hitler and germany
Adolf Hitler, one of the 20th century's most powerful dictators, was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary. He first became interested in politics after witnessing a large protest by German workers. Finding the outbreak of World War I as an opportunity to show his loyalty to Germany, Hitler volunteered for the Imperial Army. Later faced with fierce resistance from the British and French armies and an economy in ruins, German generals requested armistice negotiations with the Allies in November 1918. Hitler and the German soldiers found it impossible to swallow defeat (History Place). Because he believed that the Jews' betrayal caused their defeat, Hitler acquired a hatred for socialism and came to equate it with the Jews. He held that the superior Aryan race would be the final victor and would rule the world, but to win this struggle, Germany would have to be ruled by a dictator and would have to have hatred for all other inferior races, especially the Jews. It was then that his extreme dislike for the Jews developed (Encarta). After the war in March 1918, Hitler was employed by a Munich army to keep tabs on the racist German Worker's Party, later changing its name to
Hitler and the Nazis created a plot in which they would kidnap the leaders of the Bavarian government forcing them at gunpoint to accept him as their leader. Then, according to their plan, they would win over the German Army, proclaim a revolt, and bring down the German democratic government in Berlin. Unfortunately for him, his plan failed. Hitler was arrested and sentenced for treason. Released around Christmas in 1924 he had a new idea on how to conquer the government for himself. Hitler decided to seize power constitutionally rather than by force of arms. The Nazi Party would be organized like a government so that when power was achieved he could just slip right into place. Hitler requested a meeting with Hindenburg demanding to be Chancellor. They agreed to make Hitler the next Chancellor of Germany. Within weeks, Hitler would be absolute dictator of Germany and would set in motion a chain of events resulting in World War II and the eventual deaths of nearly 50 million humans through that war. In the 1932 presidential election President Hindenburg reluctantly announced his candidacy for re-election. Hitler decided to oppose him and run for the presidency. Hitler received 30% of the votes, and Hindenburg received 49%, but Hindenburg didn't get the absolute majority, making a run-off election necessary. On April 10, 1932, the people voted. They gave Hitler 36% of the votes and Hindenburg got 53%
