World War 2
One of the most prominent names in the history of the world is Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler's impact on the twentieth century is much greater than any other man. Whether this impact is considered good or not, it does not matter. Hitler's influence on the world, although not a good one, is unquestionable. Many leaders have had inspirations of ruling the world, but few of those leaders have had the strength or power to even attempt world domination. Hitler was one of those few, his ability to lead a group into a fight for immoral purposes, and total control over Germany led to his dominance. Hitler's promise to Germany to bring the country back to a major power status lured the country into his rule. Germany had visions of power and greatness, and Hitler was the leader who was going to accomplish that for them. So with power in mind, Germany followed Hitler's lead, which led to the annihilation and almost extinction of the Jews in Europe. We have all heard the horror stories of the concentration camps, and the devilish events that that took place during World War Two. It is sad to say, only a man who had great intelligence and leadership qualities could lead such a battle. No man before Hitler reig

Seeking to avoid military service, Hitler left Vienna for Munich, the capitol of Bavaria. But the police would soon come to his door bearing a draft notice from the Austrian government. The document threatened a year in prison and a fine if he was found guilty of leaving his native land with the intent of avoiding military service. Hitler was arrested on the spot and taken to the Austrian Consulate. Upon reporting to Salszburg for duty, he was found "unfitKtoo weakKand unable to bear arms"(Davidson 70-75). Hitler's passions against foreigners soon would grow. He got caught up in the patriotism of World War f¹, and enlisted in the Bavarian army. After less than two months of training, Hitler saw his first combat. Hitler narrowly escaped death in battle several times, and was eventually awarded two Iron Crosses for bravery. He rose to the rank of lance corporal but no further. But it is here where Hitler would learn the traits necessary for battle. A second volume of Mein Kampf was crudely written and filled with embarrassing remarks, it enlightened its target, those Germans who believed it was their destiny to dominate the world. The book sold over five million copies by the start of World War f¹f¹. Once released from prison, Hitler decided to seize power constitutionally rather than by force of arm. Hitler spoke to mass audiences, calling for the German people to resist the connection of Jews and Communists, and to create a new empire that would rule the world for 1,000 years (Simpson 95-96). Hitler's Nazi party captured 18% of the popular vote in the 1930 elections. In 1932, Hitler ran for President and won 30% of the vote, forcing the eventual victor, Paul von Hinenburg, into a runoff election. A political deal was made to make Hitler chancellor in exchange for his political support. He was appointed to that office in January 1933. Upon the death of Hindenburg in August 1934, Hitler was the consensus successor. With an improving economy, Hitler claimed credit and took the position as dictator, having succeeded in eliminating challenges from other political parties and government parties.
