I think that Hitler was able to establish a dictatorship because he banned other political parties. There were other reasons why he was able to create a dictatorship but in my opinion the main reason was banning other parties.…
I have always been fascinated with Adolf Hitler and World War II. It seems that throughout my education and lifetime, the topic of how Hitler’s Germany almost ruled the entire world was constantly mentioned in conversations, books, movies, or television programs. After reading George Orwell’s “1984" I saw that there were big similarities between the town of Oceiana and Nazi Germany. Both types of government were extremely similar; in 1984as well as in Nazi Germany, they killed and vaporized people with no remorse and had no respect for humanity. Therefore, when I read the quote, “it is impossible to found a civilization on fear and hatred and cruelty. It would never endure,” I immediately thought of Nazi Germany. Hitler’s evil drive for success clearly proved this quote to be true and shows that hatred and fear can’t in fact create a stable civilization.…
Hitler was a gifted orator who captivated many with his beating of the lectern and growling, emotional speech .One of the tactics used by Hitler was inspirational tactics. Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ. In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his anti-Semitism. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization. So, in his public speeches, he influences others emotionally by stating that Jesus is a fighter against the Jews. He became adept at telling people what they wanted to hear for example, the Jewish-Marxist plot to conquer the world, and the betrayal of Germany in the Versailles treaty. By the reason of hatred on Jews, Hitler had killed thousands of Jews throughout his ruling.…
A totalitarian government is a modern autocratic regime in which the state controls all phases of society. It not only seeks to control the economical and political aspects of society, but also tries to direct the daily lives of its citizens. Totalitarianism strives to influence the attitudes, beliefs, and opinions of its people through manipulation of the press and the media. It teaches young men to value their bodies more than their minds, thus creating a politically languid mass of law-conforming puppets. Its ultimate goal is to establish a perfect society based upon its own idealistic aspirations. Different totalitarian systems have different goals. The major totalitarian states that arose during the period following World War I were the Soviet Union under Stalin, fascist Italy under Mussolini, and Nazi Germany under Hitler.…
After the Treaty of Versailles, the peace treaty that concluded War World Two, the German Workers' Party was founded ("Nazi Party."). The German Worker's Party was created in 1919, and protested against the Treaty of Versailles. Anti-Semitism and German nationalism was advertised by the German Workers' Party, attracting those furious against Germany's state of condition. Gradually, though thoroughly, the German Workers' Party transitioned into the Third Reich, also popularly known as the third Reich. The dictatorship of the Third Reich was unorganized, controlling, and power hungry. The dictatorship of the Third Reich was conceivably the worst dictatorship in existence.…
Hannah Arendt wrote “Total Domination” as the Nazi regime began their apparatus of terror and destruction. As a motive of terror, Hitler removed specific races, the mentally impaired, and other attributes that weren’t suited for him and put them in concentration camps. He not only eliminated the human species but also history was lost as well. In “Total Domination” Arendt correctly explains totalitarian rule through acts of terror, losing individuality, and leaving ones humanity and self-judgment,…
Adolf Hitler’s quest for totalitarian power over the whole world set in motion conquests that led to the Second World War, the effects of which are present to this day. Using the insult of Treaty of Versailles on Germany, the chaotic political system in Germany and the economic depression as a stepping stone, Hitler became the ultimate dictator of Germany. His greed for world domination also caused his defeat, forcing him to kill himself before the brink of defeat in the Second World War. Hitler, the ruthless dictator of Germany, began his rise to power during the period after the end of the First World War. It began with the rise of the Nazi Party, which was founded in March 1921, and whose symbol was a swastika.…

Totalitarianism: a concept used to describe political systems whereby a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life.…
Germany under the Nazi Party was a totalitarian regime that crashed due to the inefficiency of having familiarity with a democratic government. A totalitarian government could be too powerful and be too demanding due to being centralized on a dictatorship where everyone has to follow a certain leader. In the novel 1984 the government is under control by Big Brother and they take away the rights of the people of Oceania and manipulate them. In 1984, George Orwell uses the theme of psychological manipulation to display the Party’s oppressive actions in a utopian society that exhibit the dangers of a totalitarian government.…

In 1933, Adolf Hitler made his first move of his plan to conquer all by being appointed chancellor of Germany. Hitler left a mark on Germany, and other nearby nations, and therefore the nation’s history had been forever and vastly changed with one word that may be used to describe it at the time: dystopia. A dystopian society is the imbalance in which the government, more specifically, in Nazi Germany, and their leader, Adolf Hitler, made decisions that instilled fear towards their citizens. In analyzing this specific dystopian nation, one must evaluate the changes that Hitler enforced that were very influencing and controlling, the effects and impacts towards Germany and other allied countries’ people, and the genres of literature that may…

The National Socialist (Nazis) won 34.1% of the overall vote. The German people were looking for a new voice for their suffering; they wanted a new leader to help get them out of their downfall during World War I, the Great Depression of 1929, and the Treaty of Versailles.…
On November 1923, German army veteran and leader of an extremist party, Adolf Hitler climbed onto a table and fired his pistol. "The National Socialist revolution has begun!" Hitler's rise to power is one of the most significant events of our century. People today still debate how and why Hitler's totalitarian dictatorship in the 1930's was such a big success with support of many Germans. At the time of Hitler's rise, Germans were in a rough time of sorrow and unemployment. In order to stabilize the economy many workers were needed to reconstruct highways, houses and forests. Demand for Military hardware stimulated business and helped eliminate unemployment. Propaganda was used to encourage young men to join programs like "Strength Through Joy" , which offered vigorous outdoor vacations that also make them physically fit for military service. The…
