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. To begin, Hitler gained power for his rule in several different ways. For instance, he invaded countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria, gaining a great deal of "lebensraum", or living space, for his people. Additionally, he manipulated many people into following him through his powerful, persuasive speeches. Hitlers speeches started out slow and calm, and rose to a loud, exciting speech, using many hand gestures and emotions throughout, which empowered many of his followers to be increasingly loyal to him.

Though most were unrealistic, not unlike Stalins visions for the future, Hitler believed his way was the best way to make a great nation. As an example, Hitler wrote his book Mein Kampf, which almost all of his people had in their homes as kind of a trophy. The sales of his book made Hitler very rich, however nearly no one read the whole book, which contained a kind of blueprint for Germany's future. Second, he wanted his nation's people to consist of his "perfect" blonde haired, blue eyed Aryan people. In similarity, he thought that by eradicating all Jewish people, disabled people, homosexuals and sick people to name a few, would make room for all of his pure Aryans to live and flourish. However, Hitlers ideas of how to make his nation all powerful didn't end how he
Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
World War I left many people feeling unsatisfied with the outcomes. Adolf Hitler was a German who felt this, and felt this so strongly that he pursued taking power of the German Government to change the Democratic policies. Once Hitler Came to power in 1933, he changed much of the German Government and targeted certain groups of people he felt were inferior, specifically the Jewish population. The events that lead to Hitler taking power can almost seem inexplicable. The years leading to Hitler’s reign were filled with strategies that he knew would help him win over the citizens of Germany.
During the Second World War, Hitler ruled Germany autocratically. If only he had used his power and popularity for good, he would have had much more success. Unfortunately, he did not, Hitler did many horrific things during his rule and negatively influenced many people’s lives. One of the things he caused was called the “Holocaust” This is when Hitler tried to rid Germany of the Jews and create the “Perfect race” (in his eyes) Hitler took over 17 million innocent lives and ruined Germany, tarnishing its name making hitler a loathsome leader.
Hitler had a way with words, he was one of the best public speakers know to date, most said he spoke with such emotion, he was one of the few leaders at the time that could really rally a crowd. He was speaking to masses of people who were economically downtrodden after losing the first world war. People during this era were looking for someone or something to grab hold of, and Hitler appeared to the German people as such a trustworthy and upfront politician, that he became their “Savior.” Thus this horrific man wormed his way into the hearts and minds of an entire nation.
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 came to power with the rise of the Nazi rule . The Nazi rule gave hope to the average German for a change of a better life. Although Hitler was cruel, the Nazi rule had a huge significant impact on the average Germans way of living .
Hitler came to power in 1933 during the Great Depression and the Treaty of Versailles that had ruined Germany’s nation status. Hitler made promises to the people of Germany that he would bring them out of the great depression and improve Germany’s status in the world as German was one of the most effected countries during this period of time due to the Wall Street Crash. Hitler created a totalitarian state, meaning he was the only person in charge of Germany. He made many changes to the way people’s life’s were meant to look like, he did this to create pure blood Germans. Hitler’s ruling brought positive and negative affects on the way the people lived in Germany.
Adolf Hitler served as the dictator over Germany starting in 1934 and ending in 1945. In 1938, there was little doubt that Hitler was popular with the German people, but his success came for multiple reasons. When Germany was defeated in WWI, many Germans were unhappy about their governmental situation. Their democratic parliamentary system was failing, and there was a failure of other right or left winged groups to put up a more unified and effective opposition to Hitler. Besides this, the German people were engrossed with Hitler because of his outspoken nationalism, which appealed to the Germans who were recently defeated. He was charismatic, had an incredible public speaking ability, and self-assurance. Hitler was appealing to both ordinary
Adolf Hitler followed Machiavelli’s words, “I’m not interested in preserving status quo; I want to overthrow it” . Hitler started to become loved when he started to make speeches in beer halls. Hitler began to become feared when he finally gained power in 1933. As he gained power and instilled fear into people, he started to gain his nation’s respect. Following the nazi party being declared the only legal party in Germany, Hitler started killing and would not stop. Not only would he not stop killing people, he started invading other countries instilling fear amongst most countries in Europe.
Hitler believed that the perfect race has blonde hair and blue eyes or in Hitler's term “Aryan Race”. According to Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” written in 1925, Hitler rants about Germans being and must continue to be the better race, “Thus, the highest purpose of folkish state is concern for the preservation of those original racial elements which bestow culture and create the beauty and dignity of a higher mankind”. This quote is saying, that the main purpose of the state is to keep the pure race or Aryan race so that the future of mankind can live on the proper way. Hitler was a big believer that the Aryan race or the Germans were more superior than any other race, he believed that the Germans brought all the good things in the world such as culture and all the beauty that it has to offer. Hitler believed this so much that he used propaganda to indoctrinate the people in Germany and have everyone in Germany also believe that they were a superior race. Hitler’s ideology went so far that he started to blame the Jews for all of Germany's failure, as well believing that Jews were barbaric while Germans were civilized. Hitler as well blamed the Jews for creating Communism, in which in Hitler's eyes he believed that Communism is what also caused Germany’s failures. Hitler believed that the purpose of the state or government was to ensure racial superiority. Hitler also
“In the time of the Great Depression, German people chose to support Hitler because of his powers and his promises he gave to the general public” (Hoffmann). After World War I, Hitler went to control the National Socialist German Workers Party, which he hoped to lead to power in Germany. He developed a growing hatred for Jews and Slavs and like many German-speaking Austrians, Hitler took the role as a fiercely nationalist (“Adolf Hitler”). Adolf Hitler had many significant events in history through his early life, rise to power, and his time as a dictator.
Hitler’s rise to power is due to one thing and that is his skill with words. Simply wielding the correct words of hatred, allowed him to gain control of almost an entire country.
Adolf Hitler’s rise of power saw no objection from the people due to their urgency. The Germans wanted to relive themselves from the disrespect of the Treaty of Versailles. They wanted someone to soothe their fears of inflation and depression. He gave the people the image of a dynamic, authoritarian leader who was determined to rescue Germany and return it to a position of dominance. Within five years he had given his nation stability
Hitler is one of the greatest known dictators in our world's history. He is said to be "the Rousseau, the Mirabeau, the Robespierre and the Napoleon of his revolution; he was its Marx, its Lenin, its Trotsky and its Stalin." He was in fact a mad man, but at the same time a genius. Not only did he convince people to go to war just 20 years after World War 1, he also influenced an entire society to commit genocide on their own people. Hitler's actions may be found very interesting for people who are familiar with his childhood and education. Throughout this time period, he was made to feel inferior by his father and uneducated by his teachers and institutions. Although very little faith and pride was instilled in him as a young child or
After World War I, Germans harbored resentment towards the world. They were angry that power had been taken away from them and now they were limited as to how much they could do. Adolf Hitler uses the public’s feelings to his advantage and is able to gain power this way. Throughout his reign he produced many powerful speeches that were able to attract the masses and ultimately gain himself a following. However, before his rule a man by the name of Hans Litten tried to take him down and show Germany what type of a man he truly was, but because of Germany’s want to become powerful again they disregarded what Litten had to say. This shows just how quickly Hitler was able to come to power. Once in power Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia which later led into the invasion of Poland, according to Cowhurst. The invasion of Poland is what makes the allied powers come together stronger than ever and come up with the idea for the United Nations. Adolf Hitler allowed his pride to cloud his judgement which in turn caused him to fail as a military leader.
