rise of Nazism but that an unconnected rise in extremism and the Great Depression led to the NSDAP gaining greater electoral popularity and then being maneuvered into office.
