Possible question refinement

Although I am happy with my current essay question (The critical factor of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany by 1933 was the turbulent and anarchical nature of German politics at the time’ To what extent is this question accurate?”) I am finding it difficult to compact the extensive amount of information I have already obtained in a very short time frame. This has resulted in a series of possible questions that still address the same topic being formulated. These include:

“Why did Hitler provide a satisfactory alternative to the German electorate?”
-       cult of personality (charismatic leader)
-      "To what extent was Hitler’s charismatic leadership the reason for Hitler's successful rise to power in 1933?"
-       "To what extent was the cult of personality more responsible for Hitler's rise to power from 1919-1933 than political aspects?"

Giving some thought to these questions, I have made the decision to continue to work with my initial essay question as I believe if i delve deeper into research about Hitler's charismatic personality I will be obtaining a whole different field of information altogether.

  1. This sounds like a good way to approach the task, leaving room to be flexible.

  2. Change the last part of the question to:

    To what extent is this accurate?

    You areoffering a statement, not a question.
