How Did Hitler Become A Dictator

Have you ever wondered what Hitler was like before he became a dictator? Well I am here to tell you just that, how he became dictator, and how he lived the rest of his life. Adolf Hitler was born in Austria, on April 20, in 1889 as the forth son of six children. His parents' names were Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl. Adolf would frequently fight with his father because his father wouldn't approve his interest in art instead of business. Then suddenly Adolf Hitler's father died in 1903 for unknown reasons. In 1905, Hitler moved to Vienna and became a watercolor painter. He tried applying to the Academy of Fine Arts twice; however, he was rejected both times. As he was running low on money, he lived as a homeless person for several years of his life. During World War 1 Hitler tried to join the German military, He was later accepted in august 1914. He mainly was away from the front lines, but he was there during many major battles. Later at Somme, he was wounded but recognized for his bravery by the military and was given the Iron Cross First Class and the Black Wound Badge. In 1918 Germany
Surrendered and Hitler was furious about the surrender. Although the war was over, Hitler returned to the army as an intelligence officer in charge of monitoring a German party called the DAP. Wale doing this he picked up a lot of anti-Semitic, nationalist and anti-Marxist ideas and the founder Anton Drexler invited Hitler to join which he did in 1919. When he joined, he gained popularity by giving speeches against the Treaty at Versailles, rival politicians, Marxists, and Jews. Now on November 8, 1923, Hitler stormed a meet of a rival political group and announced that he was going to declare a new form of government but was arrested for a year for treason. When he was released, Germany was under The Great Depression, which was a perfect opportunity for Hitler and in 1932, Hitler ran for president against Paul von Hindenburg.
Even though he failed twice, Hindenburg made him chancellor of Germany. Now that Hitler was in a position of power, he attempted to turn Germany into a dictatorship. He got rid of most basic rights and made it were people can be punished for crimes with a trial. Having full control of all the branches of government, he made only his Nazi Party the only legal political party. At the day before Hindenburg's death in 1934, Hitler got rid of the office of the president and made himself the head of state. Hitler also tried to prevent marriages between German and non-Jews and Jews. Afterwards he started the holocaust to kill as much Jews as possible; he did that because he blamed Jews for the loss of Germany in
WWI. Trying to show what Germany can do and show its dominance, in 1938, Hitler invaded Poland, which started WWII. After that, it was only a matter of time before Hitler attacked other countries like Scandinavia as well as France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Then he ordered a bombing raid on the United Kingdom and made allies with Italy and Japan. Now Germany made the biggest mistake by attacking the Soviet Union, which was the largest military force in the world at the time. Thing only got worse when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December 7, 1941. Now the Axis was facing more than it can handle so it started losing battle after battle but still Hitler wouldn't give up which brought to the end of his county. By early 1945, Hitler began to realize that Germany in going to lose the war as they were being pushed back. Then on April 29, 1945, he married his girlfriend Eva Braun in his bunker in Berlin. Later that day he heard that the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Afraid of being captured by the enemy, he and his wife committed suicide in the bunk the day after their wedding thus marking the end of the war.
