Adolf Hitler

"If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the Revolution."- Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, Austria on April 20th, 1889. He was the son of Alois Hitler and Klara Hitler. Then he went to Germany and became a politician and the leader of the Nazi Party from 1920-1921. And he was chancellor from 1933-1945. After Germany’s defeat, Hitler took up political work in Munich in May-June 1919. As an army politician agent, he joined the small German Worker’s Party in Munich during September 1919.

Hitler started to change Germany, consolidating power, locking up “enemies” in camps, bending culture to his will, rebuilding the army and breaking the constraints of Treaty of Versailles. He tried to change the social fabric of Germany by encouraging women to breed more and by bringing in laws to secure racial purity, Jews were targeted. Hitler ordered the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in 1938. His army invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, causing France and England to declare war on Germany. In 1941, Hitler ignored a non-aggression pact he signed with the Soviet Union in August 1939. After the invasion of the Soviet Union in June, the United States entered the war. In then end, Hitler had lost the war so he killed himself on April 30, 1945.

Hitler loved his parents, his young sister, his wife, his mistress, and his half niece. He wanted to get rid of all the Jews because of their beliefs and because he felt that Jews were not as good as Germans. Hitler was a leader to an exceptional degree because of his knowledge and intellect, his rhetoric and his will power triumphed in the end in every spiritual conflict over everyone.

Hitler wrote a book that was titled MeinKamph, which means My Struggle. The book talked about Germany’s future and his plans to take over Europe. Hitler felt that he could take back the territories that Germany lost in World War 1 and he thought he could defeat Europe in World War 2. Hitler believed that Germany was the most powerful country in the world. He wanted to see Europe under Germany’s control in the future. 




Before all this occurred, Hitler was like us. He went to school and he had a bright academic future ahead of him. He was popular and was admired for his leadership qualities. His greatest success was the Holocaust because he was about to succeed by getting rid of all the Jews but he failed at the end. He wasn’t always popular and loved because after he did all these things he was the most hated person in the world. He is now known as the most evil man to ever live.
