I chose to research world war 2 because I am into history and Hitler is one of the many leaders. To come up with a research question, I ask myself why it’s important to learn about Hitler. After researching a little about him, my research question is “how did Hitler’s propaganda and ideas, persuade the German people to elect him as their chancellor”? I narrow my search by looking at the historical figures in world war 2. I look at who had the most impact and who I can learn the most about that will interest me? I found out that Hitler’s leadership skills are very important to how he got into power. With this information, my final thesis is “Hitler’s propaganda and ideas brought him to power by taking advantage of the Treaty of Versailles and …show more content…
I used the first two keywords to learn about his ideas and goals. Then I use a category from my thesis to support the first two keywords. Advanced search techniques that I used was Boolean operator and broad searching. I broke my thesis into concepts such as Hitler’s propaganda and ideas, Treaty of Versailles and treating the German people as one entity. After that, I used concept terms and alternative words to replace each concept. I replace Hitler’s propaganda and ideas with Hitler’s ideology, Treaty of Versailles with the advantage of treaties and treating the German people as one entity with treating the mass as a whole. Then I use nesting to put them all together and add parentheses to each concept. I came up with (Hitler’s Ideologies) and (advantage of the treaty) and (treating the German mass as a whole). For broad searching, I pick two concepts from my thesis such as Hitler’s ideas and Treaty of Versailles and put them together by adding the word “or”. The Boolean operator worked best for my topic because it had articles that talked a little about all of the keywords I used in the search query. The broad searching didn’t work so well because it focused more on the first concept that I typed in and there was rarely any info on the second concept. I used library databases to find scholarly articles and library catalogs to find books and magazine/newspaper article. To find a website, subject specific encyclopedia and audiovisual source, I use the internet search
World War II was a devastating war where millions of soldiers and civilians died. Adolf Hitler played a huge part in World War II and was one of the major reasons the war happened. Hitler started to take over countries like Austria with little or no resistance. When he later tried to invade Poland, Britain declared war. Even though there was very little fighting at the time Britain declared war. Hitler’s ideas and goals for Germany were what initially caused World War II and later led to the holocaust. His need for more space for Germany led him to start taking over countries and initially started the war with Britain and he wanted a superior Aryan race which is the reason for the Holocaust. Hitler stated the three reasons for starting this war in his Journal Mein Kampf. His goals were to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, make a Greater Germany, and he wanted more living space for his people.
Although both documents express similar ideologies, the documents were written due to different conditions. Hitler’s ideas expressed in “Mein Kampf” evolved from his hatred of Jews and enmity of the German parliament; on the other hand, “Kokutai No Hongi” ideas resulted from the oligarchy’s need to maintain their status and Japanese assimilation of European and American cultures. Hitler provided inspiration and hope to most Germans that were dissatisfied with the government and the aftermath of World War I. The “Cardinal Principles of the National Entity of Japan” pandered to their Samurai heritage and their discontent with West as a result of the Great Depression. The ideas in both documents would persuade any westerner, specifically American and British, to the same extend as it did with Germans and Japanese, to tirelessly support war.
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.
Thesis Statement: As WW1 ended and times got tough the German people were desperate for someone to give them hope. Hitler saw this and took it as his opportunity and manipulated the people with his oratory skills - giving them hope, albeit false. Paragraph One: Hitler became popular among the Germans after WW1 because the German people were desperate and in need of someone who would restore their faith and hope. Hitler saw this and took this opportunity to use them to get into power. He used his oratory, media, and rally skills to manipulate the people into thinking that he was the “hope” and “salvation” they needed.
For 26 years straight, Hitler’s objectives were to gain supreme power and he succeeded, he “had more impact on the history of the world in the 20th century than any other political figure” (Noakes). The rise of Hitler can be explained as the man who created a sense of unit it you in “a nation in deep crisis” (Noakes). These historical events were great contributors to the beginning of a new era. People familiarize these huge chain of events as the origin of World War II (WWII), where Hitler took specific steps to “fulfill his political objectives” (How did Hitler Come to Power?). Hitler’s climb to dictatorship should be displayed in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum because this was the primary source of the Holocaust and WWII.

