World War Two: Did Hitler A Monster Or Genocide?
Many may say that World War 2 was caused by the uprise of Hitler and his quest for power. People say that Hitler was insane, and that his decision to take over Europe and kill millions were what caused World War 2. I completely agree with them. However, Hitler may have caused the tensions, and his actions were the immediate cause of the war. What could possibly make anyone support such a mad man with such radical beliefs?

Hitler came to power because people did not want to take blame for a war they didn’t start. He came to power because he made promises to the German people, telling them that he would make Germany the powerful empire it once had been if not greater.

The Treaty was an unnecessary evil. The treaty placed all blame of the war on Germany because Europe was terrified. Germany had been growing rapidly before the first world war and countries surrounding it were terrified that they would eventually been under German control. The Treaty was supposed to be a lead brick to weigh Germany down, to keep them from growing, but rather instead of weighing them down, it fueled the passion for German nationalists. All of which would lead to World War
