Hitler, a mastermind he was. Born on April 20th, 1889 in Austria, Hitler is proclaimed to be one of the most deceiving people this world has seen. In his early years, Hitler was baptized Catholic. What most see Hitler as today is not what he was in his childhood. At 9 years old, Hitler moved to Linz, still in Austria. At this time, Hitler began to see his future career path in visual arts. His father was not in agreeance with this, and many arguments occurred throughout the years. After his father’s passing and his mother lying on her deathbed, Hitler applied into the Vienna Academy of the Arts. His application was declined. In February of 1907, Hitler moved to Vienna. This comes two months following his mother’s passing. In Vienna, Hitler had two influences in his anti-semitic ideology. Georg von Schönerer was the leader of the movement in German racist nationalism, and this came to be key in Hitler’s beliefs. The mayor of Vienna, Karl Lueger was a promoter of anti-semitism; this gave Hitler something to hold onto and really, a purpose in his eyes.
Following WWI, in the early

1930’s, Hitler developed the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, known as the Nazi party. Partaking in these actions shed hope to the Germans. The depression was in full throttle, embarrassment from losing the war was in full swing, and a stronger Germany was in full faith. In 1932, the Nazi party won 33% of the election, not enough to hit the homerun. After negotiations with the President of Germany, Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in January, 1933. Once Hitler was in power, he moved Germany to strict, and not to mention cruel, dictatorship. Germans lost their right to freedom of speech, assembly, and press. Furthermore, Hitler had to gain manpower to enforce these laws. Money might not buy happiness, but it definitely attracted many unemployed men. An agreement with the Vatican was formed on July 20th, 1933. This agreement allowed Catholics in Germany to practice privately, however, any organization related to Catholic politics or trade unions had to be shutdown. A piece of paper can only go so far. Germany continues persecution of Catholics and the run for the top of the power pyramid continued. Propaganda was a crucial part of Hitler’s Germany. Hitler appointed Dr. Joseph Goebbels to lead the ministry, as it was called. All forms of entertainment, culture, and communication were changed to only support Nazi beliefs. In 1925, Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, was published. This book mentioned his ideal race of humans, called the Aryan race. His idea in this was to have a blond, blue eyed, and tall race. This race enters into his Nazi rule in July of 1933 when the racial purity law is instated. This law stated human reproduction was only allowed to those who fit the race. 400,000 people were directly affected by this law over the next 1½ years. In 1936, Hitler sent troops to France, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.
In the same year, he formed the Axis Powers, which was comprised of Italy, Japan, and Germany. In 1938, Britain & France agreed to let Germany invade parts of Czechoslovakia, but nowhere else. In 1939, Hitler did what he does best, manipulation, and invades the rest of Czechoslovakia and all of Poland. This act caused Britain and France to officially declare war on Germany. Hitler knew it would take time for any British or French act to occur that would truly affect his master plan of world domination. The Poland invasion was one planned for a long time. The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact was a present and future armistice that lasted 10 years for both nations. This was a strategic move on Hitler’s end because he was avoiding a war on two fronts. Unsurprisingly, in 1941 Germany invades the Soviet
Union. The scapegoat against the Jews was strong in Germany. With propaganda in textbooks to newspapers saying how bad Jews were, it was no bewilderment the Germans fell right into the plan. In present time, two acts are known by most who have basic knowledge of WWII. These acts are the, “Night of Broken Glass.” and the Holocaust. The, “Night of Broken Glass,” was on November 9-10, 1938. On this night, Nazi soldiers burned synagogues, pillaged and trashed Jewish stores, and terrorized Jewish hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. On this tragic night, 91 people died. Consequently, the murders of Jews did not stop there. After WWII began, Germany developed concentration camps for Jews. These camps treated these human beings as if they were depletable matter on the Earth. Six million Jews were murdered in these camps by gun, gas, or mistreatment of human life. In the grand scheme, WWII was a dark time in world history. Millions of precious lives were lost. Because of one person’s view, a world changed forever. To Hitler, it was like playing the game Operation. To the rest of the world, it was like playing the game Life. With this in mind, the sentiments of human life cannot be valued, changed, or degraded. A bleak time brought out a strong society that carved the future.
World War II officially got under way in 1939 when the Germans, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland and violated nearly every law placed against them from the Treaty of Versailles. It was nearly impossible for the Germans not to violate the Treaty of Versailles because over 100 of the 140 clauses agreed on were targeted against the Germans. The treaty placed the blame for World War I on Germany, forcing them to pay for nearly the entire war in reparations. This led to a German economic collapse, a change in the government of Germany, and also the start of World War II. When Hitler was put into power he began invading other countries and dwindling down the population of his own country, leading to World War II.
Hitler’s personal drive to expand Germany’s borders across Europe while putting dominance on what he determined to be ‘inferior people’ was the main contributing cause of World War II. In my opinion, All four parts of MAIN were very involved in contributing to the cause of World War II. Hitler used military might to conquer and divide Poland with the Soviet Union. This caused Western allied retaliation towards Germany. He also used military power and intimidation to accomplish his goal of Germany’s expansion. Hitler allied Germany with Italy and Japan by the sharing in the common goal of conquering other nations. Hitler’s imperialist drive continued further in the breaking of his alliance with Stalin. This resulted in sending German forces to conquer the Soviet Union to capture more land for Germany. With Germany, Italy, and Japan, Hitler created an intimidating alliance of imperialist powers that called for an immediate unity of western nations ready for military retaliation. German Imperialism on Europe is the main reason for allied retaliation. Hitler’s nationalist ideas were used as reasons by him to stretch out his land. Out of each part of MAIN, militarism is proven to be the most important contributing cause.
Between the Years of 1933 -1937 Hitler began to take gambles, gambles which paid off, bring a unsuspecting, naive Europe closer and closer to war. In 1933 Hitler ordered the Germany delegates to leave the Geneva disarmament conference with an excuse that Germany was already

