Hitler's Legacy
An old adage says, "absolute power corrupts absolutely". Nothing could be used to better describe the life of Adolph Hitler. Born in Austria in 1889, Hitler eventually ended up as part of the German Army in World War I. After the war Hitler managed to become one of the most powerful men in the world through his mastery of public speaking. Through gaining political power Hitler could realize his philosophic dream of "The Third Reich". Unfortunately, while trying to fulfill his dreams of this utopian society, he put the world on the brink of destruction and left over thirty million people dead in his wake. He was born in Austria, but he fought as a soldier in World War I for Germany and soon became dictator. He wanted to create a perfect world, called The Third Reich, which consisted of one race, which he considered pure. Hitler gave speeches and had many strange ideas and beliefs; few people took him seriously, but enough for him to gain power. Hitler became the dictator of Germany; immediately, he broke the previously made peace treaty, which banned him from expanding the borders of Germany. The result of his murderous actions left over thirty million people dead, six million of them Jews. Adolf Hitler's goals were to lead T
He believed that he was superior to them and that these people must be killed in order for his perfect race to have room to grow. Fortunately for everyone the combined efforts of the allies were enough to contain his depraved schemes. Hitler eventually went from an unknown to dictator of Germany. His foremost goal was to conquer the world. He did all this in an attempt to form his perfect world, The Third Reich. Hitler started going to high school when he was eleven. By annexing these lands, Hitler and Germany became more powerful. Although Hitler abhorred all races outside of pure Germans, he especially hated the Jews. Although he did not like the Japanese and they too were on Hitler's list of people to kill, he needed help in fighting and used them to build a stronger defense in the war. With his grades being above average, he was able to attend Realshule, which was a private secondary school. One can only imagine the tyrannical state our world would be in today if Hitler had seen his plan play out as planned. In his speeches, he combined an effective and carefully rehearsed speaking style with what looked like absolute sincerity and determination. While in jail, the first volume of the book, Mein Kampf, was written. (Academic American Encyclopedia) His father had a good job in the civil services; thus, Hitler had a nice and comfortable life as a child. The last main group of people that were to be killed on his list was anyone who was against the Nazis.
