Background Information and Introduction Adolf Hitler gained chancellorship in January 1933, transforming the political ideology of the Weimar Republic to a one-party, totalitarian dictatorship – Nazi Germany. Richard Wagner; born on May 22, 1813, died February 13, 1883 – six years before Adolf Hitler’s birth – was a German composer known for his operas and “music dramas.” Adolf Hitler was first introduced to Richard Wagner’s works at the age of twelve, observing one of Wagner’s operas; Lohengrin. Hitler wrote how “At the age of twelve, I saw … the first opera of my life, Lohengrin. In one instant I was addicted. I was captivated. My youthful enthusiasm for the master of Bayreuth knew no bounds. Again and again I was drawn to his works, and it still seems to me especially fortunate that the most modest provincial performance left me open to an intensified experience later on.” After being denied enrollment in the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and experiencing a period of poverty, Hitler joined the Austrian military service in 1914 – serving in the army when World War I broke out. After Germany’s defeat, Hitler began political work in 1919, joining the German Worker’s Party. In 1920, he was in charge of the propaganda, devoting himself to advancing his position in the party. Renamed as the National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei – Nazis, resentment at the loss of World War I and economic losses caused discontent within the party. However, when Hitler became the party
Adolf Hitler is basically known for all the unpardonable things he has done. He drove Germany all through World War II. Hitler had amazing splendor; he was imaginative and keen. As a young man, his fantasy was to turn into a craftsman. Be that as it may, as he betrayed non-Aryans, the likelihood of him turning into a craftsman gradually floated from his psyche. Initially, he needed to turn into a craftsman, yet because of him not getting into Art school and the passing of his mom, his fantasies changed totally over the long haul.
Adolf Hitler was one of the most influential people in the interwar era. His actions during the interwar era caused World War II, which had enormous impacts on almost every country in the world. There are three reasons why he gained so much influence in Germany. First of all people were disappointed in the current German government and wanted a change. Secondly, Hitler and his Nazi party were similar in ideology to the majority of people and finally he was a great orator who used his similarity to the rest of the German people to help his party grow and to help himself become dictator.
Adolf Hitler once said “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Hitler rose from the middle class and built a nation on the ashes of an old one. Hitler took a defeated country and made it greater. Hitler was a soldier and earned the rank of corporal in world war 1 and eventually became fuhrer,(leader) before WW2. Adolf Hitler is obviously one of the most influential person of all time.

World War Two was filled with many different leaders, who all carried different leadership tactics that supported the efforts of the war in various ways. Two leaders that had a huge impact on the outcome of the war were Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. These two leaders were most commonly known for their negative impact on society; however, I am choosing to compare the good that these two leaders did for their country during their time in leadership.
Tremendous crowds of men, women and children cheer and wave at the sight of a small plane landing. Beautiful buildings are seen from above along with a congregation of German soldiers. All of these positive images are in support of Adolf Hitler arriving in Germany in the 1935 film Triumph des Willens. This was only one of the millions of sources of propaganda that the United States was going up against in joining World War II six years later. The Nazi party was in power, Europe was in a state of distress, and soon the whole world would be involved in a war that would devastate mankind for generations to come. The Second World War consisted of the Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, and Japan; and the Allied Powers: France, Britain, and Russia. America would join the Allies on December 7, 1941 after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only was this war fought among the many soldiers that gave their lives for their country; there was a subtle fight among the government controlled moviemakers and poster designers. These men and women played an important role in portraying their enemies and the war in a way that would stick in their fellow citizens’ heads to bring some type of unity for the nation. These psychological soldiers promoted patriotism through propaganda to sway the people of their country. Propaganda is defined as, “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one 's cause or to damage an opposing cause.” All of the participants in the war used it. Despite
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He had an interest in fine arts and tried to get into the Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected, and became homeless. As a result, he didn’t have an informal life. Hitler was in the German army for four years, and got rewarded for bravery. In addition, he became the leader of the National Socialism German Workers ' party that later was called the Nazi. He was anti-Marxist in addition to Stalin’s party. Hitler however, was charged of treason for trying to seize power by violence, and was sent to jail. During his time in jail, he wrote a book according to, Holocaust History, Hitler wrote “second Bible in Nazi Germany”. After Hitler got out of jail, he wanted to restore Germany’s power.
