Austrian-born in 1889, Adolf Hitler was a combatant of World War I. During the time of peace between World War I and World War II, the peace imposed on Germany antagonized Hitler. Thus, he sought to reverse the peace that humiliated Germany. Using fear and intimidation, Hitler consolidated and maintained his power.
The importance of the information gained here is that it portrays what Hitler did before he gained political power and how he kept it once he obtained it. Prior to Jack’s time in power, he was a hunter, killing for the survival of himself and the group. Likewise, Hitler was a Warfighter before he came into power. Incidentally, both of them used intimidation and fear to keep their power once they got it.
The leader of the National

Hitler's surrender is similar to Jack's surrender to the naval officer. Moreover, the Allies overwhelmed the Axis Powers, forcing Hitler to surrender. Incidentally, Jack did not challenge the naval officer, but it's very improbable that a group of boys would defeat an armed adult. Additionally, it is probable that the naval officer's ship has other crew mates and weapons. At any rate, Jack relinquished his control of the island after his emotions overwhelmed him and the naval officer took him off the …show more content…
Nazism and Jack’s government both have fascist qualities, and both governments discriminate against certain people. Additionally, both were willing to eliminate those who were antonymous to them.
Devised by Anton Drexler, Nazism is a form of fascism based on racism and antisemitism. The philosophy and ideology of Nazism is that Germans are superior to all other races. Additionally, Germany is the only country that has employed Nazism; however, there are groups in other countries that use modified versions of Nazism such as the American Nazi Party, the Arrow Cross Party, etc.
There is great importance in knowing the philosophy of Nazism, the person who created it, other groups that have used it, and the government archetype that it utilizes. Particularly, Jack desired for his faction to be superior to Ralph’s, which relates to the philosophy of Nazism when faction replaces race. Furthermore, Jack’s government is synonymous to a fascist government, controlling all political power and controlling the social and cultural aspects of his subjects, turning them all to savages who follow his orders or face the
Hans Mommsen’s book, From Weimar to Auschwitz, presented an interesting look at Hitler within the Nazi Party. The overriding themes in the chapter “Hitler’s Position in the Nazi System” were the stubbornness and charisma of Hitler and the chaos within the Nazi Party. The weak leadership of Hitler along with the inability to concentrate power to one position helped lead the Third Reich to be a very frenzied and unorganized government.
There were many ways in which Hitler came to power, those main ways being Hitler's persuasiveness, the things he claimed to fix, and when he presented himself. All of these things painted Hitler as a great and patriotic leader. To start, during Hitler's final speech at his trial for treason (document 6) he was able to use German nationalism to not only recover political standing, but he was able to find something for the German population to support him on this thing being bringing down Marxism. Hitler's persuasion in this small part of one speech shows how well he can manipulate a group and how easy it would be for him to get support from the German people. Another way Hitler rose to power was by claiming that he and the Nazi party would fix
According to Fredrich’s “six point syndrome”, a totalitarian state must consist of an official ideology, a single mass party, terroristic police control, monopoly control of the media and arms and central control of the economy. During the Nazi Reich between 1933-1939, under Hitler as Fuhrer (supreme leader), the Nazi regime was able to successfully achieve aspects of totalitarianism by exerting tight control of the media and police; leading to control of certain aspects of German social, political, legal, economical and cultural life. However, there are significant features of the Nazi regime that simply fail to fit Friedrich's six, all encompassing concepts of totalitarianism.
To begin, Adolf Hitler played a key role in World War II because his anger stemmed from his early life. First, Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Branunau Austria (Roberts 8). Hitler was 1 of six other children his mother and father had, but only he and his sister Paula Hitler were the only ones to survive to adulthood (Roberts 6). Second, Hitler was a very intelligent student, but once he changed schools he became very lazy. Hitler loved art and history classes in school, but during other classes he was not interested so he sketched drawings and
Hitler could not have come into power if the German economy had been healthy and strong. There are many reasons that attributed to his rise in the ranks. Strong vocal support, becoming chancellor, touching into the hate buried deep inside the hearts of impoverished Germans everywhere. I think inflation and going out of your comfort zone is what influenced previously wealthy Germans to make Adolf their leader. They wanted luxury, and they wanted revenge.
