Adolf Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria. He spent his childhood in Austria. His parents were Alois (1897-1903) and Klara (1860-1907) Hitler. He was the fourth of six children. The family relocated quite a few times- 1984, the family relocated to Leonding, in 1897 they moved to Lambach and a year later, they permanently relocated back to Leonding. In 1902, when Hitler was 13, his father passed away and his mother had to take care of the family. Times were tough and Hitler decided to quit school at the age of 16 and never returned.
Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist.so in 1907 and again in 1908, he applied to the Vienna Academy of Art but was denied entrance both times. At the end of 1908,his mother died of breast cancer. After his mother’s death, Hitler spent 4 years living on the streets of Vienna, selling postcards of his work to make money.
To avoid serving in the Austrian army, Hitler moved to Munich, Germany in May 1913. Hitler volunteered to serve in the German army once the war began. Hitler survived 4 years of World War I, during which he was awarded 2 Iron Crosses for bravery. He sustained 2 injuries during the war-in October 1916 and October 13 1918, which caused him to go temporarily blind.
After the war, many in Germany felt betrayed by the government. In 1919, Hitler was working for an army organization in which he was checking up for local political groups. While spying, he joined a group and became the 55th member called the German Worker’s Party and soon was leading it. In 1920, the party’s name was changed to Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s party(the Nazi Party). In November 1923, Hitler was arrested for the failure of his sudden actions to take over the government of Germany. He was released 9 months later. After getting out of prison, Hitler was determined to build up the Nazi Party in order to take over the German government legally.
In 1932, Hitler was granted German citizenship. In July 1932, the Nazi party won the elections making it the controlling political party in Germany. Hitler had enough support to become President but he lost the election to Paul von Hindenburg. A year later Hindenburg died and Hitler took over. After legally gaining power in Germany, Hitler began putting those who disagree with him in concentration camps and blaming all of the people’s problems on Communists and Jews.
Without hurting anyone, Hitler was able to take over Austria in 1938 without a battle. When Germany attacked Poland on 1 September 1939, other European Countries could no longer stand aside and watch-World War II began. Hitler slowly removed Jews from the German Society. However the Nazis made Jews to work as slaves and work for them. Hitler is considered as one of the most evil people on History because of the Holocaust. (A destruction by fire).

On April 29 1945, Adolf Hitler married his long-time mistress, Eva Braun and wrote both his last will and political statement. The following day on 30th April 1945, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun commited suicide. On his Last will he wrote: “I am doing this only to avoid suffering and defeat.”

    What Made Rome Great?

    • 454 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Rome is an empire that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea, and with an abundance of reasons as to what made it great, Cicero believed that the perfect location chosen by Romulus, that truly made Rome great. When building the Capital of an empire there are several factors to take in. Defence, distance from the sea, and more defence. The Rutuli people, were of concern to the Romans as they had comparable wealth and power. Building the city just north of Rutuli territory, over the hills and not by the coast made it “easy..to take with forces at his command, either by invading the territory of the Rutuli or of the Aborigines, or by... founding a city at the mouth of the Tiber.” The Tiber river runs through Rome into the north of the country. The basin of the river was inhabited by aboriginals, whom the Romans avoided battle with by settling away from the mouth of the river. The thought of an attack on the Rutuli's was proven true, as they took over the Rutulis in 6th century BC. A trend that Cicero noticed was that city’s built close to sea “ was not the most advantageous for cities to enjoy provenance and imperial sway, chiefly because the maritime cities are exposed to dangers both numerous and impossible to foresee.” Being closer to sea gave Rome many more unexpected dangers. Distance from the coast protected Rome from simple natural disasters such as storms, high tide, floods etc. But also gave them more foreseeable attack against enemies. As appose to being able to dock and invade, enemies of the empire would have to trench through kilometres of rough mountainous terrain in order to attack. Giving the Romans plenty of time to plan and react to the situation. He was saying how being close to the coast made it so much harder to enjoy being the most powerful, and to listen to what the state says because they would be in so much more fear due to the unforeseeable dangers. “A city surrounded on all sides by land…
