Strasser crisis

Okay kiddo, let's talk about the Strasser Crisis.

Back in the 1930s, there were some people in Germany who were upset with how things were going. They didn't like the way the government was being run, especially by a guy named Hitler and his buddies. One of these people was a man named Gregor Strasser. He was a member of a group called the Nazi Party, but he didn't agree with everything Hitler and his close friends were doing.

Gregor Strasser thought the Nazi Party should work more with regular people and try to help them out. But Hitler and his friends didn't really care about that. They were more interested in taking over and making all the decisions themselves. They didn't want anyone else to have a say in how things were run.

So, in 1932, there was a big argument between Gregor Strasser and Hitler and some other guys in the Nazi Party. Strasser wanted more power for himself and his ideas, but Hitler and his friends didn't want to give it to him. This argument became known as the Strasser Crisis.

In the end, Hitler won the argument and Strasser left the Nazi Party. A few years later, the Nazis took over Germany and things got very bad. Hitler and his friends did some terrible things to people they didn't like, including killing millions of Jewish people in concentration camps.

So, the Strasser Crisis was an important moment in the history of Germany and the world. It showed that even within a group of people who seem to agree on everything, there can be disagreements and conflicts. And sometimes, those conflicts can lead to terrible consequences.
