Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria where he was baptized into the Catholic church. He was the son of an Austrian customs official, and dropped out of high school at age sixteen. As a young man, Hitler dreamed of being an artist. He applied to the Vienna Academy of the Arts twice and was rejected both times. He made a meager living by painting and selling postcards in Linz, Vienna, and Munich. Hitler affected Germany greatly because of his political offices. He founded the Nazi party and served as chancellor until the death of President Paul Von Hindenburg when he became the sole dictator of Germany. Hitler affected millions of people worldwide through his political and social views and actions. He was brutal, assertive, and decisive. He had the ability to speak and engage crowds for long periods of time. He used these traits to persuade and control the people of Germany.
When World War I began, Hitler had a strong desire to fight in the war, but Austria's army would not clear him physically to fight, so he moved to Munich and immediately enrolled in the German army. He was very enthusiastic about the war and found it exciting compared to everyday life. He approved of the support the soldiers had for each other as comrades. In October 1916, Hitler was wounded and received the Iron Cross-first and second-class. Corporals were rarely honored, and this was a proud moment for him. Up to this point in his life, he had not received much praise or acclamation. The army was the first place he had found true acceptance, and he had a difficult time demobilizing fearing that he would never find companionship as he had among his fellow soldiers (Holocaust Encyclopedia).
After the war, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, ...

Adolf Hitler was born at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of April 20, 1889, in the small Austrian village of Braunau Am Inn just across the border of German Bavaria.

Hitler’s family moved to the village of Leonding in 1898. There a history teacher named Dr. Leopold Potsch touched Hitler’s imagination with exciting tales of Bismark and Frederick the Great.

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria as son of Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, an Austrian custom office and his third wife Klara Polzi. Hitler was born in a middle class family. As a child Adolf had strong leadership qualities. Even as a child he showed racial discrimination towards Non-Aryan races.

Later, he wrote: “I yawned and grew sick to my stomach at the thought of sitting in an office, deprived of my liberty; ceasing to be the master of my own time and being compelled to force the content of a whole life into blanks that had to be filled out” (Haugen, 20). At the age of 16, Hitler dropped out of high school. After his father’s death he moved to Vienna in hope of becomin...

Adolf Hitler was born to Alois and Klara Hitler on April 20th, 1889 in Braunau, Austria. Hitler had shown his intellectual potential, leadership quality, and how popular he could become with his pupils in primary school. Secondary school was much more difficult for Adolf and he began to lose interest in participating in school. Adolf was then told to repeat the year but decided to drop out of school instead at the age of 15. At the age of 18, Adolf moved to Vienna with money that he inherited after the death of his father, who had died in 1903, in order to pursue an art career, his best subject in school. His applications to both the Vienna Academy of Art and the School of Architecture were rejected. After Adolf’s rejection to both of the schools he became interested in politics and he was impressed with the Christian-Socialist party. Adolf had volunteered to fight for the German Army in World War I where he began his military career.

In 1889 in Austria Adolf Hitler was born. Over the course of his life, he would go on to become the most infamous dictator of all time and cause the death of over eleven million people.
Hitler’s influence on the world, although not a good one, is unquestionable. Many leaders have had inspirations of ruling the world, but few of those leaders have had the strength or power to even attempt world domination. But Hitler was one of those few, his ability to lead a group into a fight for immoral purposes, and total control over Germany led to his dominance. Hitler’s promise to Germany to bring the country back to a major power status lured the country into his rule. Germany had visions of power and greatness, and Hitler was the leader who was going to accomplish that for them. So with power in mind, Germany followed Hitler’s lead, which led to the annihilation and almost extinction of the Jews in Europe. We have all heard the horror stories of the concentration camps, and the events that were a part of World War Two. It is sad to say, but only a man who had great intelligence and leadership qualities could lead such a battle. No man before Hitler reigned in so much power, and no man after him has even come close. Although his actions were not justified, Hitler became the most dominant man in the world. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in the Austrian town of Braunau. He was the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler. Two of his siblings died from diphtheria when they were children, and one died shortly after his birth. Hitler’s father was a customs official, illegitimate by birth, which was described by his housemaid as a "very strict but comfortable" man. When Hitler was a child, his mother gave him love and affection. When Adolf was three years old, the family moved to Passau, along the Inn River on the German side of the border. A brother, Edmond, was born two years later. The family moved once more in 1895 to the farm community of Hafeld, 30 miles southwest of Linz. Another sister, Paula, was born in 1896, the sixth of the family, supplemented by a half brother and half sister from one of his father's two previous marriages. Following another family move, Adolf lived for six months across from a large Benedictine monastery. The monastery's coat of arms' most salient feature was ...
