Adolf Hitler 6
Adolf Hitler ruled Germany as dictator from 1933 to 1945. Hitler turned Germany into a powerful war machine and started World War II in 1939. He conquered most of Europe before being defeated in 1945. Hitler spread death as no person has ever done. "Close your eyes to pity! Act brutally!" he told his soldiers. He ordered anyone who opposed him to be killed or put in jail. If even one person resisted his orders, he had whole families or hundreds of people in that town put to death. Hitler especially hated Jews, and ordered them to be wiped out in places he controlled. He set up concentration camps where about six million Jews were killed. Many of Hitler's victims in these death camps were tortured before they being killed. Others starved to death or died from diseases. As a boy, Hitler sang in a church choir and thought he would be a priest. But as an adult, he hated Christianity, which he called the religion for weaklings. Adolf Hitler began his rise to power in 1919, the year after World War I ended. The old German Empire had been defeated, and the economy of the country lay in ruins.

In 1920, this group changed it's name to the National Socialist German Worker's party, which became known as the Nazi party. The Nazis called for the union into one nation of all Germans, including those in other countries. They also favored the creation of a strong central government and cancellation of the Versailles Treaty. "Conquest," Hitler told the German people, "is not only a right but a duty." Hitler prepared Germany for war from 1933 to 1939. He rearmed the nation, first secretly and then in open violation of the Versailles Treaty. Because of the fear of another world war, no nation did anything to stop Hitler. The German dictator had two main goals. First, he wanted Germany to get more territory to the east. Second, he was determined to avenge Germany's defeat in World War I. In March, 1938, Hitler absorbed Austria into Germany. In September, with the consent of France and Great Britain, he took over the German areas of Czechoslovakia. After each move, Hitler said he wanted no more territory. But after each success, he planned o new take over. By March, 1939, he had possession of the rest of Czechoslovakia. In 1936, Hitler sent troops into Germany's Rhineland in violation of the Versailles Treaty. His general had opposed this dangerous challenge to France. But Hitler guessed correctly that France would not stop him. The military occupation of the Rhineland was