“After visiting these places, you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived.”
To assess the popularity of the Nazis one must first establish the meaning of popularity and in what ways it can be assessed. Popularity in this instance is support and conformity to the Nazi regime. This essay will span from Hitler and the party’s early days in the Burgerbraukeller in Munich up to the death of the regime in 1945. The evidence used will span from Hitler’s own words in ‘Mein Kampf’ to the masses of propaganda left behind upon the regimes collapse. The biggest historiographical debate in my opinion on this subject is ‘resistenz’ argued by Martin Broszat and ‘Loyal reluctance’ argued mainly by Robert Gellately and Ian Kershaw. During this essay both sides will be evaluated with the idea of popularity at the forefront and how each argument adds or detracts from my argument that the Nazis were mainly a popular regime.
Throughout history there were many plots that took place against Hitler, all of which failed to kill the Dictator of Germany. The most important assassination attempts were known as Operation Spark in 1943, and Operation Valkyrie, or known as the July 20th Plot, which took place in 1944. The importance of these assassination attempts was the people closest to Hitler, who has the realization that the country was going to be destroyed as long as Hitler was in power. However, these assassination attempts ended with Hitler sentencing the conspirers to death by the hundreds, making him more paranoid than ever and forcing him to continue with the losing war effort on the western and eastern fronts. Although the assassination attempts failed, they were able to play their part in helping the allies secure victory over the Nazi Regime. Inevitably, the only man that could end the war, and the only man that could kill Hitler, was Adolf Hitler himself.
Perhaps the most influential figure in modern history, Adolf Hitler has transformed the way people think of the word, “tyrant.” History.com gives its perspective on Hitler’s effects writing, “But there cannot be any doubt that in harnessing that energy to extraordinary projects and horrible crimes, Hitler placed his stamp on that war and on the twentieth century.” Events in Hitler’s youth contributed to his heinous actions during World War II. According to Heroes and Villains: Adolf Hitler, before World War I, Hitler spent much of his time reading German, anti-semitic literature. As a result, Hitler formed a strong disliking towards the Jews leading to his malevolent actions against them. This would carry on throughout his political career.
What impacts did Hitler have at the time and later in history? The start of World War II was one of the biggest impacts. There were many countries involved in this war. The major countries under the allies were Britain, France, U.S., Soviet Union, and under the axis also had major countries like the Germany, japan, and Italy. The Germany was at its peak. And it was all because of one man, Adolf Hitler, he was one of the most dominant German leaders in history, no doubt about that. Other superior leaders during World War II were: Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and the japan emperor Hirohito. Hitler was responsible for nearly 50 million deaths all around the world, and most importantly his hatred
Adolf Hitler has the image of having a ruthless evil character from his deeds during world war two. However evidences show that he was not a terribly evil person, but a normal person with large ambitions. Canadian prime minister Mackenzie King wrote in his journal after meeting with Adolf Hitler that, "he is really one who truly loves his fellow-men, and his country, and would make any sacrifice for their good…a man of deep sincerity and a genuine patriot," which all shows he was naturally a good person with a genuine ambition of wanting to create a better environment for himself and the country. In January 1933, Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and immediately began to challenge the Treaty of Versailles and adapt an aggressive foreign policy, which led to war. It is not hard to blame Adolf Hitler for starting the war, however looking at evidences show that he was naturally a good person that was not taught or at the very least did not bother to realize the importance of learning to control his ambitions to not reach the level of selfish greediness. Hence ambition is needed to proceed forward but the control of it must be taught to refrain from these event occurring.
Adolf Hitler was a very famous figure in which he was hated by most but in my opinion, he was a genius. In no way am I saying that he was a good man, but he was able to do so much on his own. The man was simply brilliant. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the German Nazi Party. He was born on April 20, 1889. He first became the leader of the party on August 2nd, 1934 and it was over on April 30th, 1945 (CITE SOURCE).

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
