As the 12th century proverb says, Rome wasn’t built in a day, meaning all great things, good or bad, needed time and contributions to happen.

World War 1, was a great contributor in the rise of Hitler’s power in part that Hitler was a soldier in it. WW1 had just begun and Hitler was drafted to fight. He was always eager to fight and volunteer for dangerous missions, while never complaining about the harsh conditions or asking for leave. Although many people saw him as a brave man he was also seen as odd, and because of this he was ironically not promoted to be a sergeant because he 'lacked leadership qualities' (The History Place - Rise of Hitler: Hitler in World War I). Although he was usually lucky in staying safe in the war, he was wounded in the leg in 1916 and was hospitalized in Germany. Once he was healed he was drafted to light duty in Munich, where his hatred and obsession had sparked. There in Munich he saw many things that repulsed him, “ He was appalled at the apathy and anti-war sentiment among German civilians. He blamed the Jews for much of this and saw them as conspiring to spread unrest and undermine the German war effort.” (The History Place - Rise of Hitler: Hitler in World War I). Hitler's obsession began to grow as he saw what the destroyed and apathetic Munich looked like and began to blame it on the Jews. He believed that they wanted the worst for Germany and were just all evil.

Adolf Hitler and His Regime Adolf Hitler and his regime had a devastating effect on the twentieth century. Hitler’s third Reich (1933-1934) was supposed to last for 1000 years but only lasted twelve.
