It was through this fear that the Nazis converted their fear to anger and took full power. Hitler promised many things including persecuting those who weren’t proper Germans and to seize land. (Acrobatiq, 2017) Invasion of Poland In 1939 the country of Poland was threated and Britain and France offered to protect Poland. Hitler did not believe they would follow through in defending so he invaded and eliminated Poland France and Britain then declared war on Germany and enlisted help from multiple countries including the United States.

Once in power Hitler quickly established himself as dictator. He started hauling off thousands of anti-Nazis to concentration camps. The economy, the media, and all cultural activities were brought under Nazi authority by making an individual’s livelihood dependent on their political loyalty. His desire was to establish German rule over Europe and other parts of the world. He realized that this would lead to a European conflict and so he started his plan to conquer Europe by invading Poland in 1939 and started World War ll . The war started off good for the Germans but once the United States entered the war they started to lose. As time passed, defeat became more certain, but Hitler refused to give up. Finally with all of Germany overrun by Allied
Benito Mussolini which was born in 1883 and died in 1945. He came to power with his new ideas in 1919, called Fascio di Combat, which is also known as Fascism.
Mussolini (1883-1945) - Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922-1943. Wanted to recreate the Roman Empire.
Hitler and Mussolini looked upon the new form of government, which was Totalitarianism. This form of government means there is only one leader to make decisions and thus they killed or jailed all opponents. Mussolini and Hitler used this form of government after World War One
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party used nationalism to great effect in Germany that spured the Second World World. After WWI, many Germans blamed the new government for accepting the unfair treaty as conditions became miserable. People who could not find jobs began to drift into the Communist and National Socialist parties established by Hitler. They decided that it was the necessary solution. In 1933, Hitler came to power as dictator of Germany and preached a racist brand of fascism. He promised to end the humiliating conditions caused by the German defeat in WWI. He knew how to win people's obedience and trust, through their fears and insecurities. He almost immediately got Germany back into the factories and began secretly building up army and weapons. His real motives were to expand German territory and dominate Europe and the whole world that became the prelude to another war.
The problems in Germany Japan and Italy during the 1920s led many different groups to try to gain political power. At times there were riots in the streets among the supporters of different political parties.Both Adolf Hitler in Germany and Benito Mussolini in Italy believed in the political system called fascism. In a fascist government system, total power is given to a dictator. Individual rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press are denied. The nation and its power are what counts, not the life of the individual.
In 1933, when Adolf Hitler rose to power he set out to have world domination and to have the whole world fall under his control. He thought that he would be creating the Third Reich that would last a thousand years. And on September 1, 1939 he invaded Poland and was about to conquer the rest of Europe and have them fall to his feet and he made sure Germans had enough living space and make sure that the entire German race was taken care of. But Hitler couldn 't do it alone, he needed the help of the SS and Gestapo. Which had more power than modern military forces.
Mussolini and Hitler both had the same views on who should rule a government. They believed that only the strong are fit for this
Hitler realized that the French and British Leaders were scared of his power and also of war. Hitler needed more living space for the German people and he thought of taking over Poland. Hitler began planning the invasion of Poland. After World War I, Poland's army was relatively weak and ill-equipped compared to Germany. To aid in its defense, Poland had formed military alliances with Great Britain and France. Massing their armies along the Polish border, the Germans staged a fake Polish attack on August 31, 1939. Using this as a pretext for war, German forces flooded across the border the next day. On September 3, Great Britain and France issued a warning to Germany to end the fighting. When no reply was received, both nations declared war. Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland before World War 2 but then from 1939 and June 1941 the German army invaded and occupied many countries like Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg,France, Denmark,Yugoslavia, Greece, Norway and Western Poland. In Source C (The cartoon from October 1938 by Low) shows a picture of Hitler as Santa popping every European country into his sack which means Germany over all and also Hitler realized that nobody could stop
Hitler from the start of his chancellorship, on the 31st of January 1933, knew that if he wanted to make Germany strong again he would have to be prepared to go to war. In 1933 he began the secret equipment of the German army, so he came public with this plan in 1935. Also the economic distress in Weimar Germany and by having their ‘brown shirts’, the Nazis became a governmental force. On January 30 1933, Hitler was placed in a position take power when he was appointed Reich president by President Paul von Hindenburg. Although Britain and France were aware of Hitler’s plans, they were probably more concerned about the rise of socialism and believed that a stronger Germany might help to prevent the spread the socialism to the western side. In this paragraph I have explained how evil Hitler was involved in causing World War 2, the plans he had and the fear of socialism was going to be stop by a strong Germany.
Germany needed living space so the only way to acquire it was for Hitler to take land from the various European countries that were in close proximity to Germany. In 1939, Germany would take all Czechoslovakia and then would begin to set its sights on Poland. After the Soviet Union had been neutralized Hitler proceeded ahead with his invasion of Poland on September 1st 1939, then two days later England and France declared war on Germany. In 1940 the German war machine was well on its way in terms of conquering land so multiple countries fell to Nazi power including France. Then the Battle of Britain began and the US provided wartime supplies to England.
Hitler took advantage of the situation and rose to power in 1933 on a promise to destroy the treaty of Versailles that stripped Germany of land. Hitler organized the Gestapo as the only executive branch and secret terror organization of the nazi police system. In 1935, he made the Nuremberg laws that forbid Germans to marry or commerce with them. Hitler thought that the Jews were nationless parasite and were directly related to the treaty of Versailles. When Hitler began his move to conquer Europe, he promised that no Jewish person would live.
Dictatorship throughout the ages has mainly led to oppression and conflict between people and government. Some of the notoriously bad dictators took office around the 1920’s and 1930’s. There were three main dictators in that time period and they all ran different countries in very different ways. Josef Stalin was known as the dictator of the Soviet Union, he was all about communism and did not care if there was opposition to his ideas. On the other hand, Benito Mussolini was in charge of Italy and all about fascism. Possibly the worst known dictator of all times was Hitler, in charge of, Germany, he was all about Nazism. Each had a different outlook on ruling, but they all did things similarly to lead to nations hatred against them. Basically, their ultimate goal was to do what was best for their countries, however, there want for power tended to get in the way. They all wanted to accomplish many things, they used many different ideas and ways to run their nations. They were all blamed for their nations demise in one way or another. This essay will discuss the similarities and differences between Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.
Germany decided to invade Poland when World War II. The Nazis made the Polish Jews into restricted ghettos and forced them into slave labor. Hitler also was the head of a group that led them to the murder of the mentally and physically disabled in Germany and Austria. In 1940 the Nazis began to deport the German Jews to Poland. They also began the first mass murder of Jews at Treblinka.
Some nations had many strong nationalist feelings and that led to an eagerness to expand which contributed to invading countries. Hitler had many desires of wanting to expand and gain more territory. Hitler started World War II by invading Poland in 1939, the German forces had raided Poland on foot and in air. Hitler had looked to regain lost land and fully gain rule of Poland. Three days after the invasion of Poland, Great Britain had sent Bombing Raids on Germany as a response.
