Nietzsche's Views On Overman And Superman

Friedrich Nietzsche had strong views on power and the irrational. He believed that the humans drive for power was because power equals freedom. He believes that people unceasingly strive for power and that the ultimate purpose of our actions in life is for power. He backed up his thoughts of the irrational with Nihilism, which is the belief that life is meaningless, and that moral and social values have no validity. He believed that nothing is true, there is no higher purpose, and God is just man’s own creation. Nietzsche also describes an Overman and Superman. The Overman is an alternate form of the Superman, but the Superman is a superior man or leader that justifies the existence of the human race. These beliefs indicate that Nietzsche was

The United States, France and the UK were all in on making Germany hold to these reparations. The Treaty of Versailles can be broken down into four categories as follows, land, military, blame and money. Germany had to give up the Alsace and Lorraine territories to France, colonies in Africa and Asia, no fortifications in Rhineland, and give Italy 200,000 Austrian Germans. As well as, the annexation of the Saar Basin, which France saw as compensation for destroying their coal mines in the war as the Saar Basin was a coal-rich area in Germany. Also, the German Republic was supposed to make their German port: Danzig, a free city. Secondly, among all of the other harsh conditions, the German Republic was forced to take the blame for the war. As for the Military, the German General staff was abolished, military conscription was not allowed, the army was limited to 100,000 men, they were not allowed heavy artillery, tanks or warplanes. Lastly, the navy had a small force and weren’t allowed to have submarines. Furthermore, compensation was asked for in payments, in which the total ‘bill’ to repay would take Germany generations to pay back. In the end, the UK felt guilty and talked about revising the treaty and the United States refused to approve the treaty so that it all rested on France to keep the agreement. This treaty was the one thing France was

Moreover, those countries hoped that giving Hitler what he wanted would actually prevent another world war. In 1935, Hitler declared that Germany would no longer be restricted by the Versailles treaty. He restored conscription, built an air force, and built up its navy. France did protest against some changes but that was all they did since they did not want to start a war, and Britain tried to negotiate, but quietly backed down too. Germany then marched into Rhineland and as Hitler guessed, France and Britain took no action. Moving forward, the Spanish Civil War gave Germany a chance to test their weapons and pilots, which was also against the treaty. Hitler continued to try to incorporate Austria into the Third Reich even though the Treaty prohibited that union. Austria promised to accept closer relations with Germany, but the leader of Austria also wanted to preserve its independence and made plans to do so. Likewise, Hitler drew up plans to invade Austria. Britain and France said they would not help Austria if Germany invaded, and thus, Hitler sent in troops in 1938 and declared Austria a province of the German Reich. Lastly, regarding the monetary part of the agreement, once the German economy had recovered in the 1930s Hitler did not finish paying the reparations