The loss of Hitlers younger brother Edmund on the 2nd of February 1900 from the measles changed Hitler in a way never imagined. His teachers told stories about the change of a strong willed and confident young boy who changed into a detached, unfazed, and melodramatic man.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1989, in Braunau-am Inn, located near the Austrian-German border. Hitler dropped out of school at age 16 with the hopes of becoming an artist in Vienna. However, his goal of becoming an artist failed and he spent time in Vienna listening to Karl Laagers ideas, especially his belief in anti-semitism. enlisted in the German Army at the Start of World War One. During this time, Hitler served in the Bavarian Regiment, achieved the rank of Corporal, was primarily a message runner, and narrowly escaped death on several occasions. When Germany surrendered, Hitler was outraged and wanted to keep fighting. In 1919, Hitler joined the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (later to become the Nazi Party) and was in Charge by 1921. In 1923, they attempted to overthrow the German government and Hitler served a 9 month jail term.

It seized Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938 and 1939. Hitler made a pact with Joseph Stalin and invaded Poland in September 1939, launching World War II in Europe. In alliance with Italy and smaller Axis powers, Germany conquered most of Europe by 1940 and threatened Great Britain. Reichskommissariat Took control of conquered areas, and a German administration was established in what was left of Poland. Jews and others deemed undesirable were imprisoned and murdered in Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps.
In 1936 he introduced conscription. This made it obvious he was building a huge strong army most likely to be used in war.

In March 1938 he demanded that Austria should be joined with Germany, this would make Germany stronger and have a bigger population meaning more people could fight. Hitler then went on to ignore the Munich agreement by invading the rest of Czechoslovakia, which broke the
After the First World War that led to death of millions of people, many countries decided to put measures to avoid any future conflict. The League of Nations in the 1920s came up with the idea of collective security where countries acting together would discourage aggression and act to stop the aggressor. This did not work out well as countries failed to agree on common policies. As a result, appeasement was considered. It was a policy that was adopted by the British government in the1930s. It was formulated from the belief that some countries such as Germany were unfairly treated in the Versailles treaty of 1918-1919. Adolf Hitler came into power in Germany on January 1933 after exploiting the depression-afflicted economy and the vehement popular resentment against Versailles treaty. The Nazi leader started by alarming the diplomats on his hatred towards the parliamentary system of governance and democratic government. The policy of appeasement had good intentions, but failed to put measures against aggression by the Germany government, which eventually led to World War 2.
