How did Hitler become chancellor

Following the July 1932 elections, the Nazis secured 230 seats, making them the largest party but lacking a majority. Despite Hitler's demand for chancellorship, Hindenburg, suspicious of him, refused. In December 1932, Hindenburg appointed Kurt von Schleicher instead. However, in January 1933, seeking Reichstag support, Hindenburg reluctantly appointed Hitler after secret negotiations. Hitler's chancellorship resulted from a behind-the-scenes deal with German aristocrats, who naively believed they could control him.
