Hitler 's Effect On The World War II

Adolf Hitler and his actions are the cause of World War II. “Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who don't want to fight in this world of eternal struggle they don't deserve to live, ” by Adolf Hitler. This is an important quote since Hitler believed in the power of war. His parents died when he was young, so he went into the army very young and fought in World War I.

From the very beginning of Adolf Hitler’s career, he had two goals. His primary goal was the forcible acquisition of living space, also known as Lebensraum, for the German people. Secondly, he plotted the extermination of the Jews. In 1935, Adolf Hitler openly violated the Treaty of Versailles by rapidly rebuilding the German Army. Other countries began to get nervous at the exponentially increasing German Army. Hitler assured fellow diplomats that the rapid growth was strictly a defensive measure. He claimed Germany had every right to build its forces to be on a level playing field with surrounding

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.

In 1936, defying the Treaty of Versailles (1919), Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland. He marched 30,000 troops into Cologne on March 7, 1936. France, with 250,000 troops mobilized, remained passive because Britain would not support her. Britain took the view that Germany was ‘marching into her own back yard.’ To show that his remilitarization was popular, Hitler held a plebiscite, which showed that 98% were in favor. He went on to build his own defensive fortification, the Siegfried Line.

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.

On February 3, 1933 during a meeting with German military leaders Hitler said his foreign policy was the conquest of Eastern Europe (Weinberg, 1970), also in 1933 Germany withdrew from the League of Nations, which should have been a warning sign that they were planning something big. This along with the increase of the Wehrmacht (German Army) to 600,000 should have thrown up some red flags to Britain and France that Hitler was up to no go. This was another of Hitler’s direct violations of the Versailles Treaty, yet no one stopped him, instead they let him continue untouched. Then in March of 1936

Hitler promised Germany that he would build up their army, totally re-arm them. He believed he also had the right to militarize the Rhineland, and place troops on his own frontier. Building up their army would in turn provide Germany with many jobs lost in the Great Depression. Austria was also economically unstable at the time. Hitler also promised that he would unite with Austria, and to solve their problems as well.

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.

The Holocaust The Holocaust was a very important time in history for not only people who were affected but for people who weren?t directly affected. Adolf Hitler was a powerful man at the time and created the Holocaust which was a way for him to kill off the Jewish population. First and most important was how did Hitler get all the Jews to follow his rules and comply? Well to start off with he sent his army to the Jewish homes and captured them and at that point in time the Jewish were compliant.

The Treaty of Versailles imposed strict limitations on the German Army. In fact, in Germany’s armed forces were limited to: only 100,000 men, conscription was banned, they were only allowed to have six battleships, the Rhineland became a demilitarised area and they were not allowed to have submarines and aircrafts.This was significant as Germans were not happy about this and Hitler managed to use this as an argument to fuel German’s hatred towards the Treaty of Versailles and consequently gained more followers and rise to power.

Hitler was openly accepting that his actions could have caused war with Britain and France, but they remained proactive in their dealings with Hitler, instead trying to reason with the German leader and make compromises in return for peace. France and Germany avoided any military action at this point in time as The Great Depression had hindered their military rearming production and war would be costly and in particular France, public opinion opposed any conflict with Hitler’s German forces.[7]

When people think about World War II, most minds flicker to Adolf Hitler. His strong opinions and beliefs made a powerful impact on the world during his time and many are still impacted by his actions today. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. Growing up, he had a hateful attitude towards his father who did not allow him to have any kind of freedom. Hitler often found refuge in his mother, who died at a crucial time of his life when he was 19 years old.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria. He had a huge impact on our world today. Hitler had many events happen in his life including World War I, the Nazi group, the Holocaust. Many things impacted the future actions and emotions of Hitler, especially his early life.

However, we all know how Hitler loved to break the rules, ignoring the Treaty, he started to increase the size of the German army to more than half a million men. Hitler’s clever tactics never let the world knew what he was up to, until he announced it to everyone by March 1935. Britain and France were in the fear of another major war so that’s why they kept their mouths shut and gave permission to let him increase his army. Hitler had already clearly stated both in his speeches and his book, “Mein Kampf” he would break the inequitable terms of the Treaty Of Versailles which meant that he already would have studied and made plans of how to overcome his hurdles. Even though, if Britain and France had tried stopping or preventing him from rearming Germany they wouldn’t be able to because everything was done in private.

In 1935 Hitler staged a massive rally in order to show the world the German armed forces. In 1936 he also introduced conscription to the army. Although this was a risky move, Hitler guessed right, in thinking that he could get away with rearmament. Many other countries were also using rearmament as a method of reducing the unemployment rate. The collapse of the League of Nations Disarmament Conference in 1934 had shown that other countries were not prepared to disarm.
