This was a man that fought for his country, the country he soon took grasp of and made into an empire like never before. He sought to avail the distraught people of Germany and wanted to leave a mark that would last for generations on end, Adolf Hitler. With the uprise of his ferocious empire, Hitler impacted Nazi Germany politically, economically, militarily, socially and the world with the cause of World War Two. He was the savior for the German people but looked at as a horrid leader by many other powers in the world.
First of all, after World War One, Germany seemed to be in a dreadful state. The rules and regulations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles crushed Germany. “Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty held

With industry revived, Hitler set the target of rearming Germany and giving every German worker a job. To give work to the unemployed , Hitler launched huge public spending schemes. One of the most popular plans created was two and a half thousand miles of the Autobahn routes which would connect major cities in Germany, it increased the efficiency of transportation and the distribution industry of Germany grew significantly. “Hitler had revamped the economy, rid Germany of unemployment, and built the motorways”.3 Along with other industrial and infrastructure plans set into place, Hitler’s empire seemed to be one of the most dominant economies in the world. “Hitler was no ordinary head of government. Above all, one could not ignore his ‘achievements’: ‘order’ had been restored; unemployment was falling rapidly; the economy was picking up strongly; Germany was beginning to stand up for itself again in the world. The record seemed to speak for itself”.4 Hitler ended the subtle days of unemployment and the topic was silenced as Hitler gave his people a chance to build up the Germany they wanted. Hitler’s economic impact was an outstanding …show more content…
His actions are looked back as appalling and horrific, this type of impact Hitler had was immensely brutal and changed the world. One event ordered by Hitler was the Holocaust, a mass killing of the Jewish people by the Nazi regime. The poor Jewish people would be killed in concentration camps where there were gas chambers used to efficiently murder them. This all happened because Hitler believed that the German race was superior and that the Jews were inferior. Along with the Jews there were also people murdered who were Slavs and Gypsies. The most known concentration camp was Auschwitz, the largest death camp created. “Auschwitz, near Kraków, was the largest death camp. Unlike the others, it utilized quick-working hydrogen cyanide for the gassings. The victims of Auschwitz came from all Europe: Norway, France, the Low Countries, Italy, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Greece. A large inmate population, Jewish and non-Jewish, was employed by industry; some prisoners were subjected to medical experiments, particularly sterilizations. Although only Jews and Gypsies were gassed routinely, several hundred thousand other Auschwitz inmates died from starvation, disease, or shooting”.7 This event was a horrific act and really changed the course of history with a mass genocide/racial
Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party, Chancellor of Germany, and leader of Nazi Germany. Hitler was one of the most powerful and notorious dictators of the 20th century. Him invading Poland was one of the main causes of World War two. Eventually Germany was finally defeated in WWII, leaving them financially devastated, and politically unstable.
In late 1923 and early 1924 the German economy seemed to experience a mild period of economic stabilisation and "prosperity". In November, the government issued a new currency and ensured that tight restrictions were imposed. The economy was further stimulated by loans principally from the USA. However despite all this there simultaneously, was increasing numbers of unemployed persons. A well cited example of this is the coal mining industry where the introduction of more efficient machinery meant that one in four miners lost their jobs. No doubt that increased unemployment meant that the German population grew increasingly discontent with the Weimar government and this is the beginnings of the swing towards more radical political voting. Hitler knew that he had to have attractive political policies in order to attract a greater pool of voters, looking for alternative parties, and he recognized a possible solution to this was to attract the attention of the farming and rural community. The Nazi Party took this opportunity quickly and campaigned hard to win over the votes of the farmers and rural workers by promising tax reductions, cheaper electricity and a promise to rebuild the farming industry. "The peasants, the Nazis said, were of true German blood and their life was the true German life. They had shamefully been neglected by the Weimar Republic." Hitler told the people of the land that under a Nazi Government, rural people would be the most important people in Germany. The rural Germans were on the brink of bankruptcy, constituting approximately 11 Billion marks by 1932. The Nazi's promise of a return to rural prosperity was too good for them to resist. Yet this adoption of the rural Germans also proved useful in another sense because it allowed the Nazi party to use the Jewish people as a scapegoat towards the problems faced by the rural Germans.
Various concentration camps were spread throughout Europe and Germany. Around 9000 Nazi work and concentration camps were set up by Hitler’s strong army forces. Of these camps, the most well-known was most definitely the infamous Auschwitz. About 90% of the Jews who were killed in the Holocaust were killed in the gas chambers in Auschwitz. Located ...
Thousands upon thousands of innocent Jews, men, women, and children tortured; over one million people brutally murdered; families ripped apart from the seams, all within Auschwitz, a 40 square kilometer sized concentration camp run by Nazi Germany. Auschwitz is one of the most notorious concentration camps during WWII, where Jews were tortured and killed. Auschwitz was the most extreme concentration camp during World War Two because innumerable amounts of inhumane acts were performed there, over one million people were inexorably massacred, and it was the largest concentration camp of over two thousand across Europe.
