The German Reichstag was set on fire

91

years ago

27 February 1933,

The Dutch Marinus van der Lubber burned the Reichstag or German parliament. Despite being an individual act, Hitler, already Chancellor, used it to fight the Communists. It established a state of emergency and harassed left-wing opposition, arresting thousands of citizens and imprisoning 4,000. It was the starting point for the Third Reich.
