Explain Why Nazi-Germany Was A Successful Form Of Absolute Monarchy

Absolute monarchy can be defined as “a political theory that encourages rulers to claim complete sovereignty within their territories” (Joshua Cole, 2011). Absolute monarchy allows monarchs to take any form of action they desire without any restriction from laws or constitutions. Usually, in cases of absolute monarchy the monarch is a king, queen, or individual of royal descent. These kings typically rule with mild selfish ambitions and want simple political power and wealth. This form of government was more prominent in earlier centuries of Europe. However, a new, radical, and ruthless form of absolute monarchy arose during the 20th century when Adolf Hitler became the ruler of the Nazi Party, Germany, and several other countries. Nazism
There are several reasons why Nazi-Germany was a successful form of absolute monarchy during this time period, but the biggest factor is owed to its notorious dictator, Adolf Hitler, and his tactics. Hitler is of Austrian descent, but during his twenties he became heavily inspired and involved with anti-Semitism and twisted political views of power. Hitler had a strong prejudice against Jews and any other racial, ethnic, social, or religious group that defied German nationalism. He believed the Aryan race to be the master race, which consists of blonde haired and blue-eyed individuals. In his book, Mein Kampf, he states, “All the human culture, all the results of art, science, and technology that we see before us today, are almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan” (Hitler, 1925). Although, the Nazi Party already incorporated these racial and supremacist views in their group, Hitler advanced these ideas as a dictator and used them
Hitler was cunning in encouraging a whole nation into believing that they are a superior race and must fight and kill any who oppose them. His thinking was unlike the way in which one views the prejudice that African-Americans received during slavery, the civil rights movement, and in the following years of the United States. White supremacists in America during the 19th and 20th centuries believed that they were superior but still lived with African-Americans and other minorities under strong suppression and boundaries, while Hitler wanted to completely wipe out an entire race or any race that was not Aryan. Hitler used other philosophies to advance his own discriminatory views that allowed him to kill millions of Jews. He used the idea of Social Darwinism to support his idea that mixing races would lead to lesser species that were not useful in society. He claims, “No more than Nature desires the mating of weaker with stronger individuals, even less does she desire the blending of a higher with a lower race, since, if she did, her whole work of higher breeding, over perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, night be ruined with one blow” (Hitler, 1925). This tactic took absolute monarchy to a new level because not only did Hitler want control but he wanted a complete utopia of
