Alan John Percivable Taylor (1906-1990) was born in Lancashire, England. After his studies in Oriel College in Oxford he became a political and diplomatic historian. He was significant both for controversy his work on Germany and Second World War engendered and for his role in development of history on television.

In this essay, based on Hitler's Foreign policy, by Norman Rich who makes several references to The Origins of the Second World War (1961), by Alan John Perceivable Taylor, we will discuss the author’s opinion, based on historical facts about the the main character, Hitler, the Chancellor of Germany and the head of state from 1934 to 1945.

In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup d'état, known as the Beer Hall Putsch. The failed coup resulted in Hitler's imprisonment and during this time he wrote his memoir, Mein Kampf. After this, he gained support by promoting Pan-Germanium, anti-Semitism, and anti-communism with an incredible charismatic oratory and an effective propaganda. Then, in 1933, Hitler came finally to power, as Chancellor and transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism.

Taylor believed that Hitler did not bring political innovation as his foreign policy was the same of his predecessors except some differences in emphasis: free Germany from the restrictions of Versailles

    The coined term “working towards the Fuhrer” helps shed light in understanding Hitler’s style of rule. “Working towards the Fuhrer” existed because of Hitler’s highly personalized style of rule. He rarely held cabinet meetings, met with cabinet members alone and disregarded customary governmental procedures. 2 Kershaw further explains the connection between “working towards the Fuhrer” and his rule, “Hitler’s sparse involvement in initiating domestic policy during the mid- and later 1930s and the disintegration of any centralized body for policy formulation means that were was wide scope for those able to exert pressure for action in areas broadly echoing the aims of nationalization of the masses.” 3 Due to Hitler’s disengagement from internal affairs, it opened the doors for party followers to carry out his aims to accomplish presumed party goals. Hitler’s style of rule that invited radical initiatives from below (“working towards the Fuhrer”, had substantial effects on both German society and the Nazi Regime during the 1930s.…

    An important factor of Hitler becoming Chancellor in January 1933 was his personality, Adolf Hitler was a genius; it took overwhelming intelligence to come from such a poor background to the Chancellor of Germany, but he managed it suggesting that he was a stubborn man and doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants. Hitler was a very popular man, which helped him make the public like him. In doing this he was able to make them listen to what he had to say, he was a very powerful speaker and the speeches he wrote were very inspiring which filled the listeners with aspiration. His personality links to every one of the point I am going to make in this essay because if he didn’t put his twist on things he would never have done them, he turned the Depression into a beam of hope for Germany. This factor defiantly helped Hitler in his rise to power because his personality is who he is, his stubbornness and arrogance defiantly helped him become one of the most listened to men in Germany.…

    Adolf Hitler was a German patriot who served in the army during the outbreak of World War I. Germany’s collapse and surrender in 1918 led to Hitler’s outrage. His passion for Germany allowed him to rise to power as leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi’s).

    Wendell Willkie, the Republican Presidential candidate in 1940, once said, “It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power.” In Germany, Italy, and Japan, the awful economic, political, and racial conditions leading up to World War II gave rise to three of the modern world’s fiercest dictators. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo have gone down in history for all the wrong reasons, and they will forever be remembered for the dark stain they have left on history. Adolf Hitler, possibly the most infamous of dictators, is one of the most known figures in history. Before Hitler came to power, Germany was in the midst of an economic depression, still trying to find money to pay its war reparations after losing World War I (Hitler, 1).…

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee it illustrates the effects of your race towards the community in a negative aspect. As it is now 2017 a lot of people are asking why we are still reading this book, before reading it did say that we read it because it's in the curriculum, but now after reading the book I’d say that it shows how much alike our world is to the book yet how we still strive for major differences and social improvements.…
