History Of World War II: Master Of The Third Reich

The rise and fall of Adolf Hitler was very interesting from birth, in Braunau Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889, till his suicide with his wife on April 30, 1945, in his Berlin bunker. The events throughout his life have been reviewed by many people. This paper will touch on his early years , rise of power , and death. Through this path, Hitler left a legacy that is still remembered today and studied in schools throughout the world.

In this CourseWork,the Reichstag Fire 1933 will be compared to the various events that influenced Hitler’s consolidation of power. This will be done by investigating which event was more significant and influential to Hitler and the Nazi Party. The Reichstag Fire affected and helped Hitler concrete an extremely strong argument to imprison Communist, resulting in a tremendous advantage at elections in March 1933. On the other hand, the Munich Putsch made Hitler realise that to conquer power he would have to wait, and conquer everything democratically, and the perfect time to launch his plan was during the Great Depression, if this events were not subsequent, Hitler may had not consolidated his powers. Nonetheless, Hitler becoming Chancellor

From the time Hitler and the Nazi’s took control of Germany in 1933 until the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, the aim of the regime under the calculating guidance of Hitler himself sought no less than global conquest. This ambitious objective can be further dissected into short term and long term goals that provide insight into Hitler’s character, thoughts and actions.

Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, and within eight years, a program was started that lead to the murder of over six million Jews. This program, known as the Holocaust, can be partially attributed to Hitler, and his thoughts and actions. This debate is an important one in discovering the nature of the Nazi government, and the influence that people and circumstances have on the government. It allows us to know how much of the Holocaust was planned by one person, and how much the rest of the government was at fault. The knowledge of the origins of the Holocaust will help us prevent another Holocaust from happening.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was a summary of Adolf’s journey from his boyhood to his final decision to end his life. Shirer successfully made his case as he laid down many points that proved the foolishness of the German citizen in becoming aroused by Hitler’s power and not reacting to stop him from getting any more powerful. The point of view must be addressed. Based on the author’s choice of words and writing, it was clear that he had found Hitler distasteful as he uses the words restless, bitter, demonic, and ruthless to describe the Fuhrer throughout the book. Therefore the writings in the book could have been influenced by the fact that he lived and worked in the Third Reich and witnessed Adolf Hitler’s rise of power first hand. The audience of the book, based on the difficulty of reading and the content, should be for young adults and older, historians, and for anyone interested in this topic. The book could be used for further research into this subject or simply for the pleasure of new information that have never been seen before in other famous Holocaust stories such as The Diary of Anne Frank. This book will definitely stimulate further conversation among historians and history lovers and historiography on this subject as the author’s thesis is quite controversial. Overall, I have liked the thoroughness of this book and all the interesting insights in which I have never come upon with other books talking about the Third Reich, I don’t recommend taking this

Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

The Holocaust was a systematic government enforced persecution and murder of the Jews that took place throughout Nazi-occupied territories under the command of Adolf Hitler. Although the rest of the world did not suffer from the abuse, murder and isolation that the Jews endured, the brutal polices against Jews caused major destruction and sparked tremendous outrage globally. World War 2 erupted after Adolf Hitler won the election for Germany’s leader in 1933. Throughout the years, his dictatorship grew and his aim was to abolish the Treaty of Versailles, issued at the end of World War 1, and regain Germany’s power. A study of the Holocaust provides the information on what prompted the holocaust and its relation to the dictatorship that Germany was under, the policies that were involved, including Ant-Semitism, Concentration Camps and Ghettos, and how the Holocaust impacted the Jews and the rest of the world.

