Hitler 's Effect On The Second World War

On June 28th 1919, in the Versailles Palace of France, the treaty of Versailles officially ended World war one. The signers of this treaty implemented certain restrictions on Germany that were to guarantee Germany would never start another world war. This begs the question, “what did the end of one war have to do with the start of World War Two?”. The evidence shows that it was this treaty’s influence on Adolf Hitler that led to the Versailles Treaty’s ultimate failure and provoked the start of the next world war. Because of this treaty Adolf Hitler’s economic plan, proposed while he was seeking political election, was focused on rebuilding and reclaiming Germany. This went hand in hand with the nationalist ideas of the Nazi party.

World War II was a war of two military-political coalitions, which became the largest armed conflict in history. It was attended by sixty two countries. The fighting took place on the territory of three continents and on the waters of the four oceans. This is the only conflict where nuclear weapons used.

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.

As I’m sure most people know Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Germans from August 2 1934 to April 30 1945, but do you know that as Fuhrer of Germany he was the driving force behind the start of WWII. During his reign he tried to bring Germany back to the powerful country it had been before the First World War. In this paper I will prove that Hitler’s actions lead to start of WWII, and I plan to prove how his direct disregard of the Treaty of Versailles pushed the world into WWII.

Throughout World War two, Hitler had a devastating impact on the world we live in today. His rise to power took place over the course of about twelve years. He emerged as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and didn't give up that title until after world war two was finished in 1945. One of the reasons world war two initiated was because Hitler didn't comply with the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was determined upon by the 'Big Three' or the 'League of Nations' after the devastating impact world war one left in the world. The treaty promised peace among all countries, however, Hitler believed that it made Germany weak and disgraced.

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.” After being denied enrollment in the Academy of Fine Arts, 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.

Hitler from the start of his chancellorship, on the 31st of January 1933, knew that if he wanted to make Germany strong again he would have to be prepared to go to war. In 1933 he began the secret equipment of the German army, so he came public with this plan in 1935. Also the economic distress in Weimar Germany and by having their ‘brown shirts’, the Nazis became a governmental force. On January 30 1933, Hitler was placed in a position take power when he was appointed Reich president by President Paul von Hindenburg. Although Britain and France were aware of Hitler’s plans, they were probably more concerned about the rise of socialism and believed that a stronger Germany might help to prevent the spread the socialism to the western side. In this paragraph I have explained how evil Hitler was involved in causing World War 2, the plans he had and the fear of socialism was going to be stop by a strong Germany.

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

There were loopholes present in the Treaty of Versailles that allowed Hitler and Nazi extremists to exploit.

On January 30, 1933, The Holocaust began. An event that was caused by simple hatred. An invasion that swept all over Germany and caused by one man. His name was Adolf Hitler and he was responsible for the death of more than six million innocent lives.

This was the leading cause for the war Adolf Hitler was a great reteratition. Basically that means he was a great talker. Kinda like our politicians of today. Using this skill he was able to convince the German people that going to war was a good idea. He had many motivational speeches directed toward his people causing many to treat him as a god.

‘From the first day that he "seized power," January 30, 1933, Hitler knew that only sudden death awaited him if he failed to restore pride and empire to post-Versailles Germany.’[1] The Second World War was the deadliest battle in History. Figures estimate that over 59 million people were killed during its conflict. German leadership was under Adolf Hitler, a ruthless dictator who was the chancellor of Germany during the majority of the conflict. It is debatable that Hitler was solely responsible for the events in which lead to and occurred during the Second World War. Hitler was responsible to a large degree, however cannot be accountable for every aspect in which the

On April 30th, 1945 Hitler escaped the Canary Islands, and escaped to Argentina to hide. He went through the tempelhof airport to the Canary Island and ported a U-boat. The U-boat took him to Argentina where every person thought he was died.

Stolley writes that Hitler made a Nazi party and more than 100,000 Germans had joined the Nazi. They started to build a modern Air Force and enlarged the small army allowed them under the Treaty of Versailles (Stolley 12). As Hitler was consolidating his power in his homeland, he also began moving toward his ultimate goal: world domination. The next big step was when Hitler made two important alliances, Italy and Japan, that ruled by Benito Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito. They called themselves as the Axis, the major capitalist democracies.

Adolph Hitler came to power in 1933. Germany was finally going to be rebuilt after the terrible loss in World War I. The first few years were nice: Germany was being rebuilt, the League of Nations was coming together, and the people were getting everything they wanted. Germany’s situation was looking up, until Hitler began passing laws stripping Jews of their freedoms and honor. Regardless of position, role played during the first World War, or wealth, there was no protection for the Jews after their rights were stripped away.