The leaders' collective instillation of the notion that individuals who resemble Janet are abnormal and should be viewed as outsiders serves as one piece of evidence in favor of this theory. Hitler ruled over individuals in this instance of a dictatorship, and his harsh treatment of them makes the connection to the
When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, he immediately began enforcing an authoritative state. An authoritative state is a state favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. Hitler started a world war to achieve his dream of world domination. The war left behind an estimated 72 million dead, among them 47 million civilians, of whom some six million were Jewish. Jews were the targets of the Holocaust because Hitler hated Jews and blamed them for all of the problems in the world. Throughout the years of the Holocaust, this is seen in many ways, starting from the Nazis having book burnings to get rid of un-German writings proclaiming the death of Jewish intellectualism all the way to the extremity of the mass murder of Jews. This process progressed rapidly, and it had lasting effects for the entire world.
Jack has many parallels with the well-known fascist leader, Adolf Hitler. Both of these leaders used violence, intimidation, and fear to keep their command over everyone. They dehumanized people that displayed any weaknesses, they came into power in similar ways, and lastly, they had a devoted group who did all the dirty work for them. These men were blinded by the passion of being dominant over others, and it had cost many innocent people their lives.
Back in Nazi Germany, during the years 1934-1945, the Führer and Nazis controlled the German population to his will through various methods and means. This e6ssay will discuss and examine how significant oppression was in comparison to other methods of control such as propaganda, indoctrination in youth and the use of political laws. For us to fully comprehend how significant was oppression in the Nazi Germany, we must understand what oppression is.
The Nazi Party’s strength in three main areas allowed it to precipitate the failure of democracy in Germany. Ideologically, structurally and politically the Nazi party was superior to the Weimar Democracy especially in the period 1928-1934. Ideologically, historian Hans Mommson claims the Nazi Party was a “catch all party” in that the party’s nationalistic, socialist and racist policies
The first thing to understand in the psychoanalysis of Nazis is the history and their beliefs through Fascism. Fascism is an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization which was started by Benito Mussolini that was then later adopted by Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party, who created Nazism as the ideology and practice of the Nazis, especially the policy of racist nationalism, national expansion, and state control of the economy as his own national socialism or as Wilhelm Reich called it in his book The Mass Psychology of Fascism, “Führer ideology” (28). Some ideas that helped with the Nazi ideology were attempting to put the
This quote shows how the importance of dictatorial power in a “savage” society. Power is the most important thing when there are no boundaries to society.
When looking into the history of Germany and determining what led to the startling rise in Nazism in Germany and its detrimental effects on the social outcasts in Europe, it can be easy to deduce that the Nazi regime was one where Hitler walked in with his officials and took office by force. The truth is that, while the Nazi party is responsible for the atrocities that occurred before and during WWII, they would have not gotten far if it hadn’t been for the cooperation of the German people themselves. Life in the Third Reich provides proof through voting, youth programs and village life that the Nazi party rose into power with German support.
Nazi Propaganda was devoted to portraying Adolf Hitler as an almighty leader with calmative power with the view of ‘one leader, one party and one ideology’. This image of Hitler was easy to conceive giving the result of the holocaust and the creation of the Nazi state. However, leaving propaganda aside, there have been many historiographical debates as to whether Adolf Hitler was a weak or strong dictator, from Norman Rich claiming he was a master in the Third Reich, to Hans Mommsen who stated Hitler was a weak dictator. This essay will argue that hitler was an almighty dictator by focusing on Hitler as a charismatic leader using evidence of Hitler as a charismatic leader, the structure of the Nazi state and concept of a Volksgeist.
The model of government is important information that was discovered in the source. Nazism and Jack’s government both have fascist qualities, and both governments discriminate against certain people. Additionally, both were willing to eliminate those who were antonymous to them.
