HITLER
Introduction
My topic is about Adolph Hitler, the Holocaust and how he lead his country into war. Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. As a small child he loved to paint. His love lead him as a teenager to apply to an art school but was rejected twice. Next he joined the Bavarian Army as an Austrian citizen. He was a dispatch runner. After World War I he was appointed to become an intelligence agent for Anton Drexler. He was part of an anti-Semitic party. Hitler considered Drexler a mentor. After he was discharged from the army he went into politics. He took the position of party chairman for the NSDAP, The National Socialist German Workers Party. He then renounced his Austrian citizenship hoping to be a German citizen. He then became the Chancellor of Germany and hoped to grow the NSDAP.
The Nazi's rising
In 1933 Hitler’s cabinet received full legislative powers. He left nothing to chance to make sure it happened. Now that he had full power he destroyed every union that was established. Next he became the Supreme Leader of the Armed Forces. He again took matters into his own hands and made it impossible for anyone to remove him from office. One of his first acts was to remove Germany from the League of Nations. He did not want to have to answer to anyone for his actions. His goal was to expand Germany by taking out the British. to get the british he needed to deal with poland he wanted them to be a satellite state... they said no so they went away
Hitlers Greed
At this point in his career Hitler found it necessary to begin ethnic cleansing , the expulsion of the entire Jewish population in Europe. He had no tolerance or acceptance of the Jews. In order to prove his super powers he began to invade bordering European countries. He joined forces with Japan to help him defeat the European countries. In 1941 Japan attached Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Hitler declared war on the United States four days later. Now the United States officially joined World War II. With much casualties and destruction the war ended in 1945. Hitler ended up killing himself.
Conclusion
After Hitler died very few mourned while distracted with Germanys economic collapse. When we now think of Hitler and his legacy we think of a mass murderer with the face of patriotism.
