Why did Brüning fled Germany in 1934?
Financial troubles
Family commitments
Rise to power of Adolf Hitler
He was offered a job abroad
Answer
The primary reason for Brüning's departure was the consolidation of power by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. As Chancellor, Brüning had implemented unpopular austerity measures and faced increasing pressure from both the left and the right. Hitler's rise threatened Brüning's democratic government, and his policies were seen as incompatible with the Nazi ideology.
