Adolf Hitler

“Heil Hitler” was the saying people would shout when they saw Hitler throughout the country of Germany. Throughout my year in school I've studied many different historical figures, but the one person that has a great influence and impact on world history on Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau Am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889. He was a solider during the WWI and during combat he was exposed to dangerous gases which some say might have caused ill side effects. But that just lead him to be a leader, effective speaker, and a political dictator. First of all, Hitler became a leader in 1933. Hitler promised Germany that he will get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, so the Germans could have a better life; he gave the people hope. He believed in himself and in his cause. They did too. Hitler was able to rise to power in 1933 because of his ability to see the desires of the German people and manipulate them to do his will by offering them salvation. His powerful personality and brilliance as a speaker helped him as a leader. Furthermore, Hitler was a very persuasive speaker, and had the ‘intelligence’ to take over a people who were so desperate and in such a poor economic situation, that his words brainwashed them. His gift of talking and convincing the population at that time when they were a down- and- out country, gave him this incredible advantage over the people of Germany. People were starving, out of work, and what Hitler offered them was relief from the famine and poverty they were so brutally suffering from. It seems that this 'demon of a man' just seemed to open the door of opportunity when Germany was at its lowest. His strong and powerful voice and words of a brighter future for Germany clouded the most logical man's mind with thoughts of power and pure and deep nationalism. Lastly, was being a superior speaker lead Adolf Hitler to be a political

    The first way Hitler rose to power was because people were desperate. People were desperate to get out of the Great Depression, which was terrible for Germany. They were also desperate to blame somebody or a group of people for their loss in the war and all of their current problems. Hitler blamed the Jews for signing the Treaty of Versailles, which made Germany lose lots of its land, accept the war guilt, and pay the war reparations. Because the people of Germany were desperate, they accepted the lie that the Jewish people had caused their loss and caused their depression. For example, in 1930, Hitler and his radical views become increasingly popular (timeline notes).…

    Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau Am Inn, Austria, in April 1889. He grew up as a resentful, discontented, moody young man with an unstable temperament and very hostile to his father. Hitler left home at sixteen with the hope of becoming a painter, did not make much progress in his career but developed a pathological hatred for the Jews and Maxists, Liberalism and the cosmopolitan Hashburg monarchy. He later moved to Vienna where he indulged in grandiose dreams of a greater Germany, acquired his first education in politics where he grasped the stereotyped, obsessive anti-Semitism with its barbaric implications and concern with “the purity of blood.” Adolf Hitler then progressed to Munich, obtained his German citizenship and used his oratory talents and propaganda; to ascend the political ladder to the position of Chancellor and Leader of Germany.

    Hitler’s ability to rise up as a dictator and take control of Germany can be linked back to long term causes. These long term causes allowed Hitler certain advantages which he would then go on to exploit and manipulate such as The Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles would contribute to Hitler’s plan to rule. The Treaty had left Germany as an economy and country as a whole undoubtedly weak and vulnerable. Not only had it affected the economy and country, it had also affected the people of Germany. The Germans were furious with the terms and conditions of the Treaty, they particularly resented the guilt clause that they were made to sign which stated that the war was Germanys fault. The Germans felt defeated and without hope. Hitler preyed on the opinions of hatred for the Treaty of Versailles and manipulated this to his advantage. He was able to increase German support for the Nazi party, by including in his foreign policy the proposal to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles. This meant Hitler was able to succeed in turning the Germans bitterness for the Treaty into more votes for the Nazi party, propelling Hitler’s popularity. After the Treaty of Versailles more people were open to the idea of having a stronger government. Many were more compelled to look to parties with more radical views, such as Hitler and the Nazi party in order to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, which so many had loathed.…
