Essay on Adolf Hitler

Even though Hindenburg was re-elected with a ballot of 53%, Hitler was only marginally behind with a ballot of 36.8%. By the 1932 election, the Nazi’s accounted for 37.3% or 230 seats in the Reichstag. These figures meant that the Nazi party were the largest party in the Reichstag, although they did not have an outright majority and therefore could not assume automatic power. By January 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg.

When fire damaged the Reichstag building in spring 1933, Hitler blamed the communists and persuaded President Hindenburg to sign dictatorial emergency decrees.

Adolf Hitler did not have a good early life. He was born on April 20, 1889 In Austria. He was never very social with his peers or his family, besides his mother who died when he was very young. He had intended to become an artist, and drew excellent landscapes. His father, though, did not approve of his plan, and was very abusive to him. He was actually part Jewish although born a Catholic. No one seemed to take him serious. He wanted to prove his power. (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

This act would allow Hitler to pass any law on his own accord without having to consult with the Reichstag for the next four years. To validate the political authority of Hitler and the Nazi Party, Jonas advised Hitler to instruct the Nazi Party to organize a campaign to assassinate all the leaders in the Sturmabteilung, SA, who could have posed a challenge to Hitler’s leadership. By getting rid of any form of competition, Hitler would be the sole option to lead. On June 30, 1934, the Night of Long Knives, the assassinations began and after about three to four weeks they had successfully purged the Nazi party of any threats. When President Hindenburg died of natural causes on August 2, 1934, Hitler became the sole ruler of Germany and now nothing stood in his way. Jonas had finally accomplished his goal to get Hitler in power and was proud of this achievement.

In 1934, after the death of President Hindenburg, Hitler took over to become “Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor.” He abolished the title of President at that time. (25) In the years that followed, he surged to such great power that he was obsessed with taking over the world.

After World War One Hitler took control of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party, which he hoped would lead Germany. He was put in jail after a failed coup attempt in 1923. When he was released, he started to expand the party so he could seize power of Germany. In 1932 Hitler was granted German citizenship. During the 1932 elections the Nazi Party got 37.3 Percent of the votes, making it the controlling political party of Germany.

On January 30, 1933, Paul von Hindenburg, president of Germany, appointed Adolf Hitler as the new chancellor of Germany. He chose Hitler “because Hindenburg believed that he could be easily controlled.” ("Hindenburg, Paul von.") By the time Hindenburg died, Hitler was in such complete control, that he was able to usurp the authority of of the presidency and became the ruler of Germany and leader of the Nazi party. This led to Hitler being the most successful leader ever.

<br>By the summer of 1923, the Nazi party had grown to 150,000 members. Hitler knew this was the right time to take over the government. On November 11,1923, Hitler and his 3,000 men marched to Berlin in an attempt to take it over. The German police were waiting. This was also part of the Beer hall Putsch. Shooting broke out between the two parties. Sixteen Nazis and three policemen laid dead from this massacre. Hitler was sentenced for high treason for 5 years. While he was in prison he wrote Mein Kamp a book that stated his beliefs, and his plan for Germany in the future. He also talked about the superiority of Germans, the concept of the pure-Aryan. He blamed the Jews for the evils of the world and accused them of corrupting everything of ethical and national value.

Hitler attracted many Germans that wanted it change through his powerful speaking. He persuaded everyone a better life and a better and prosperous Germany. In 1923 while Hitler was imprisoned, he wrote his book “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle) which expressed his ideas about radical theory and Nazi dominion. He realized that he must apply legitimate democracy in his struggle to seize power. The Nazi party was mostly liked by the lower middle class, the employed, and the young people. This party rose to power rapidly. Before the economic depression occurred, the Nazi party was unknown, winning only 3 percent of the vote to the German parliament in the 1924 election. But in the 1932 election, the Nazi party won 33 percent which was more than any of the other parties. By January 1933, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor which gave him the job of being

The early years of Adolf Hitler set the path for Hitler’s politics. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 to Alois and Klara Hitler (“Adolf Hitler: Early Years, 1889-1913”). Adolf Hitler’s father was “stubborn and single-minded” (Davidson 9). His father set a standard and a requirement for Hitler to keep his status as middle class

The name later changed to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei which was abbreviated to nazi. He personally made the party banners and prepared for speeches against the treaty of versailles and many others. In 1932, he ran against Paul Von Hindenburg for the presidency of Germany. He came in second place for the elections in which the results showed that Hitler was a strong force in German politics. After Heidenburg won, he appointed Adolf Hitler as the Chancellor to benefit political balance. He took his position as an advantage to from a legal dictatorship. On July 14, 1933, Hitler’s party was announced as one of the only legal parties in Germany. Later that year, he ordered Germany to drop out of the League of Nations. The

This showed Adolf had a strong presence in German politics and thus Hindenburg gave Adolf the position of Chancellor to maintain political balance. In achieving this position, Adolf used it to form a legal dictatorship. After a suspicious fire at parliament, Hitler was able to suspend basic rights and allow detention without trial, as well as giving his cabinet full legislative powers for a period of four years, allowing them to ignore the constitution. Hitler then sought to remove all other political presence from Germany, which he officially did on July 14th, 1933 when the Nazi Party was officially declared to be the only legal political party in Germany. October that same year Hitler withdrew Germany from the League of Nations.

The Newspaper, Völkischer Beobachter, was banned along with the party itself. Hitler only served nine months, during which he wrote Mein Kampf, which contained Hitler’s beliefs and ideas, although it was originally ignored. During his time in prison Hitler also revised his strategies. He realised he could only obtain power legally, and to do so he would have to persuade the German electorate to vote for him. After his release Hitler reaffirmed his control over the re-established National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP).

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria where he was baptized into the Catholic church. He was the son of an Austrian customs official, and dropped out of high school at age sixteen. As a young man, Hitler dreamed of being an artist. He applied to the Vienna Academy of the Arts twice and was rejected both times. He made a meager living by painting and selling postcards in Linz, Vienna, and Munich. Hitler affected Germany greatly because of his political offices. He founded the Nazi party and served as chancellor until the death of President Paul Von Hindenburg when he became the sole dictator of Germany. Hitler affected millions of people worldwide through his political and social views and actions. He was brutal, assertive, and

The Nazis turned to violence and blackmail to strengthen their hold on Germany. As a result, Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany in January 1933. This was the position Hitler needed to enact his plan of eradicating the world of the
