Hitler's Goal: Global Conquest

Adolf Hitler once said, “Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, and assassination. This is the war of the future.”(Adolf Hitler Quote). Guided by these words, Hitler continued to annihilate the Jews and anyone that opposed to him or his government. As a child, he was influenced by many and belittled by many more. Hitler’s desire for prestige and dominance turned him into the most powerful and nefarious man in German history.

The debate as to whether Hitler was a ‘weak dictator’ or ‘Master of the Third Reich’ is one that has been contested by historians of Nazi Germany for many years and lies at the centre of the Intentionalist – Structuralist debate. On the one hand, historians such as Bullock, Bracher, Jackel and Hildebrand regard Hitler’s personality, ideology and will as the central locomotive in the Third Reich. Others, such as Broszat, Mason and Mommsen argue that the regime evolved out from pressures and circumstances rather than from Hitler’s intentions. They emphasise the institutional anarchy of the regime as being the result of Hitler’s ‘weak’ leadership. The most convincing standpoint is the

As the citizens of Germany endorsed Hitler’s new cutting-edge ideas, they gained enthusiasm and determination to regain their power. Germany came to the conclusion that war was the only solution to their problem when Hitler wrote, “No nation can remove this hand from its throat except by the sword” (Document A). These words reveal that Hitler’s thoughts and opinions affected those around him. By saying this, he suggested that he understood what Germany wanted and knew that they wouldn’t get it unless they followed his methods. People who read what Hitler wrote were hugely impacted by it, so much so that they began to think with their emotions instead of their heads.

Karl Marx’s maxim that ‘men make their own history…under given and imposed conditions’ has been tainted by several revisionist historians as the catalyst for Hitler’s foreign policy. A.J.P. Taylor even goes on to argue that Hitler was not only continuing a policy of previous German governments but he also believes Hitler can not be directly implemented in the events which unleashed WW2. However, to attribute Hitler’s foreign policy purely to his opportunistic characteristics would be to ignore his personal motivations and both racist and expansionist ideology. This facile explanation also fails to look at Hitler’s intentions echoed fearlessly throughout his speeches, address, and party literature of reversing the Treaty of Versailles to

This investigation will explore the question: Was Hitler’s greatest reason for starting World War II to create a Master Race or to regain Germany’s lost territory? From years 1889 to 1945 will be the focus of this investigation, to allow for an analysis of Hitler’s greatest reason to start World War I.

As World War II drew closer and countries began to feel the drums of war grow louder a man by the name of Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party had already taken control of Germany’s government and was set on taking over the world, for a thousand year reign. Some of Hitler’s beliefs consisted of him thinking that the Germans should have more “living space” and that only the people with German blood or Aryan blood should inhabit Germany. Adolf wanted to rid Germany of the mentally and physically disable, because they were seen as weak and brought shame on his “perfect race.” Not only that,

Once in power, Adolf Hitler wasted no time establishing a fascist regime. He was a man obsessed with translating his ideals into a reality. In order to accomplish such a feat, Hitler and the Nazi party would have to mold the German people into a single unit that would follow him and his regime under any circumstances (Spielvogel, 140). Hitler viewed himself as a messianic leader with a mission to “liberate the German people and make Germany great” (Spielvogel, 132). Hitler was a great orator and considered himself a “great simplifier.” During his speeches, he “inhaled the feelings of his audience,” and then expressed to his listeners

Learning about Adolf Hitler and the tragedy of the Holocaust, was a changing point to many, of how ones society could be exterminated because of one’s hair and eye color, sexual preference, religious affiliation, the perpetrators mood that day. Adolf was a wicked, selfish man, which only had a specific rule on how the world should be. Hitler believed that humanity evolved above the point where nature

This essay will talk about the life of the Nazi Party (also known as the National Socialist German Workers ' Party), Fascism in Germany, and Adolf Hitler. It will think about what influenced Germany to vote for the Nazis and whether or not Hitler was brought up with the idea of fascism, or whether he was mentally scarred from a young age. This essay will also discuss about how did the Nazis do in their early years in the German elections, and how did a fascist party with such ludicrous ideas persuade a country as large and as multi - religion as Germany?

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

Outline Thesis statement: Since World War II, researchers and historians are arguing, is Adolf Hitler a great leader or not? It is believed he is, because he made a lot of people follow him and he lead them into conquering almost the whole world in a difficult economic circumstances, while his allies and other countries were in a complex situation during the world war 2 (WW2). I. Hitler almost conquered the world : A. The Nazis and the Empire of Japan have conquered most or all of the world, B. Due to the economic development, rearmaments, the military management, planning, and no major powers remained to be confronted. C. According to the article (Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II) ,between 1939 and June 1941 the German army invaded and occupied many

Not many people know of the reason on how Hitler came to the rise of his power and how he took control of Germany and started the revolution that was World War II. In order for Hitler to gain power, there were events that had occurred which may have impacted as an aide for his rise in power. There was the Treaty of Versailles, which was the treaty that the allies came up with to end World War I. The Munich Beer Hall Putsch was an event to help gain support for Hitler’s group. Hitler gained his recognition of power after Hindenburg’s death on August 2, 1934, so all of the events discussed in this paper are before this time. (1) I will investigate and analyze the failures of these events, which helped lead to that point of when Hitler was known to become the notorious dictator that he is known

Hitler’s main argument concentrated on comparing Germany’s present problems with the glory days of Germany. In this amalgamation of pathos and slight logos, Hitler used history to his benefit. Shrewdly, Hitler feasts on his audience’s sentiments, yet, at the same time, is able to connect with them sincerely. By offering up lines such as “The misery of our people is horrible to behold!” and “…the Almighty has withheld his blessing from our people,” Hitler institutes that Germany is not what it once was, However, Hitler does this not to bring the German people more into sorrow and shame, but so that he now has the capability to give his audience a tiny sight of hope – the notion that Germany will one day return to and even exceed its former

Adolf Hitler once said, “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.” In other words, it is evident Hitler himself confessed to utilize propaganda as one of his most skillful methods of manipulation in his attempt to make of his “Final Solution” a reality. Hitler’s Final Solution first became a possibility after the culmination of World War I, when the Allied powers constituted by Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and The United States became victorious of this prolonged and deadly war. Nevertheless, what unquestionably had the greatest impact on the eventual influence of Hitler’s Final Solution were the reparations, War Guilt Clause, disarmament, and Territorial Clauses imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles: A treaty designed by the League of Nations that did not only condemned Germany to pay for

From Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor on January 30 1933 to the beginning of WWII on Sept 3 1939, the Nazi state pursued an aggressive foreign policy that contributed largely to the outbreak of war. This foreign policy was largely reflective of the goals Hitler had set out in his 1924 autobiography “Mein Kampf”, particularly Germany’s easterly moving aggressions. However, although Nazi ideology played a dominant role in structuring foreign policy to 1939, it was also greatly influenced by the response of the Allies to aggressions and therefore Hitler’s perception of which foreign policies could be most successful. Hence, whilst Nazi ideology surmises the