Have you ever wondered about how hitler’s leadership affected a lot of people in the past in a good way or how significant hitler’s leadership was? Hitler did many great things and out of those successes really good things happened. Hitler’s leadership was significant.

Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party rose to power during the period of time right before and during World War II. Although Hitler caused many injustices and deaths, the Germans still looked up to and admired him. German citizens saw him as a leader who brought nothing but positive changes to their country. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party were appealing to the Germans due to Hitler’s potential of stabilizing Germany’s economy, Hitler’s favorable ideas, and the nationalism Hitler was able to bring about.
By 1933 Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor, head of the German government. He won votes and gained support from “misguided ignoramus for the most part, victims of propaganda.” Hitler used propaganda to help him gain power and support by convincing Germans that his ideas were the right way to go in order to make Germany strong again. Hitler employed propaganda to indoctrinate the masses thought various forms of media. The first form of propaganda that would explain the appeal of Nazism to the people is his book. Hitler used his book “Mein Kampt” (my struggle) to communicate to the
A multitude of different factors contributed to the rise of Fascism within the period of post-World War 1 Germany. As Adolf Hitler was the perpetrator and mastermind behind much of the rise of Fascism in Germany, factors which contributed to his opinions and ideals must obligatorily be looked at in this topic. His failed attempted career in art, the death of his mother, his homelessness in Vienna, his time in prison (in which he wrote Mein Kampf), his time at war at an early age; all of these circumstances contributed to his Fascist ideals, and therefore to the rise of Fascism and the popularity of the Nazi Party. Other incidents unrelated directly to Hitler bestowed extremists much power as people were dissatisfied with the current state of affairs and the republic provided extremists (namely the Nazis, other right-wingers and the Communist Party) with a scapegoat.
In the 20th century, Hitler ruled over Germany with a strong, brutal fascist ideology. His manner of securing power was very much based on fear and manipulation. Compared to Stalin, who gained power through the torture of his own people for his gain, Hitler's ways were much worse, using scare tactics to make people follow him and playing mind games with other countries and their leaders. Also, what he believed about the enemies of his state was extremely based on his own feelings and ideas. In addition, the way he attempted to make his nation great and mighty was very intense and shocking to many.
70 Million. 3%. 6 Years. All these numbers have one thing in common, World War 2. It is horrendous to think that 70 million people’s lives can end in 6 years. Still, this number could be far more drastic had it not been for a number of things. Propaganda was one such thing. It was used to: implementing rations, swaying moods, or even in some cases controlling opinions. This was utilized by both the axis and allied powers throughout the war.
Your response was very well written and I agree with the points you touched upon. If Jesse would have decided to not attend the Olympics then he wouldn't have been put in the position to directly defy Hitler and the Nazi Party's ideals. I also agree that Jesse taking part in the 4x100 was a good decision and that he handled himself well in that situation; especially when he stated that he wouldn't take Marty or Sam's place without their
Propaganda is a way to send a message to people which promotes or publicizes a particular political cause or point of view. Propaganda is used to influence people’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors in the spreading of ideas. The message or idea of propaganda is brought to the people through art, music, posters, radio, books, films, and the press, etc. Also it can persuade someone to believe one side of a subject over another. Propaganda has played a huge role within war, presidency, and social issues.
Adolf Hitler and many more totalitarian leaders used propaganda to make people feel better about their country. This allows people to feel as Nationalistic as the leaders felt about their country. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Government in Germany in the 1930s. He used lots of propaganda to be able to get power, and by using propaganda he got people to believe that there country would go back to the way it was. Document G was written by Alice Hamilton, an American Professor. In this document it talks about Hitler Youth and what they have been learning in school. It states, “The most important subject in the new curriculum is history, with the emphasis laid on German heroes, German inventors, German rulers, poets, artists. The German
There are many ways to manipulate people and many techniques to do so, such as using fear and turning it into guilt, small requests into big requests, and the small things like posters, movies, radios, postage stamps and the press. Many of these techniques are used in something called “Propaganda.” During World War II, many propaganda ideas sparked. The most infamous ideas were created by a political party, the Nazi party led by a ruthless man, in which they attempted genocide.
