Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
Being of military decent Hitler’s father ruled his home with an iron fist. This may have affected Hitler in more negative ways than normal. His father soon passed in his early adolescence and Hitler was raised by a single parent, his mother. In the beginning Hitler was not very interested in school he seemed disengaged, nonchalant and rebellious, his true passion lied in being an artist. Unfortunately with many failed attempts of entrance at the Art School Hitler’s hopes of ever becoming an artist remained a dream. Continuing life without formal education life was a little rough on Hitler. His beloved mother now diagnosed with a form of cancer and soon passed away too, Hitler was forced to survive by recreating scenes from postcards and living off the little pension he acquired from that.
To avoid military duty in Austria Hitler relocated to Munich just as World War I commenced. Appreciating German customs and traditions he soon became a part of the Bavarian- German army. Although proving to be very courageous amongst his fellow- men Hitler did not advance in highe...

... its citizens, it could be said that he showed other nations the true powers of Germany, and had he continued to fulfill his mission Germany could have been prosperous. It is only fair to say that people are entitled to their own opinions, but a leader is one who works with others to grow and succeed. As for Adolf Hitler, he not only oppressed and exploited people of Germany, but mentality ruined populations and generations of people as well.

Hitler was furious with Germany’s surrender in World War I, so when he got back to his home in Munich, he was determined to enter politics and become the greatest leader in German history (Smith). He spent all of his time and effort trying to become the chancellor of Germany. Once he was voted into being chancellor, he needed a way to become the leader of all of Germany.

Hitler did not do particularly well in school, leaving formal education in 1905. Unable to settle into a regular job, he drifted. He wished to become an artist but was rejected from the Academy in Vienna. (http://www.history.co.uk/biographies/adolf-hitler)
Hitler was born in April of 1889 to a saddened mother. He was the youngest of several children who had all died in their youth, and this great loss had taken a great toll on both of his parents. Adolph's father was an elderly man who did not involve himself in his son's life and died when Adolph was still a young boy. Klara Hitler, on the other hand, played a larger role in Adolph's life as he became and artist. So it was a tragic blow for the young man when his mother died of cancer in 1907. Despite this terrible event, Hitler applied to the prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, where he was denied. Undettered, Hitler reapplied soon after, but was not accepted.
Schooling was one of the main things that set Hitler off in the real world. At age 11 he was very popular among friends. As of well, he was excellent in school. He received the highest marks in all of his classes. Problem was, was that when he hit age 12 he all of the sudden became the least desirable in his school. Then instead of receiving the highest marks he received the lowest marks in his classes. In 1900 his father took notice of this problem then withdrew him from school and sent him to a civil servant school named Realschule. In 1904 he quit Realschule and joined another school named Steyr only to quit in 1905. For 2 years he did no schooling and only art. His dream even as a child was to be an artist but for a short time he wanted to be a priest. When his 2 years of art was done he thought that his art was great so he traveled to Vienna, Austria for it. When he took the entrance exam he ended up failing tremendously. He tried the exam again but failed again. That then brought Hitler to a dark depression and he disappeared for 5 years.

In Hitler’s youth he was “quiet, well-mannered and neatly dressed (Bloch, 1941).” Eduard Bloch was his family’s doctor and even treated his mother for her breast cancer. Hitler was described as introverted by many accounts. Being tidy and organized were also important to him growing up and even when he served in World War I. He also was patriotic and even became depressed when Germany surrendered to the allies. This could have been for a few reason though, such as Hitler not having much of a home to go back to and another reason being that he saw military service as his “calling” of sorts.

Historically, there has never been a shortage of dictators whose insatiable greed for power and control led to untold suffering and devastation. Adolf Hitler, the infamous dictator of Nazi Germany, stands as one of the most prominent and chilling embodiments of this phenomenon. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power and supremacy, Hitler's greed for territorial expansion and ideological domination precipitated the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. As a young boy, Hitler didn’t grow up wealthy or privileged. He was born to Alois Hitler and his 3rd wife, Klara Pölzl.
Hitler lost his younger brother to measles in 1900 and this is said to have had a great effect on hitlers mental state. He went from being a confident outgoing young boy to a quiet, withheld and detached person. This ultimately caused Hitler to fight with his father and teachers. In his early adulthood Hitler had a passion for music and attended multiple performances of Lohengrin , his favorite Wagner opera. This is where Hitler was first exposed to racist beliefs and ideology.
