The Tragedy of Germany can be viewed as a turning point in history for all cultures. From this tragedy we learned much about racism and the horrors than can come from other races thinking they are better than the other and what evil it can lead to. Hitler is in the middle of this tragedy and what he did to the world that caused million in deaths is still what shocks readers as they learn just what history contains from this horrible era. As gruesome as some details are to what he did to others, he was still quite a canny and impertinent leader. He accomplished things in his life that lead to him being the leader of the Nazi party and Chancellor as well. “Hitler as an adept young Austrian boy dropped out of High School, wanting to become an artist. He failed to gain entrance into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts” (Fredriksen, 2016). While in Vienna, Hitler was known to have become Semitic according to the article “World War II”. (2008) Hitler Left Austria and enlisted in the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment. After four years he won his German citizenship by winning the prestigious Iron Cross, as well as four other medals for bravery. (Fredriksen, 2016). It was at this time in Hitler’s lifetime states Fredriksen who wrote the biography “Adolf Hitler” that Hitler was given a rank of Corporal in the German Army in 1919. Fredriksen also tells us in his biography that “Hitler joined the German worker’s party, which he later helped expand into the National Socialist German
After Germany lost World War I, it was in a national state of humiliation. Their economy was in the drain, and they had their hands full paying for the reparations from the war. Then a man named Adolf Hitler rose to the position of Chancellor and realized his potential to inspire people to follow. Hitler promised the people of Germany a new age; an age of prosperity with the country back as a superpower in Europe. Hitler had a vision, and this vision was that not only the country be dominant in a political sense, but that his ‘perfect race’, the ‘Aryans,’ would be dominant in a cultural sense. His steps to achieving his goal came in the form of the Holocaust. The most well known victims of the Holocaust were of course, the Jews.
Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,
While Hitler was a young lad just out of the army he was desperate for work. On his hunt for jobs he stumbled across the German Workers Party and discovered he believed with their radical beliefs. One, of these many radical beliefs was that the reason for Germany's loss in WWI was that it was the Jews fault. To punish the Jews Hitler created concentration camps to torture and murder the Jewish population. Finally he began to use his Nazi army to take over places like poland and eventually the majority of Europe. What Adolf Hitler did to world will never be forgotten or forgiven, nor should it
Hitler was born in April 20, 1889 in Braunau, Austria. His father was a customs official and didn’t have a good relationship with him because he didn’t approve of his passion for art, which led Hitler to dislike him. His father died when he was only 14 years old and his mother, whom he loved very much, died from cancer when he was 18 years old. He dropped out of High school at the age of 15. He then moved to Vienna to pursue his dream of becoming an artist at the Vienna Academy of Art, but was rejected because he didn’t graduate school. He was very poor and in order to survive he painted postcards, shoveled snow and even became a builder’s laborer to name a few. It was in Vienna where he grew hatred for foreigners and Jews. In 1914 he moved to Munich and when WWI was announced he immediately joined the German army. He was recruited to be a regimental runner it was a dangerous job because he was always in the way of cross fire. He was a good
When WWI broke out, Adolf Hitler, Then in his mid 20's, hoped to join the army to fight. Being rejected for the Austrian Army Hitler was delighted because he wanted to be a German. He wrote to the King of a large State in Southern Germany and later was assigned to the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment which was composed of student volunteers. Hitler was wounded several times throughout the war and at the end of the was his rank was Lance Corporal.
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.
There are 440 clauses total in the Treaty of Versailles; the first Twenty Six are for The League of Nations, the other 414 are Germany’s punishment. Because German was left without any support due to these punishments, the country’s economy plummeted, the population starved, and the infrastructure failed catastrophically. Although Germany committed various war crimes deserving of chastisement, the punishment given to Germany was unjust and paved the way to the second world war.
