Background: Adolf Hitler’s rise to power began when he joined the political party known as the deutsche arbeiterpartei. After WWI, Germany had been hit hard by the worldwide economic depression. Millions of people lacked jobs and were losing confidence in their government. This helped hitler to rise to power through the power of his voice and manipulation. His powerful voice attracted the spirits of the german people, creating a new group known as the Nazi’s.

or the head of the german government.
Domestic Policy: As soon as the nazis came to power, the jews of germany were subjected to a never ending series of discriminatory laws.
These laws were known as the Nuremberg race laws. These laws within germany did not define the jews as a kind of human or spiritual belief. The laws excluded german jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with and german person. The jews were required to carry ID cards, however, the germans added a special red mark on them to identify them as jews. Anyone who had any relations to a jewish decent was considered to be a jew. They were required to board trains to camps, where they would be forced into manual labor and killed.
Foreign policy: The aim of hitler's foreign policy was to destroy the treaty of versailles, which reduced the germans ability to create an army and gain power. Another aim that hitler had was to unite all the german speakers into one country so that they could help to gain the spirits of the people. He also wanted to expand eastward so, Germany withdrew from the league of nations and signed a nonaggression pact with poland to gain land for germany. Hitler's tactics involved using threats of violence to gain power. His foreign made him very popular in germany, helping to aid his
success.
Long Term Effects: Hitler's actions caused many long term effects that still occur today. The persecution of the jews had a major impact on the world, which caused a mass genocide of about six million jewish deaths. This changed the way other countries viewed germany and the nazi symbol became a symbol of evil. After the americans found the remanding jews, they were starved, beaten, and practically dead. Many were unable to eat because their stomachs could not handle it. The jews were moved to jerusalem as their new homeland after the holocaust. This caused many disputes because jerusalem was a religious place that consisted of many muslims and other religions. The jews resulted to kicking the people out who had originally lived there as a result of hitler and the holocaust. Hitler created many long term effects that still occur in the world today.
