ELI5: Why the Nazi regime was so successful.

Why did it take so long for others to realize the threat to world peace? I know the country was in a time of despair and German citizens were willing to blame anybody, but why did other nation's ambassadors living in Berlin during the rise fail to speak up?

1.  germany was in the worst depression the modern world has ever known.  their money was worth more as firewood than it was in purchasing power.  people were without jobs, secure homes, or basic *reliable* infrastructure.  this created a sense of desperation with the german people.  

2.  germany was being forced to pay for WW1, further injuring their economic future.  they were unable to pay most of their bills to the other nations.

3. germany, and a large portion of the rest of europe was already anti-semetic.  hitler didn't introduce hatred or mistrust to his people, they already felt that way.  he just amplified it.  

4.  as hitler improved germany, other european leaders were more concerned with rebuilding their own nations and preventing another war.  most of europe had thought WW1 was the war to end all wars, and thought if they gave hitler some appeasement, that he would just rebuild germany, make it an economic success, and leave everyone else alone.  

5.  hitler's initial invasions were of countries that were historically parts of germany.  thus, lowering the "care" factor in other leaders.  

6.  the united states made the decision to say "my name's paul, the shit's between ya'll" early in the european conflict.   

7.  hitler's economic ideas were actually pretty fucking good.  weather or not they were sustainable is a different discussion, but for the time and place, they were outstanding, and there were many national socialist movements in other countries, and these movements actually had some clout.  the united states was one of those countries.  

8. by the time all was said and done, and hitler had started another war, to much had been done, with to little intervention to stop it all without furthering another major war.  

in essence, there was a horrible rainstorm (european socio-economic system collapse) and a single tent with everyone in it (efforts to fix the problems after the great depression of the late 20's and damaged european infrastructure) and a camel who wanted to just poke his head in the tent and out of the rain (hitler/third reich).  they let the camel put his head in the tent, but then they couldn't stop him from barging all the way in, and thus tearing the tent down as it was to small to house him.