Adolf Hitler was a Nazi German Leader who attempted genocide and was part of one of the worst wars, WWII. Hitler took up the role of initiating the Holocaust which ended up In the death of numerous Jews.
After Germany 's loss in World War I, the nation was mortified by the Versailles Treaty, which diminished its prewar regional territory, radically lessened the military, requested the acknowledgment of the blame for the war, and stipulated pay reparations to the united forces. With the German Empire decimated, another parliamentary government called the Weimar Republic was
The signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, marked the end of WW1 and the beginning of severe depression in Germany. The treaty mandated disarmament, heavy reparations, a loss of 15% of German territory, which in turn took 7 million of her citizens, 75% of its iron-ore, its entire Navy, and all merchant men (Siegel 3). The effects of the treaty were devastating, causing severe unemployment (nearly 6 million in Germany) and devaluation of the German mark. Millions lost their life savings and became destitute. Other requirements included "the surrender of goods in vast quantities and the requirement to sign over future commercial opportunities" (Seigel 3). Germany's economy was devastated and Hitler was waiting, hovering in the darkness, to take full advantage of thi...

Auschwitz I was equipped with a gas chamber and crematorium for elimination of small groups. Experiments by Josef Mengele were held at Auschwitz I. One thing that Auschwitz was known for was the labor work. A famou...
After the terrible causes of World War I, Germany was stuck in the ruins. They were still trying to rebuild and recover from the war. The Treaty of Versailles, along with the Great Depression severely affected Germany. The unemployment lines increased, and food was scarce. Money was a huge hassle too, the factories were all closed and the savings were completely wiped out.
Adolf Hitler came to power on February 28, 1933 (Rossel). He rose to power using inflammatory speeches and inspiring hope for the defeated Germans. He constructed a system to empower the German people and allow them to thrive in the period after the Great Depression (Noakes). Using keen acumen and decisive moves, he was able to turn Germany into a war machine bent on the creation of an Aryan utopian society, at the cost of all inferior races, especially the Jews ("The Period between 1933 and 1939"). At this time Germany was a defeated country. They had recently had numerous humiliating defeats in WWI, and the Germans no longer had the pride they once had celebrated (Laurita). Augmented by the fact that the Great Depression had ravaged the country and left many in a state of penury and impoverished, the Germans were desperate. As well, Germany was currently a country without any source of stability without a generally supported constitution. When Hitler promised a utopian society filled with hope and where the Germans would be exalted as the superior race, the Germans listened and obeyed his every word (Noakes). Hitler fed on the desperation and hopelessness of these German people to make a society driven by fear; this state of pity allowed Hitler to convince the Germans that he could provide a better future.
Rastafarianism and Judaism are, two very closely linked religions, that are viewed as a way of life, more than a religion. Both religions, have many similarities in their sacred writings, basic beliefs,and practices and rituals. Despite the fact that they have many resemblances, they also have many distinctions, but it is easy to see the connection in between. Also, Rastafarianism does not go far back in history like Judaism, but they are still related.
Adolf Hitler is known to be one of the “greatest” leaders in history who had abused his powers and had shattered his country apart. Born in 1889 in Austria, Hitler abused his powers because of his greedy ego and because of his narcissism. It all became with Hitler organizing a party called the National Socialist, most popularly know as the Nazi Party. The rise of the Nazi Party was the thing that led to the start of Hitler’s rein and his abuse of power. The Nazi Party eventually led Adolf Hitler to come to rule and had given Hitler the chance to take control the entire nation.
As you can see, Adolf Hitler is one of the most influential figures of the 20th century because he killed millions of Jews trying to perfect humanity through the Holocaust, his reign and military leadership of Germany lead to World War II, and his efforts of world domination influenced history forever. Used brutal methods to wipe out the jews. Used his military power to start WWI. His efforts lead to many changes that still influence our world today. Outcomes from the war still exist today such as the controversy in Israel, the creation of the United Nations, and the awareness towards protecting people’s rights. Hitler’s reign of power in Germany resulted in many horrific incidents; but we used his actions as a way to better our world by preventing people like him from coming into power.
After the First World War were forced to take blame for its happening. They were forced to pay ridiculous amounts in reparations & compensation. All of this being signed in the Treaty Of Versailles; this treaty was intended as a fair and just proposal but ended up in Germany losing billions of dollars to other countries, as well as losing heaps of land, thus crippling their economy. Leaving them weak to any nation or anyone, this was one way that helped Hitler come to power.
Another key factor that played a role in Hitlers rise to power was after World War one as the treaty of Versailles took away Germanys colonies and forced them to pay 33billion dollars, to Britain and France. This debt in return completely bankrupted Germany and economically enslaved the people of Germany. Unemployment and inflation at the time was out of control. Ther German currency lost so much value that people were struggling to buy a simple loaf of bread. The reason the great depression helped Hitler was because he promised the people of Germany that he would rebuild Germany to its former self. He promised jobs which mainly came through the army, this in affect helped Hitler realise one of his other promises which was to take Revenge on those who left Germany crippled after the war. This made him and the Nazis wildly popular in Germany during the 1930s. In just a few short years,...
