A well-structured government is one where the people have a say, one where everyone’s rights were protected. Through our Constitution and Bill of Rights the United States is a federal republic. A government where only one person is in power, a dictatorship, is a dangerous government. An example of a dictatorship would be Adolf Hitler. After becoming the leader of the Nazi party Hitler aimed to gain power over all of Germany. Hitler gained public support to the Nazi party by promising wonderful changes if he was elected. Paul von Hindenburg eventually appointed him Chancellor. He rose and manipulated people into electing him and soon after the death of Hindenburg; Hitler became the fuhrer. Hitler had power over all of Germany and his word was the law. Germany was controlled by a dictatorship. Germany didn’t have any freedom under the rule of Hitler. Thanks to the Bill of Rights we are protected with freedom and liberty. There are limits made to our government to protect us. Natural human rights are something everyone should be entitled to, any form of government that has too much power and control over the people is not a just government. Once Hitler took power he made sure to take down his enemies by arresting Socialists, Communist, trade union leaders and others against the Nazi party, some of these people were even murdered. In 1933 the first concentration camp for political prisoners was made. These political people were attacked because they were opponents to Hitler
In order to gain full control of the country they had to remove or eliminate their political rivals. Hitler used excuses to blame and imprison his political rivals. One good example would be when he used the Reichstag fire as an excuse to imprison many communist leaders, which stopped them from campaigning during the election so that he could win more seats and power. He also used fear and terror by creating a group known as S.S or Black
Throughout Nazi Germany in the period 1928 through to 1941, racism was utilized by Hitler, and in turn his Nazi party, firstly to secure Hitler’s position as a dictator, and secondly to unite the German people against a common enemy, which would lead to a united powerful state, ready and able to exert its national will. Whether or not his aims were oppressive in nature is debatable but, his aims for racial purification and domination over Eastern Europe are made obvious before Hitler’s assumption of power, primarily in the racist crude writings of Mein Kampf, and even from Moellers Des drittes Reich from the 1920s. It can be said, therefore, though Hitler may not have been successful in achieving an oppressive state, he may certainly have desired it. Constantly, it is made obvious, through his use of racism in both Domestic and foreign policy that Hitler’s ultimate aim, was total power, both for himself and his master race - the Volksgeminschaft. Hitler 's use of racism is continually evident from the beginning of his comings to power, through till his attack on the Soviet Union in June of 1941. Racism, was initially used by Hitler to identify his sympathizers, and most predominant to unite the German people again public internal enemy number one - The Jews. Anti-semitism, anti-communism and attacks on several other minority groups ranging from slaves to democrats, provided Hitler with the Stab in the back theory post World War One, and provides and excuse for defeat with
A horrid event known as The Holocaust took place in 20th century Germany. It all began when Adolph Hitler was appointed as chancellor of Germany on January 30th, 1933. Soon after, Hitler gained a numerous amount of followers and rapidly developed his Nazi Germany. Led by visions of racial purity and spatial expansion, the Nazis mainly targeted Jews. In addition, Nazis also targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and disabled people along with anyone who resisted them. This tragic event lasted a total of 12 years.
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.
Upon the rise of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazi Party) in Germany, homosexuals, were one of the various groups targeted by the Nazis and were ultimately among the Holocaust victims. Commencing in the early rule of Hitler, homosexual organizations were expelled, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were destroyed, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were detained or executed. The Gestapo assembled lists of homosexuals in Germany, who were obliged to sexually obey or conform to the "German norm or expectations." This is evident in direct reference to the memoirs of Pierre Seel and the atrocious suffering he endured due to his sexuality in Nazi Germany. “I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror” provides historians with an insight into the Nazi regime and the miseries endured by the minorities of that time. This response will consider the context, content and importance of these texts, as well as the difficulties that it poses as a primary source to historians.
In 1914, a war began that would turn into one of the deadliest combats in all of human history. A war that was fought between two alliances named the Triple Entente, consisting of Russia, France and Great Britain, and the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. One of the reasons the war was so deadly was because many of the commanders and generals did not develop the tactics at the rate at which the weapons had progressed. Artillery and Machine Guns would decimate anyone who came over the edge of a trench, leading to millions of deaths. The old style of face-to-face trading fire combat had become obsolete due to the invention of the automatic and semi-automatic weapon. A single gun could now kill or injure
Although Berlin commanded that the operation was to be continued as planned, Best had one more card to play. In a meeting between Best, Mildner, and the plenipotentiary’s deputy and old friend, SS-Brigadeführer Paul Kanstein, who would later be involved in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler as the would-be new head of the German security police, it was decided that a warning should be issued to the Jewish community. This warning would be “leaked” by Best’s confidant, Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz.
Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold, Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill.
Adolf Hitler joined the Nazi party in 1920. The large Nazi party wanted to unite as one nation and form a strong central government. Soon later in 1930, a depression had hit Germany and the entire nation. Hitler promised to get rid of Jewish people and communists throughout many speeches during the depression. People in Germany were in need of a leader and needed someone that could help them out of the rough times. Many people in Germany believed in Hitler and trusted him. As soon as Von Hindenburg, the leader of Germany, died in 1934, Hitler had full control over Germany. First, Hitler began to enforce strict laws on the Jewish people. Then Hitler began to move Jewish people to what are called Ghettos. Ghettos were small communities that fenced all the Jews inside. People thought they were on some sort of vacation and that the Nazis were keeping them safe from the nearby war. The Ghettos were buildings with small apartments inside. Families were very crammed and had to give up any gold or valuables. There was
In the 20th century there are so many different events that happened during this time. One of the most major events that effected the world is World War II. It is an event that will never be forgotten because of how many different countries were involved and how it affected the Jews as well. During the war, the United States started to put up posters to get people to join the army and there were other countries that convinced the people to invest money into the war. Without the propaganda and the use of artwork on posters and flyers that they used to influence people in the U.S. they may have never won the war.
The Nazis, who came to power with the leader Adolf Hitler in Germany in January 1933, believed in a radical “genetic” restricting of society where ethnic cleansing of Jews was the main priority. Nazi regime wanted to make German Aryan race “superior” and the Jews were considered “inferior” within German racial community. The Holocaust was state-sponsored organized oppression and homicide of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups, and the process involved, the sterilization of those thought to be social misfits, the killing of the disabled, homosexuals and Roma, the enslaving of Slavs and the selective dispensing of welfare according to interpretations of “genetic worth” (Finaldi, 96). After Nazis took over the government in Germany, their National Socialist government established concentration camps for their political opponents. However, before the outbreak of war, Nazi officials started using these camps for incarceration of Jews, and other victims of racial and ethnic hatred. Millions of innocent people were murdered just because of their ethnic or racial differences, however, thousands were lucky enough to survive from Nazi tyranny.
Seeing all the flaws in other people, Hitler persecuted more than 6 million people in total during his dictatorship. Most of the people innocent and having nothing to do with why he was angry at the world. Hitler saw all the things he believed had hurt the nation and he said that if another world war were to begin that it would end with the elimination of Jews in Europe. He used the Jews as a scapegoat to why there was an economic crisis and to why Germany had lost World War 1. Although Hitler had standards he wanted the people to have and live by, he often didn’t follow them himself.
Carl Schmitt argues that the role of myth plays an essential role in politics and that nationalism, in any confrontation, will win over socialism. Schmitt’s argument can be used to justify the events that occurred in Germany during the late 20s and early 30s. However, even though nationalism did play a key role in post-hyperinflation Germany, it is far too simplistic to say that the only motive of such events was nationalism. Events like the Beer hall putsch or the growth and success of the Nazi party were not solely because of nationalism. There were other factors that contributed to these events such as the fact that Germany was in a terrible situation to begin with. Germany was in chaos after WW1, and when the Great Depression followed, unemployment, inflation and food shortage increased even more. Such events led to the growth of the Nazi party as Germans felt like Hitler represented what many of them felt-- hatred of the republic. The Nazi party rose significatively because of their usage of propaganda, their anti-Semitism, their violence, their hatred of the Weimar republic and also because of opportunism.
The First World War left massive destructions in the world since many people lost their lives and even property. These massive destructions were as partly as a result of the introduction of new war weapons, for example, machine guns and gas warfare. This war was majorly between Germany and the Allied power but Germany was blamed for the destructions that came about because they are said to have initiated the war (Kissinger, 2014). These destructions made people have a lot of fear towards any kind of war and nobody wished for any war to start again because people feared losing lives and property once again. It is said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Western Front particularly lost their lives in this war.
What the source is communicating about the role of government is teaching the youth about the Nazi principle. The Hitler Youth group were to Hitler and the Nazi Party the future of Germany. The Nazi youth groups were used as propagandists, reinforcements, and warriors. There wasn’t enough military and secret police to control all the Germany people, so they used them. What the source shows that Hitler has impacted others and has set out roles for her citizens so that they would become what he wanted them too. Hitler’s role was to get as many supporters as he could and get the young to start learning about the things he believed was right. hitler wanted to be as powerful as he could to create a good government and a good country for him and
