Recommended: Hitler's effect on Germany

Hitler could have ruled the world, what happened? What did Hitler do wrong? Hitler and his adversaries were very straightforward and closed-minded. Although Hitler had dynamic leadership skills, his master plan held multiple fatal flaws. Hitler's Achilles heel was his overextended ambitions. He tried to do too many things at once. Hitler knew that there was going to be a war, he chose to spend a major amount of time rising to power. He also was enamored with the fact that all the Jews had to die, to have a peaceful world. Propaganda is the art of persuasion; persuading others that a specific side of the story' is correct. Hitler used propaganda to make sure that people knew his name and make it seem like he was fighting for a good cause. He worked with a man named Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda. Hitler used him to help persuade the German people that he was a good person and was looking out for the best of Germany. Hitler did many things that made him rise to power. This quote shows how Hitler thought that he was superior. "Common blood belongs in a common Reich" (Hitler 3). Hitler made sure that he was never shown in a negative light. Positivity always came out of the mouths of people in that time period that followed Hitler. Even if the German citizens didn’t think that what Hitler was doing was right thing, they still had to have only positive things leave their lips. Otherwise they would be executed. To ensure that everybody thought of him in the correct manner, Goebbels set up the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1933. This organization dealt with literature, art, music, radio, films, newspapers and any other form of art. Hitler's opinion on modern art and certain ancient art shows his disgust with art at that time.... ... middle of paper ... ....

  • Hitler’s Political Succession Amidst the Economic Depression

    1613 Words  | 4 Pages

    This investigation will address the research question, to what extent was Germany’s post-World War I economic depression a causal factor in Hitler’s rise to power from 1919 to 1934? With the Treaty of Versailles, the German government was required to pay 132 billion gold marks of war reparations, drastically worsened with the US Wall Street crash. This effectively crippled the German economy and created a desperate people. For this investigation, Hitler’s private life history and pre-military career will not be analyzed. His political rise will be examined from the perspective of economic and social factors. Several primary sources will be explored, including the Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Hitler’s 25-Point Program. In addition, tertiary sources covering Hitler’s non-personal life and rise to power will be studied.

  • Adolf Hitler's Political Goals And Social Philosophies

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the1930’s the Western economy was still in terrible shape from the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. “Evident instability – with cycles of boom and bust, expansion and recession - generated profound anxiety and threatened the livelihood of both industrial workers and those who gained a modest toehold in the middle class. Unemployment soared everywhere, and in both Germany and the United States it reached 30 percent or more by 1932. Vacant factories, soup kitchens, bread lines, shantytowns and beggars came to symbolize the human reality of this economic disaster.” (Strayer, 990) Like Germany, the Western democracies were economically in trouble and looking for stability and recovery. The United States’ response to the Great Depression, under Roosevelt, came in the form of the New Deal “which was an experimental combination of reforms seeking to restart economic growth. In Britain, France and Scandinavia, the Depression energized a democratic socialism that sought greater regulation of the economy and a more equal distribution of wealth, through peaceful means and electoral policies.” (Strayer, 993) The lack and need for restoration was clearly global. Hitler’s promise of civil peace, unity and the restoration of national pride would seem very appealing and very similar to the wants and needs of the Western democracies; but through peaceful means. No one was interested in or could afford setting off a heavily funded war by taking a stand against Hitler. Through a policy of appeasement allowing Hitler to take back land that was ordered dematerialized by the Treaty of Versailles, the British and the French tried to avoid all-out war but to no avail. Hitler continued his conquests eventually having most of Europe under Nazi control. A second war in Europe had

  • Hitler’s Thousand Year Reich.

    1080 Words  | 3 Pages

    The name Adolph Hitler often brings to mind images of either a madman or an evil military genius. While Hitler was arguably an evil madman, he was no military genius. Hitler attempted to use Germany’s military muscle to overpower the world and make room for the Nazi party to survive and create what he called a thousand-year Reich. Hitler’s political activity was part luck and part skill; he found a way to turn the sentence of treason that was against him and turn it into a political stepping-stone to power. While Hitler and his generals successfully changed the world, they made too many mistakes, both military and otherwise, for the Nazi party ever to lead the world into Hitler’s dream of the thousand-year Reich.

  • Structuralist and Intentionalist approaches to Nazi Germany

    2268 Words  | 5 Pages

    Historians are often divided into categories in regard to dealing with Nazi Germany foreign policy and its relation to Hitler: 'intentionalist', and 'structuralist'. The intentionalist interpretation focuses on Hitler's own steerage of Nazi foreign policy in accordance with a clear, concise 'programme' planned long in advance. The 'structuralist' approach puts forth the idea that Hitler seized opportunities as they came, radicalizing the foreign policies of the Nazi regime in response. Structuralists reject the idea of a specific Hitlerian ideological 'programme', and instead argue for an emphasis on expansion no clear aims or objectives, and radicalized with the dynamism of the Nazi movement. With Nazi ideology and circumstances in Germany after World War I influencing Nazi foreign policy, the general goals this foreign policy prescribed to included revision of Versailles, the attainment of Lebensraum, or 'living space', and German racial domination. These foreign policy goals are seen through an examination of the actions the Nazi government took in response to events as they happened while in power, and also through Hitler's own ideology expressed in his writings such as Mein Kempf. This synthesis of ideology and social structure in Germany as the determinants of foreign policy therefore can be most appropriately approached by attributing Nazi foreign policy to a combination as both 'intentionalist' and 'structuralist' aims. Nazi foreign policy radicalized with their successes and was affected by Hitler pragmatically seizing opportunities to increase Nazi power, but also was based on early a consistent ideological programme espoused by Hitler from early on.