In the article entitled “Hitler Comes to Power” Patrica Smith focuses on why Hitler came to power, and how history can repeat itself again. First Smith discusses about the critical condition of Germany, Germany was going through a hard time after their defeat in the World War I. In this depressing time the Nazi party gains more power by promising the German citizens good times, by providing more jobs and food. The writer also states that Paul von Hindenburg, the president of Germany appoints Hitler as the chancellor, because of the rise in power of the Nazi’s. However, Hitler uses his power for his own will and destroys Germany’s democracy to become the dictator of Germany. In addition, she points out that Hitler used his power to for his own

The Nazis were the ones responsible for the beginning of World War II and also the Holocaust. They were run by fascist and anti-Semitism principles. Adolf Hitler was originally working for the German Army to investigate political parties. When he was investigating the German Workers Party, Hitler became an active member in the party and went to meetings frequently. He became a powerful political speaker for the party and eventually became the leader (Fuhrer). Hitler believed that Jews and communists were responsibly for everything negative that was happening at the time, he also persuaded others to believe this.

The rise and subsequent take-over of power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party in the early 1930s was the culmination and continuation not of Enlightenment thought from the 18th and 19th century but the logical conclusion of unstable and cultural conditions that pre-existed in Germany. Hitler’s Nazi Party’s clear manipulation of the weak state of the Weimar Republic through its continued failure economically and socially, plus its undermining of popular support through the signing the Treaty of Versailles all lead to the creation of a Nazi dictatorship under the cult of personality of Hitler. This clear take-over of power and subsequent destruction of any

The Third Reich was a period of time from 1933-1945 where all of Germany and some of Europe were ruled by the Nazis. The Third Reich developed from an idea in the brain of leader Adolf Hitler, to a world power that no one thought could be stopped. The Reich was originally just a small group of people that wanted change in Germany. Eventually though, the Reich developed into the main power of Germany and most of Europe. This new government felt that Germany needed to expand its power. They did this by invading Poland in 1939. However, in doing so, they started a major war that would eventually lead to their defeat. The Third Reich was a devastating period of time in Germany, Europe, and the rest of the world. The ideas

The Weimar Constitution was a genuine attempt to create a perfect democratic country. In his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1960), American historian William L. Shirer described the Weimar Constitution as "on paper, the most liberal and democratic document of its kind the twentieth century had ever seen ... full of ingenious and admirable devices which seemed to guarantee the working of an almost flawless democracy.” The constitution guaranteed equal rights to the German people, yet also contained the fundamental structural flaws that would play a major part in the Republic 's downfall (and thus the Nazi Party’s rise). Two clear examples of such weaknesses were the use of an excessively proportional electoral system and the

The second of many occurrences’ which brought about World War II was the rise of fascism. This began when Hitler rose to power and was elected chancellor (Führer) on 30 January 1933, when the previous president (Paul Hindenburg) stepped down from power and handed him the position. Once in power Hitler began rehabilitating German forces and fixing the current economic system, he made polices and rules revolving mainly around ‘synchronisation’ and order. He forced the populace to attend mass gatherings of worship and expression of power at which he planned speeches to further his grasp and control over society. He implemented compulsory military service, denounced Jewish citizenship, made strict and harsh polices for all German Citizens and punished

Nazi Germany was between the dates of 1933-1939. Throughout this essay, Conditions in Germany when Hitler came to power including the impact of the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression and the weakness of the Weimar republic, will be discussed. The Concept of a Totalitarian State and how Hitler and the Nazi party developed in Germany through the use of force, controlled education, militarism, propaganda, economic policies, and no political opposition. Some of the Positives that came from Nazi Germany were increased prosperity including full employment and economic growth, regaining lost territories, increased national prestige and pride, and the hosting of 1936 Olympics. Some of the Negatives that came from Nazi Germany were Persecution of minorities, loss of personal freedoms, economic growth focused on the military, and expansionism as a path to war. This essay will re-state weather Nazi Germany was an overall positive or negative experience for people in Germany.

The reign of Nazi Germany was arguably the most horrific eras the world has ever seen. Led by German chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust annihilated six million European Jews because he felt that Jews were “inferior,” to the “racially superior” German’s. (1) The word Holocaust originates from Greek, meaning “sacrifice by fire.” (2) The rise of the Nazi empire, though, did not happen over-night.
