Essay on Adolf Hitler

As a result, the Hitler and Nazis aimed to discredit its competitors and garner support for creating a German “living space”. To simplify, in 1933 the Reichstag, a parliamentary building in Berlin, was set aflame by a young communist. Strategically, it presented an opportunity to the Nazi party to attack the Communist Party by suggesting it was plotting against the German government. Symbolically, it “produced the… event portending the destruction of parliamentary government by dictatorship.” Sworn into the position of Chancellor four weeks prior, Hitler was able to convince President von Hindenburg to initiate an emergency decree that would suspend all civil liberties. Soon after, the government made mass arrests of self-proclaimed communists and communist delegates alike, allowing the Nazis to become to majority party in parliament.

Adolf Hitler was born 1908 in Austria to his mother, Klara ,and his drunk of a father, Alois(Schlesinger 7). He deeply loved his mother and worshiped his father. Though it may be thought otherwise, Hitler had a fairly ordinary childhood in Austria. His life as a young man showed no evidence of what he would grow up to be, but that doesn't mean he didn't have Demons. His father was a tyrant. He ruled his family with force and aggression, and regularly beat Adolf. He would often whip the family dog till it wet the floor. Alois Hitler died when Adolf was fourteen. With his father no longer there to enforce good grades, he started to study less and fail more. When he turned sixteen, he gave up completely, and dropped out.

On July 14, 1933, Hitler’s Nazi party was declared the only legal political party in Germany. Hitler’s ways of gaining followers, worked well for him in the aspect of getting things done. He quickly created a fascist government and was focused on continually pleasing the people. However as the year went on, Hitler used his power for his own selfish hate against Jews. Unknown to many, Hitler and his Nazi regime instituted many laws and regulations that restricted and excluded Jews from society. These laws were known as Anti-Semetic. In 1936, Hitler paused the enforcement of the Anti-Semetic laws when Germany hosted winter and summer Olympics. Hitler hosted these games in an effort to avoid a negative world view on Germany and to essentially be on everyone’s good side. However soon after the Olympics, Hitler went right back to the persecuting of Jews. It began to escalate very

Adolf Hitler is one of the most notorious ruthless dictators in history. He was born April 20, 1889, and died April 30, 1945. Hitler beliefs were that Germans were the superior race. He had hatred for Jews because he felt that they “stole the victory from the country in WW1.” These were his sins: he banished them from government jobs and banned them from universities.

“Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, which was on Easter Sunday. Adolf was one of four children but none of the other children lived past two years of age. After Adolf was born, his mom, Klara, had two more kids who did live to be older than two. Adolf’s mom, Klara, had been traumatized by the death of her first three children, causing her to go crazy”. Klara always worried about Adolf dying. Adolf also had two half brothers and sisters from his dad Alois Hitler. Alois Hitler was never a big part of Adolf’s life and he struggled with that.

His dad would get drunk and go crazy on his family, this is not a way to grow up, and it certainly impacted Hitler and history. “When his father died Hitler roamed the streets dreaming of his future as an artist. When Hitler was 18, he tried to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected twice this caused him a lot of frustration.” When Hitler was 25 he was part of the military and served in World War I, this allowed him to release some of the anger and frustration. “While in the army Hitler was wounded twice, once by gas. This is said to be the reason he went a little crazy. While in the war this is when he started to hate the Jews. Hitler said, while in the war that the Jews were everywhere and he began to hate them more and more as he saw

Hitler's Rise to Power In 1919 The Weimar Republic encountered harsh economic, social and political problems.

He was persuasive and told people what they wanted to hear. Because of this, he was a very successful propaganda artist. Driven by Germany's loss in WWI and humiliation, which was a result of the terms in the treaty of Versailles, Hitler found many followers who sympathized with his cause. After his political group failed an attempt to overpower the Bavarian government, he was arrested and jailed for nine months. While imprisoned, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), which was his autobiography, and it was full of his political ideas as well as the policies for what would become the Nazi organization. Later, he would use this book to spread his ideas and indoctrinate people into the Nazi party. At one point in time, he tried to destroy all other books in Germany. He required that Mein Kampf be taught in the schools, and children learned at a very young age that they were to be Nazis and support Hitler.

Before in 1923 Hitler and others of Kampfbund tried to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany. This was known as the Beer Hall Putsch.

Born in the Austrian town of Braunau on April 20, 1889, Adolf was the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler. By 1900, young Adolf's talents as an artist surfaced. He did well enough in school to be eligible for either the university preparatory school or the technical/scientific Realschule. Because the technical/scientific Realschule had a course in drawing, Adolf enrolled in there.

In 1906, Adolf traveled Vienna to seek his fortune, but he wasn't able to get admission to any prestigious art school. Hitler spent six years there, living on a

The Great depression, which happened between 1929-1939, was one of the most detrimental and devastating events that happened in history. It came about because of the Stock market crash in 1929. This soon led to hyperinflation and many people especially investors started to panic and sell all their stocks and shares. This led to a huge number of unemployed people, especially young people who had just finished school with no work experience. Many people were starving and people roamed the streets looking for jobs or any scraps of food. Although for many people it was a devastating time, for the Nazis it was a breakthrough. They used this time of hardship to their advantage and used propaganda to gain support. Hitler gave the people hope and told them that he “would make Germany great again”. Although no one had initially taken any interest in Hitler they started to pay attention as they were desperate and they turned to him as their last resort. Even though this was a turning point, many people would argue that in hindsight, that there were other events that happened around that time, that were more significant as a turning point for the Nazi party, such as Hitler becoming Chancellor.
