Hitler College Essays Samples For Students

In his book, Fascism, Richard Griffiths discusses how this word is an over-used term in its modern sense, specifically discussing how it relates to the ideas of: “authoritarianism, to ‘control freakery’” and how it can also “imply violence, extremism or racism; or the term can be applied to the political Right in general.” Griffiths adds that these and a “wide range of other attributes, however, made up ‘fascism’.” (Griffiths 1) Following World War One, the rise of fascism intensified in Germany, specifically, due to their nationalistic pride. When Hitler rose to be chairman of the Nazi party in 1921, Germany ...

Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in 1933 by 1939 they had begun their quest to invade and rule all of Europe. During this time, unknown to the rest of Europe Hitler and the Nazis were also implementing their “final solution” which was the systematic execution of Jews and any others that they deemed not suitable to exist in the ideal society that Hitler had been selling to the German people through his speeches and propaganda (Kershaw, 2008, pgs. 36-43).
Once the Allied forces defeated the Nazi forces and Hitler escaped his judicial fate by committing suicide. ...

Abstract

This essay will focus on what were the causes of the rise of fascism in Germany and how big a role Adolf Hitler played in proceedings. I will address various theories concerned with how fascism became such a massive problem in Germany in post-World War One Europe whilst also assessing whether the movement would have been as prevalent without the assistance of Adolf Hitler.

Could fascism have succeeded without him?

The term ‘fascism’ has long since been synonymous with Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. The dark, horrendous events of World War Two seeped out across Europe and are now an infamous part of the history books. Fascism ...

Fascism has many definitions derived by scholars and political scientists. Among the many definitions there is no one that is acceptable as fascism takes different forms (Paxton, 2005, p. 13). In all the definitions derived there are common ideas like creating a centralized authority, a new culture that is self determined and oppression of those opposed to their believe. Germany was a nation that was well known for its well established and strong culture. For such a nation to fall apart is a question asked by many (Spielvogel, 2004, p. 25). The role of Hitler and was the reasons why he was successful in mobilizing ...

I decided to write my essay about Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte as I believe that they are one of the brightest personalities in the world history. Till nowadays they are hated and loved, worshiped or compared with the devil. In my humble opinion, this is not very correct to compare these two historical figures. However, I will try as Napoleon and Hitler deserved to be talked about regardless our personal opinion about them.
Hitler and Napoleon tried to take over Europe. Both of them were serving the bourgeoisie. However, Napoleon served the bourgeoisie on the stage when it ...

CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMING OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR?

How did Hitler’s Germany Contribute to the Coming of the Second World War?
On January 30, 1933, second German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler, the leader of the largest political party National Socialists, Chancellor of Germany. That date marked the beginnings of Nazi Germany and the Third Reich and the destruction of the democratic German Republic. Hitler always said that the Third Reich would exist for a thousand years, but it lasted only for twelve years and four months. However, despite its short existence, Hitler’s rule left a significant mark both in German history and ...

Bertolt Brecht’s seminal work, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, can surely be described as one of the very best creative works of literary fiction. As one delves into scrutinizing the work in context, the intricacies and subtleties of dramatic expression as penned by Brecht and as portrayed by the performance directed by Professor Barry Freeman make one comprehend the sheer aesthetic excellence and affective quintessence that constitute this particular dramatic work in context. The most intriguing aspect of the play by Brecht is the parallel with the historical character of Adolf Hitler. The play works as a ...

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism. Fascism, as a movement, as an ideology has done so much evil to this world in the relatively recent years that some of those who had to struggle from it are still alive, and can still recollect whatever horrors they have encountered, and these memories can still make one’s hair rise, and one’s breath stop.
However, it would be simply unfair to say that fascism is the worst that ...

Two most important European leaders from the recent past and presidents of America and Germany are Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler, who both dealt with the consequences of the World War I as well as with the Great Depression during the 1930s.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has in his speech from 1933 declared the greatest issues the American society and country was facing. The main issues addressed were increased taxes and debt, lack of income, frozen exchange and trade without the available markets along with the unemployment. He has defined “only material things” (Roosevelt, 1933, par. 2) as the ...

Hitler: First of all, the philosophy of fascism is based on the ideas of nationalism and a strict system of social division. In the philosophy of fascism every person has its own role in the society as well as its own function. Overall, fascism is a political and nationalistic set of views and ideas.
Stalin: everything is quite to the contrary with communism. The first serious divergence consists in the fact that communism is rather an economic philosophy than a political one. The core economic idea of it is that all people should be equal, everything should be possessed ...

The 20th century started with the creation of the Second Polish Republic (1918 – 1939), then the World War II (1939 – 1945), then the creation of the People's Republic of Poland (1945-1989), and finally the birth of the Third Polish Republic (1989-today).

The events before World War II

Several events happened after World War 1. The League of Nations was established after the World War 1 to maintain peace. It however failed since it was not able to resolve the economic crisis of Depression. It was also unable to prevent the Second World War. The League of Nations also had few countries. Germany was not allowed to join because it caused World War 1. Britain and France refused Russia to join due to fear of Communism. The Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for causing World War 1. It was made to pay high financial reparations crippling the ...

