Adolf Hitler Was Responsible For World War II

Adolf Hitler had been Germany’s leader for 6 years when he launched the first attack to start World War II. World War II officially started when Germany invaded Poland in 1939; although related conflicts began earlier. Hitler was responsible for the murders of over 6 million European Jews, and great misfortunes for Germany; however, he knew how to be a good leader. Many people claim that he was the reason for the most destructive war in history. It is true; nonetheless, that he was a very intelligent ruler with good legislation, good military strategy, and a transformative vision for Germany. Hitler was a bright student. He described his school years saying, “school work was ridiculously easy, leaving me so much free time that the sun
He was always fascinated by war: he had experience on the field, and experience leading an army himself. His admiration increased when he fell upon 2 magazines that documented the Franco-Prussian war 1870-1971. He later wrote, “From then on I became more and more enthusiastic about everything that was in any way connected with war or, for that matter, with soldering.” His love for war was what made him join the German army in World War I. His love for war made him odd, and unpopular among the comrades who served alongside with him. “We all cursed him and found him intolerable,” one comrade said, “there was this white crow among us that didn’t go along when we damned the war to hell.” In fact, losing World War I encouraged him to take power and launch another war. He was recovering from temporary blindness due to mustard gas when he heard the news of Germany surrendering. He chose to go into politics because of the betrayal he felt as he lost in defeat “everything that gave his life a meaning.” His experience in war on the field later became a reason why many of the soldiers who served on Germany’s army in World War II admired him; because he was once one of them. Hitler broke a term in the Treaty of Versailles when he started the remilitarization of the German army. The army controlled Poland, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, and France in only 9 months.

To be a successful leader, one must have the capacity of articulating a vision of better world, then unite the people to achieve that vision. Hitler had a concept of a world where Germany was a dominating country, and the German race was the only desirable one. He achieved his first goal when he lifted Germany from its state after First World War. German streets were filled with poverty; millions were unemployed, and large banks failed. Hitler found new careers, and fixed the economy in a very short time. Despite his statement that economy was of secondary importance at the beginning of his campaign, Hitler introduced many policies that aimed to improve the economy. Although reduced foreign trade meant rationing in consumer goods like poultry, fruit, and clothing for many Germans, wages increased by 10.9% at the beginning. By 1938 unemployment was practically extinct. Hitler wanted to increase the benefits of German agriculture; however, German farms were small, and scattered in an unorganized way. One of his motives to invade Poland, Ukraine, and west Russia, was to control their farms. Although his theory included killing everyone inhabiting those farms, it would have ensured Germany’s satisfaction in agriculture products, and found new jobs for Germans as farmers. Hitler knew how to make good use of an opportunity when he sees