Adolf Hitler had a major impact on Europe and the rest of the world. His dictatorship led to the deaths of millions of people who he believed were not “pure.” Hitler is still remembered today as one of the worst to set foot on Earth. However, Hitler still has an evil impact on people today. Some people still believe that his ideas were supreme and that all people should be forced to live under his beliefs and
In the year 1939, Germany invaded Poland, marking many historians’ accounts of the true beginning of World War II. During this, it became known that Germany was taking a major role in the Holocaust, the mass killing of Jewish people. It was a brutal killing of men, women and children who were treated like they were nothing. In this essay will tell you the facts about the mass killings and how they were done. It is disturbing to think that some people choose to believe that the Holocaust never happened and was a made up event. However, research, artifacts, pictures, and survivors are able to prove that this horrid event really did happen.
Many know Adolf Hitler as Hitler. Some consider him an honerableman with great intentions for the world, but most consider him a selfish, controlling man with too much power. He was leader of the large Nazi Party and blamed the Germany’s economic problems on the minorities: mainly the Jews. If economic problems were blamed on anyone else, history would have completely changed. One man 's decision to punish a whole race led to war, cruelty, despair, and death. Religion is one of the largest categories in our society, and Jewish people are people who believe certain things based on their religious traditions. Adolf began to build an “Aryan master race,” whose people had to be Caucasian, have blue eyes, and have blonde hair. Hitler wanted the master race to rule the world and one day take over the Jews and minority groups by attacking them.
In the years leading up to World War II, Germany was one of the most powerful countries in the world. Though physically small, the country gained power through a unifying force in 1933: the Nazi Party. It did not long for the Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, to establish control over all of Germany. Before Hitler, the economy was so bad and the citizens were so unhappy that they were desperate for anyone who would improve their situation. Hitler became the perfect candidate when he promised them tax breaks and new social benefits. Of course, Hitler is now considered to be one of the most evil human beings to ever live, setting up concentration camps that starved, abused, and killed an estimated six million Jews.
Adolf Hitler was a very impressive man in some people’s eyes, but his life took one major roller coaster before he gained the power that he had. As a young child Hitler seemed to not want to join the military, but once he, did he found a path leading to his future. Hitler worked his way through the war and seemed to start gaining power. Once Hitler was at the top, he started to terminate people by sending them to concentration camps scattered around the country, quickly killing thousands. Hitler’s great power, massive number of soldiers, and unwillingly hate for the Jewish race, caused one of the biggest world crisis’s throughout the world war’s. The people of Poland and many surrounding countries seemed scared of Hitler’s great power, but
It is hard to believe that a war-torn country such as Germany can flourish into Europe’s largest economy. What is even harder to believe is that it had achieved this feat in a significantly shorter time than other European nations. Germany had experienced devastating losses in both World War 1 and World War 2. The combinational blows of Germany’s countless number of war casualties, the irrational reparation payments and the following hyperinflation had crippled the German industry. Despite this, German industry had managed to miraculously emerge at the top of the European economy. The outcome of war was the key reason why Germany is as economically prosperous as it is today
The Time of Crisis had a greater impact on Germany than the Great Depression did because it caused several more deaths, and it kind of actually led to the Great Depression and Hitler. The Time of Crisis occurred during 1919-1923. The Time of Crisis caused unemployment, people to lose their homes, starvation, loss of life savings, revolts/rebellions, and hyperinflation which caused people to make money. In the Time of Crisis, the German states had way too much power. The army was not fully under control of the government and several government officials were on the right wing side (there is a left wing, middle, and right wing) and they yearned to destroy the government. The left wing side violated rights, and used excessive force (pure communism, Fascism, Socialism). The middle violated rights, had a degree of force, and used modern liberalism. The right wing had rights, respect, no force, and capitalism.
After the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, in 1915, Hitler enlisted in the Bavarian army because of his new found nationalistic attitudes. In less than two months of training, Hitler and his squad saw their first action. Hitler narowly escaped death several times in battle, and was twice awarded the iron cross for bravery. In both October 1916 and October 1918, Hitler was injured in battle by a gun shot wound and mustard gas. Hitler rose to lance corporal before his last injury and the war's end.
