Why Is Hitler Important To History

Adolf Hitler is very important to history because he was responsible for starting World War II and also for the European jew massacre and jew genocide in 1933. He reminds us how not to act. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the National Socialist Nazi Party and Chancellor of Germany. He was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria, and he died on April 30, 1945 in Berlin, Germany. He led the Nazi Party from 1933 to 1939. As a child, he lived in upper Austia where both his mother and father died. He never went on with school after high school. He desired to become an artist, but kept failing at getting into a university for fine arts. During these years, he had a lot of loneliness and secretiveness. In 1914, he signed up for military service,
and was classified as unfit because of his inadequate physical build, and was not accepted. But as soon as World War I started, he was immediately was accepted into the German army. In the war, he was continuously in the front line as a headquarters runner. He was rewarded the Iron Cross and the First Class for his bravery in action. In 1921, "strong arm" squads formed a private army party. Hitler noticed that conditions were very good for the growth of this small army party. In 1921, he became the leader of this party with almost unlimited powers. On November of 1923, Hitler tried to force the Bavarian government and the local army commander to start a national revolution. After the revolution, police and army killed some of the marchers, 4 policemen and injured Hitler. Adolf was sent to prison for five years but only served in prison for nine months. After the Great Depression in 1929, Hitler made a campaign against Germany's war payments.
With this campaign, Hitler was able to get support from many of buisness's and industries that controlled political payments, and he was able touse them to create an antisocialist government. One of Hitler's most important achievements was the establishment of a national party, with its voters and followers from diffrent classed and religious groups. Hitler's party became the second largest party in the country. Hitler had his partner, Hindenburg, who allied with him to form the revolution go into the presidential election in 1932. With Hindenburg as the new president, Hitler insisted that he should be put into the chancellorship, and on January 30, 1933, Hindenburg gave Hitler the chancellorship of Germany, which included a few Nazis at the time. Once in power, Hitler created an absolute dictatorship for himself. On March 23, Hitler gained full powers from the Enabling Bill by the votes of Nazis, Nationalists and center party deputies. After Hitler was recieved full power, all non-Nazi parties and organizations became non existing. In November, Hitler held a secret meeting with his fellow military leader. Hitler discussed his plans for his future conquest. In February, Hitler invited the Austrian chancellor and forced hin to sign an agreement including Austrian Nazis with the Vienna government. When the chancellor tried to say no, Hitler ordered the invasion of Austria by
German troops. Hitler was later faced with a decision to where he could either choose between gains by a peaceful agreement, or he could have a great war against Czechoslovakia. Hitler decided to create a peaceful agreement and accepted the Munich Agreement on September 30. A few months later, Hitler marched into Czechoslovakia and made it into a German protectorate. Then, Hitler turned to Poland for his next invasion. Hitler formed the "Pact of Steel" with Italy in 1939 as a non-aggression pact. Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, and two days later, the British and French declared war on Germany. On June 10, Italy entered the war and allied with Germany. On June 22, Hitler signed an armistice with the French. Hitler tried to negotiate an armistice with British, but they didnt accept and Hitler decided to invade Britain. Hitler had to redate his attack on Britain because when Mussolini invaded Greece, Italian armies were failing which made it necessary for German forces to come to help Greece. After German troops aided Italy against Britain, Hitler planned an attack on the Soviet Union.
The German army then attacked the U.S.S.R on June 22, 1941, taking about three million Russian prisoners, but did not succeed with their attempt in destroying their Russian opponent. On December 7, the Japanese attached U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor. Hitler had an alliance with Japan which forced him to declare war on the United States. This event started the second world war. Hitler ordered the reorganization of the German economy on a full-wartime basis. From 1933 to 1939, Hitler planned to expel the Jews from Germany. During 1941, Hitler's plan to expel the jews suddenly changed to exterminate the Jews. Nazis then created concentration camps, which expanded to extermination camps. The Nazis also created mobile extermination squads. Catholics, Poles, homosexuals and handicapped people were targeted for persecution, but the Jews of Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union were of the most importance to imprison. The Jews had the most amount of people persecuted among all the victims. In the German populated part of Europe, about 6,000,000 Jews were killed during World War II. Hitler began to change during all of this was happening. He refused to go to bombed sites for the fear of being captured or killed. He also became very dependent on his physician for large amounts and varieties of pain medicines he took. After Mussolini was arrested on July 1943, Hitler focused his
attention on rescuing him. Enemy officers and anti-Nazi peoples became tired of all this that was happening, and was ready and willing to negotiate a peace with Adolf Hitler. There were several attempts to kill Hitler, but most were unsuccessful. There was one attempt to kill Hitler during a conference at his headquarters in Prussia on July 20, 1944, where colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg exploded a bomb during the conference and injured Hitler. Hitler ended up escaping with only a few injuries, and those that helped plot the attempt to kill Adolf were captured and killed. Once this happened, Hitler had National Socialist political officers stand at guard at all of the military headquarters. Hitler's injuries made him very ill, but he did not ease up or lose control. On June 6, 1944, Hitler's allies liberated eight European capitals in the Invasion of Normandy, which started the end of World War II. In December of 1944, Hitler planned to split the American and British armies. He did not succeed at his plan to split these two allies. After abandoning his plans to attack the Soviet forces that were closing in on Berlin, extreme exhaustion set in for Hitler. Hitler accepted the fact that he will not win this war, and prepared to hill himself.
