A total of around 60 million people died in WW2 over 45 million of them innocent civilians. All of these deaths were caused by one man Adolf Hitler (Research Starters). In this research paper one would learn about Adolf Hitler beginning with how he rose to power, what he did while he ruled Germany, and how his power was lost.
The first topic in this research paper will be Hitler’s rise to power. Hitler's first attempt to take power was in Munich Germany. This did not work out so well for him as he was thrown in prison for treason (McGill). His attempt in Munich almost ended his political career because usually the government does not like it when someone tries to overthrow the government (Mendum). Eventually Hitler actually succeeded in gaining

The night of the long knives was the first act that Hitler used to gain majority. On this night he killed off all the political opposition in his party (Mendum). Also on this night anyone that he had a grudge against or did not particularly like, he also killed them (“Night of the”). To gain more loyalty from the SS he killed off his former army. The SS is his secret service as well as his very elite level army that took the place of his old army (Mendum). Once Hitler had power he had lots of power and didn't know how to use …show more content…

Hitler used this to his advantage; especially when he ran for president and gained power,
Have you ever wondered how Hitler came to power? Have you ever wondered why people would join Hitler? Hitler’s leadership was successful because he started out as a Gefreiter, or Lance Corporal, in the Bavarian army during World War 1. In this piece, I will talk about Hitler’s rise up to take over Germany, how he expanded his reign out further to other countries, and how Hitler
Leah Griffin 3/6/15 HIST 121 Document Analysis Paper World War I played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. After the devastating war, Germany was viewed as the main instigator and the European Allied Powers decided to impose strict treaty obligations upon Germany. This treaty, also known as the Treaty of Versailles, was signed by Germany and went into effect in June 1919 (“Treaty of Versailles, 1919” 1). The treaty forced Germany to give up the land it seized from multiple countries during the war and also forced Germany to recognize the independence of several others (“The Treaty of Versailles – 1919” 37-43). The treaty also forced Germany to agree to many other humiliating terms that did not rest easy with the German public

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.
Adolf Hitler is one of the most notorious villains in all of history for his unspeakable crimes against humanity, but how he came to be so powerful is not often known. He effectively attained utmost power through both self-activation, and his ability to acclimate to the social conditions posed in Germany at this time. Hitler rose to sovereignty on the strength of his personality and vision, and through a tactic called coercive power. His followers swore allegiance to him and no one else. Adolf Hitler used the weakness of Germany’s socioeconomic status, resentment felt by most German inhabitants towards their governments’ choices and actions, and the incompetence of The Weimar Government to aid his accession.
World War II was one of the largest loses of human life in present day history, with an estimated of around “fifty million casualties.” This wasn’t limited to military personal, but also civilian life, which helped distinguish this war of pervious conflicts. The amount of civilian causalities was unlike anything the world has ever seen. Targeting of cities center by bombers was common but the high death toll had another sinister reason. (Kishlansky, Geary & O'Brien 650) The Nazis and Soviets had come to use concentration camps and genocide as a way to exert their control over their population and foreign lands. The camps, where the inhabitants were treated as feral animals, were forced to work as slaves in back breaking labor. The Nazis generally
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
In the following investigation, the following question will be addressed: In what ways did economic and political issues in Germany between 1922 and 1932 contribute to Hitler's rise to power? The scope of my research will fall between the years of 1922-1932, the start of Hitler’s attempt to run for office. A variety of primary and secondary sources will be used to answer the question. The bitterness caused upon the change of government systems in Germany will be analyzed, along with his childhood that all primarily drove Hitler to run for power. Then, the harsh effects World War I had on Germany along with the Great Depression that followed as a result will also be looked at. Finally, a conclusion will be reached.
Hitler’s reign to power and World War II caused suffering and death to many innocent lives. In the early 1930s, Germany’s economy fell into a depression where millions lost their jobs because of World War I. When Hitler and the Nazi party came to power, they promised to fix Germany’s and blamed the Jews for most of them. The Nazis targeted them and other people like gypsies and took them to concentration camps where many suffered and died. Driving steadily towards war, Germany caused tensions to rise with Britain and France and later on World War II started. By 1645, Hitler’s Final Solution has killed 48 million people worldwide.
For my final paper I will be using all of the data and information I have collected about making my argument upon why the Germans were so oblivious. I will be talking about the events that occurred between 1933 and 1943. I will be summarizing how these specific events led to the rise of Hitler’s power and the Holocaust. I will summarize how these events affected people back then and how it has affected people today.
Another way Adolf Hitler became so powerful is that he got more people to join him during the great depression. According to the book “The Weimar Republic. New York: Routledge.” by Kolb, Eberhard (1988) [1984] “The Great Depression
Nicholas Alexander Sugianto Darren Carter English 7.3 24 February 2016 World War 2 World War 2 was the war that involved every part of the world during the years 1939-1945.The World War 2 was the greatest war in history that made about 40,000,000-50,000,000 deaths. The main power was German, Italy and Japan, France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and China. Along with World War 1, World War 2 was one of the greatest war in history and it will never be forgotten, it resulted in more power for the Soviet Union’s power to nation of Eastern Europe, makes a communist movement to eventually achieve power in China, and made the decisive shift of
Hitler 's rise to power was greatly facilitated by his social mind with a theoretically high IQ of around 150 in the top 0.1% of everyone in the world. This large amount of intelligence can help him out think and keep himself one step ahead of everyone near him keeping his plans in clear site without the anyone the wiser. Hitler used two major skills to get power: persuasive rhetoric and cleverly worded statements to cover lies and a fake reality for his citizens. He constantly capitalized on anything that would benefit his cause like the great unemployment rates across Germany and recruited many unsuspecting people for his bidding.
From January of 1933 to April of 1945, Adolf Hitler ruled over the German people and became known as one of the most notorious dictators the world has ever seen. Several studies done by scholars and historians show that Hitler “displayed substantial initiative, toughness of mind, self-confidence, and ruthlessness” (Housden 188). Using coercion techniques and his understanding of the human psyche, Hitler was able to bully and lie to his European neighbors in order to achieve his objectives. He fooled nations into believing his “peaceful” intentions, but his mission for World War II came to an ultimate failure leading to his suicide in April of 1945 (Housden 200). Adolf Hitler faced eventual failure as a military leader as a result of his misunderstandings of the “rules” of warfare. Hitler’s lack of experience and his inadequate knowledge of warfare were two of the key points that proved to be fatal.
