Hitler 's Greatest Reason For Starting World War II

Adolf Hitler was arguably one of the world’s most powerful dictators of all time. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat throughout his rise in power. Using antisemitism to preach hatred and blame on the Jews for all of Germany’s problems, including the loss of World War I. Hitler had gained the support of other countries to include Italy and Japan and was going to stop at nothing to ensure that the German people would reign supreme. Hitler had his Army ready for war and was confident that a victory for Germany was certain, he just needed an opportunity to strike. In this paper we will discuss the history of WWII, to include Hitler’s rise to power, world conquest and the transition of Cost Artillery to today’s Air Defense.

Leah Griffin 3/6/15 HIST 121 Document Analysis Paper World War I played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. After the devastating war, Germany was viewed as the main instigator and the European Allied Powers decided to impose strict treaty obligations upon Germany. This treaty, also known as the Treaty of Versailles, was signed by Germany and went into effect in June 1919 (“Treaty of Versailles, 1919” 1). The treaty forced Germany to give up the land it seized from multiple countries during the war and also forced Germany to recognize the independence of several others (“The Treaty of Versailles – 1919” 37-43). The treaty also forced Germany to agree to many other humiliating terms that did not rest easy with the German public

In this CourseWork,the Reichstag Fire 1933 will be compared to the various events that influenced Hitler’s consolidation of power. This will be done by investigating which event was more significant and influential to Hitler and the Nazi Party. The Reichstag Fire affected and helped Hitler concrete an extremely strong argument to imprison Communist, resulting in a tremendous advantage at elections in March 1933. On the other hand, the Munich Putsch made Hitler realise that to conquer power he would have to wait, and conquer everything democratically, and the perfect time to launch his plan was during the Great Depression, if this events were not subsequent, Hitler may had not consolidated his powers. Nonetheless, Hitler becoming Chancellor

In 1933 a horrible dictator started his rise to power in Germany, and would eventually be the main cause of World War II. There were many causes of World War II, but Adolf Hitler was the main cause over all. The war lasted six long drawn out years. World War II started on September 1, 1933 and ended on May 8, 1945 with Germany’s defeat. Adolf Hitler played a key role in World War II because he started the war, his anger stemmed from his early life, he rose to power with his plans ready, and made many decisions throughout the war, but in the end his plans failed.

Karl Marx’s maxim that ‘men make their own history…under given and imposed conditions’ has been tainted by several revisionist historians as the catalyst for Hitler’s foreign policy. A.J.P. Taylor even goes on to argue that Hitler was not only continuing a policy of previous German governments but he also believes Hitler can not be directly implemented in the events which unleashed WW2. However, to attribute Hitler’s foreign policy purely to his opportunistic characteristics would be to ignore his personal motivations and both racist and expansionist ideology. This facile explanation also fails to look at Hitler’s intentions echoed fearlessly throughout his speeches, address, and party literature of reversing the Treaty of Versailles to

From the time Hitler and the Nazi’s took control of Germany in 1933 until the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, the aim of the regime under the calculating guidance of Hitler himself sought no less than global conquest. This ambitious objective can be further dissected into short term and long term goals that provide insight into Hitler’s character, thoughts and actions.

Many historians argue that the reason for Germany going to war was due to the aggressive behaviour of Germany in the build up to the war. Throughout this essay I will be addressing this issue looking at whether Germany was responsible for the outbreak of a general European war in August 1914. There are many factors which contribute to the outbreak of the war from a short-term trigger such as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand to the long-term annexation aims Germany implemented in the years building up to the war, the most important reason was Germany’s aggressive foreign policy, they had provided

Hitler’s rise to power is connected to the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles imposed on Germany at the end of WW1. Therefore, it is the conditions set out in the treaty of Versailles are the main cause of

One of the most common asked questions through history is: Why? Why did settlers decide to take people and turn them into slaves? Why was war created? Why do people discriminate against each other? Why did Adolf Hitler start the Holocaust? As of the 21st century, we have the knowledge as to why Hitler decided to start World War II, therefore creating the Holocaust. However, we only understand the historical side of things. But what about the psychological side? Where did the anger that fueled Hitler actually come from, and what was his thinking behind his plans. Was it truly just the Treaty of Versailles that pushed Hitler to seek revenged for the wrongly blamed Germany, or was it something more engrained in his mind that fueled him?

In the following investigation, the following question will be addressed: In what ways did economic and political issues in Germany between 1922 and 1932 contribute to Hitler's rise to power? The scope of my research will fall between the years of 1922-1932, the start of Hitler’s attempt to run for office. A variety of primary and secondary sources will be used to answer the question. The bitterness caused upon the change of government systems in Germany will be analyzed, along with his childhood that all primarily drove Hitler to run for power. Then, the harsh effects World War I had on Germany along with the Great Depression that followed as a result will also be looked at. Finally, a conclusion will be reached.

The rise and subsequent take-over of power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party in the early 1930s was the culmination and continuation not of Enlightenment thought from the 18th and 19th century but the logical conclusion of unstable and cultural conditions that pre-existed in Germany. Hitler’s Nazi Party’s clear manipulation of the weak state of the Weimar Republic through its continued failure economically and socially, plus its undermining of popular support through the signing the Treaty of Versailles all lead to the creation of a Nazi dictatorship under the cult of personality of Hitler. This clear take-over of power and subsequent destruction of any

Stolley writes that Hitler made a Nazi party and more than 100,000 Germans had joined the Nazi. They started to build a modern Air Force and enlarged the small army allowed them under the Treaty of Versailles (Stolley 12). As Hitler was consolidating his power in his homeland, he also began moving toward his ultimate goal: world domination. The next big step was when Hitler made two important alliances, Italy and Japan, that ruled by Benito Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito. They called themselves as the Axis, the major capitalist democracies.

As I’m sure most people know Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Germans from August 2 1934 to April 30 1945, but do you know that as Fuhrer of Germany he was the driving force behind the start of WWII. During his reign he tried to bring Germany back to the powerful country it had been before the First World War. In this paper I will prove that Hitler’s actions lead to start of WWII, and I plan to prove how his direct disregard of the Treaty of Versailles pushed the world into WWII.

General Eisenhower once said, “The world must know what happened, and never forget.” Gen. Eisenhower is talking about WWII. In 1939, Adolf Hitler started the deadliest war that has ever happened in world history. Hitler was the leader of the German political party known as the Nazi’s. One of the core points of Nazism’s ideology was anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is the prejudice held against people of Jewish religion. When the Nazi’s came to power their target was the Jewish people. Hitler and his political party hated the Jews due to the aftermath of WWI.

It was broadly considered that the Second World War began in 1939 because of Hitler’s plan for world domination; many historians validated this view at the time until A.J.P. Taylor published his book ‘Origins of the Second World War’ in 1961. A. J. P Taylor was the first historian to examine the war with a completely open mind, forcing people to view the origins not as a moral issue but as a political history. Taylor regards the start of the war as a blunder on both sides, stating that “Hitler had no clear-cut plan and instead was a supreme opportunist, taking advantages as they came.” From this Taylor suggests that neither
