Hitler and Nazism

 

Hi There .

Here is the information presented by Paola and myself in class.

HITLER

WHO WAS ADOLF HITLER?

±  Adolf Hitler (Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, April 20, 1889 - Berlin, Germany, April 30, 1945) was one of the most conflictive and powerful historical figures of the 20th century. He ruled Germany during what was known as the Third Reich, carrying out brutal racial cleansing in what is widely known as the Holocaust. The expansionist desires of this dictator caused the Second World War. He ended up committing suicide on April 30, 1945 in his Berlin bunker as Soviet Union troops entered the German capital.

±  Adolf Hitler, who in a few years turned Nazism into one of the leading political forces, transformed the German Workers' Party into an instance of the extreme right. By 1932, the Nazi Party had 800,000 members and had the largest presence in Parliament.

±  Hitler's foreign policy was the key to his promised reconstitution of Germany, based on shifting attention from internal conflicts to aggressive foreign action. He aligned himself with the Italian fascist dictatorship, with which he intervened to help Franco in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), a dress rehearsal for the subsequent world war; and completed its alliances with the incorporation of Japan in an anti-Soviet alliance (Anti-Comintern Pact, 1936) until forming the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis (1937).
