As time passed by, it became increasingly evident that the only way to put a stop to Nazi Germany was by involving the US military and fighting World War II to defeat Hitler. In response to Hitler’s rise of power, FDR first tried to get Hitler to agree to disarmament. The first week Hitler became chancellor, he was telling army officials that he wanted complete political control over Germany and from there expand east. Roosevelt was concerned how to achieve world leadership to keep international peace while remaining an isolationist.
The article Hitler’s Gamble by Adam Tooze provides information on the different scholarly views regarding Hitler’s intent to start the Second World War. Tooze does this by examining the views of the leading historians on the topic. He looks at where the historians agree and where they disagree and concludes with his own analysis of the topic. Tooze explains that the main disagreement on the topic is regarding Hitler’s purpose for escalating international tension through the invasion of Poland. There are those historians, specifically Richard Overy and Ian Kershaw, who argued that Hitler did not intend to provoke a war over Poland.
Hitler was a demagogue that obtained power over the German people by promising them to create a future powerful Germany comprised of a perfect Aryan race and a unified people. To do this, Hitler had to put carry out the Final Solution, save the Germans from their dreadful economy of unemployment, and free them of the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles. In document six, we see that during the 1920’s in Germany, there was a great economic failure which mainly affected the middle class. Throughout this economic recession, “savings of a lifetime and small fortunes melted into a few [pennies].”
After the end of World War I, the Allied Powers met to set the peace terms for the defeated countries. The main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations, five major peace treaties with the defeated nations, disposition of the overseas colonies of Germany, and the drawing of new national boundaries of Europe. This conference set the stage for high reparations that Germany had to pay. Since Canada had been a major country playing important roles in allied victory, Prime Minister Robert Borden demanded that Canada should have a separate seat at the conference, giving Canada the right to sign the Treaty of Versailles. As a result
threats. The Enabling Act gave Hitler absolute power over the government and Germany as a whole (Pappas). Hitler also rose to absolute power as the puppeteer to the President Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg was very, very old, and incapable. With these circumstances, Hitler acted as President, as well as Chancellor, up until Hindenburg died in 1934, which is when Hitler was changed to Führer.
Hitler had power over everyone. Adolf Hitler gained his power by promising that he was going to end reparations, create a German empire and by breaking the Versailles Treaty. He also used a lot of propaganda to gain power. He developed a lot of hate towards Jewish people. Members of the Nazi organization were responsible for the Holocaust because they followed Hitler’s will and manipulated people.
On July 28, 1914 the Great War began, but no one had any idea how much this war would change everyone’s lives. World War I would last over four years, and would claim anywhere from nine million lives to thirteen million lives. On November 11, 1918 Germany formally surrendered, and now that the war was finally over it was time to set some rules to ensure that peace was here to stay. Although everyone was doing what they thought was best for everyone involved in reality it may have all been a terrible idea. Unfortunately, it is possible that there was so much guilt and shame thrown into these “rules” that it lead to World War II.
This is a damn interesting question, so I’ll give you my two cents. Let’s say that instead Hitler’s National Socialists taking control of Germany, a charismatic, nationalistic general seize control of the state. Now if this general wanted to bring all of the German speaking peoples under control, he would probably use the same tactics that Hitler did to gain control of Austria and the Sudetenlands. Now at this point, War is still up in the air.
Additionally, the League of Nations would control the United States's foreign affairs. The goal of the League of Nations is to help foreign countries, therefore the U.S. would always be out helping other nations. These actions would have cost our money, resources, and men. Consistently helping out other countries would cause the United States to run out of resources and energy. The United States would probably not be the world power it is
In claiming that he is unlike Germany’s past political leaders, Hitler is able to imbue within the minds of his audience that he is different than previous leaders and very comparable to his audience – he has gone through the same struggles and been dealt the same cards as the rest of the country. Hitler also offers the audience that his new government “did not ruin the German nation for fourteen years, but now it will lead the nation back to health.” At the surface, this quote appears to strengthen Hitler’s new government, but there is much more to Hitler’s message. Hitler is presenting to his audience that he is willing to put the desires of his nation before his political plans. He has made, in a sense, a sacrifice, in which he has made
There wouldn’t be a conflict in the middle east, the U.S. wouldn’t be close to the superpower it is today, communism wouldn’t rise as fast as it did if even at all, fascism wouldn’t rise, there wouldn’t be generations lost to a war in which no one wanted. But how, how would we in this strange scenario stop WWI from happening. First of all countries like england and france were not giving germany the equal treatment like trade and colonies they weren’t allowing germany to do the things they themselves were doing, germany was only 43
Many people thought after World War I, WWI, there would not be any more wars, which is why they nicknamed it “The War to End all Wars”, but that was not the case. It could have been the war to end all wars if only they had listen to President Woodrow Wilson’s “Fourteen Point”. If the winning allies, France, Great Britain, and Russia, did not take all of Germany’s land and made them pay the war debt, which made them go bankrupt, Adolf Hitler, the chancellor of Germany after WWI, would not have tried to take over the world. Many of the world’s superpowers did not intervene in Hitler’s misfits because they were still in an economic recovery and did not want to make matters worse. Hitler had successfully taken over and invaded many countries in
What if Germany wasn’t so desperate for a person to fix their poverty and other problems?... Before everyone found out about his intentions, Germany was in serious poverty and had many economic issues going on. Everyone was waiting for someone to take charge and give them a better life, and that’s exactly what Hitler did, well for a little while. I think if Germany’s economy wasn’t weak at the time and it had a strong government, people would have denied Hitler’s request for him to take charge. If the country was strong than it could’ve eventually seen itself as a democratic country no matter what the problem.
Hitler wanted to take over Europe and the world. He was ambitious because even after he took over Germany he still craved for power. Hitler pursues his ambitions and will stubbornly refuse neither to give it up nor to be influenced by anyone by any way. When we wanted to take over Europe he didn’t have enough power or resources to fight. So that’s was one of the reasons he lost the war.
Everyone has heard of Adolf Hitler and how he tried to conquer Europe. He attempted doing it at the right time when everyone thought that Germany was going to lose everything, because, the national debt and inflation was so high. Germany was so desperate for anyone to help them that Adolf Hitler saw a chance to step up and be in charge of everything. Hitler was very good at acting like he really cared about his people. He claimed to the German people that he would help with unemployment, help businesses, success to the failed businesses, and to expand their army to make them more powerful.