Narcissistic leaders are known for displaying impeccable self-confidence, dominance, sense of power, and, of course, low empathy (O’Reilly et al., 2013). Hostility and arrogance are two essential characters that drive such individuals. As narcissistic leaders are always motivated by their need to control others and get their approval and admiration, their leadership style mostly tends to go destructive. On the other hand, certain other qualities like leading with a vision and consistently following their cherished path make them great leaders. Even as certain characters like ruthlessness and uncompromising nature help them to move forward as a visionary, narcissistic ...

The uniforms were able to outline the men’s body in that, those that were physically fit, others personnel could admire their hard effort they inflicted to look that amazing. The outfits clung onto their bodies ...

A cherished dream and desirable goal for many people is to become a real leader. Leadership does not necessarily imply control of a huge company, public or political party. Leadership is an attitude and the way of thinking that allows a person to achieve success in various fields (Adair 19).
The position of the leader even in a small professional group at work will definitely bring bonuses in the form of experience, new motivation, increase the credibility and, as a consequence, promotion and increasing revenue. At last, it will bring the opportunity to develop the leadership skills effectively and ...

Sebastian Haffner was one of the people who did not like the Hitler’s regime. He fled Germany to England in 1938. However, Haffner did not create any significant resistance against the Nazi regime. By the time he was leaving Germany, Haffner was leaving with a Jewish woman who was expecting her child. His relationship with the Jewish lady made him a potential target for persecution by the Hitler regime. Fascist regimes always identify an enemy or scapegoats as a unifying cause. The Nazi regime recognised the Jewish as enemies and the regime was out to eliminate them from ...

Nazi, was a name mostly used to refer to Germany during the dictatorship periods of Adolf Hitler. This was from 1933 to 1945 where Hitler joined the Nazi party and became the leader (Levine 1). It was therefore during this period that the economy in the region was under severe stretch. Hitler himself had contributed much to this as he had engaged in racial segregation where he divided German’s based on their ethnic status. Therefore, after the Nazi party was created, there were several terms that were stated by the proponents. First, the requirement for one to belong ...

There is a difference between propaganda and public relations because propaganda is mostly used by institutions who want to improve their public image by indoctrinating the masses. Public relations are also used to take care of the public image of a certain institution and it is done by communication’s specialists. The difference between propaganda and public relations lies in the fact that propaganda is used to persuade people about certain political effects, while public relations are used to promote the significance of a company or a person in the public in order to increase their popularity.

In the 20th century, Germany was troubled, because long term warfare, which made the German citizen exhausted, crumbling social system and the high costs of war put enormous pressure on the people. In spite of the above-mentioned situation and the horrible consequences of the two World Wars, in which Germany was the main participant, at that time, German cinema was developing, German films dominated in the Central Europe, and the number of companies and filmmakers was increasing. The German government realized the importance of film in terms of publicity, so that it has set up a special agency under ...

There is little doubt that social movements have been an important part of our world history and has had a direct impact on the development process. The effects of social movements can be seen in how countries are split, an areas predominant religion, the political structure of a country, how a certain race is treated, class structure, gender stereotypes and so much more. This is because the development process “implies social change, the transformation of norms and values and the introduction of new social, economic, and political structure” (Entwicklungssoziologie.uni-bayreuth.de, 2016). The importance of social movements is often overlooked, but ...

They also contribute to the evolution of societies in terms of their structure, attitudes, and preparedness for similar occurrences in the years to come. These events can be social, political, technological, economic, and ecological in nature. Nevertheless, one event can touch all these facets on either a minor or major scale.

In times of political need, art is often co-opted as a mechanism of influence. Posters are commonly used to persuade public opinion. The Nazi regime in Germany during World War II is perhaps the most well-known for using art as a form of propaganda. This form of art was, and continues to be, an effective tool because certain images are comforting to people. This helps them to identify with the leader at hand. In this case, the German government believed people had to be conditioned to the point of complete and total acceptance of their leader, even to the ...

Two offensive operations undertaken by Germany in Ardennes at the beginning and at the end of the WWII in Europe were conceived and executed under very different conditions and resulted in a totally opposite outcome. The 1940 campaign against the allies was an undisputed triumph of the German Blitzkrieg concept. The 1945 offensive was a desperate and illogical move of a leader that had lost touch with reality. The outcome of both actions was pre-determined by the preceding political, military and economic events. The leadership on both sides played an important role as well. Overall, it is safe to ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

Autonomous State vs. State of Agency

Two opinionated states of affairs, “state of autonomy” and “state of agency” are positioned in distinction to each other as both are entirely dissimilar from each other. The difference in both the state of affairs typically takes place by methodology implemented by the government and perception of the general public about these two supremacy systems. With the initiation of the 19th century, autonomous and state of the agency came into view as a two system of domination.
As it is explained in chapter 15 that Hitler and his policies had disturbed the lives of common Germans, his follower's Nazis ...

Introduction: The Historical Backdrop

The Battle of Normandy, that was codenamed Operation Overlord, primarily involved the landing of American and British troops along with their western allies, who landed on the Normandy coast on June 6, 1944 during World War II . The aim of this extensive operation was to transport infantry men, military artillery and supplies across the English Channel to France, which was to become the origin point for the Allied invasion of Western Europe, then controlled by Hitler’s German troops.
Despite the lack of landing harbors at Normandy that would complicate the docking of the vessels upon their arrival at ...

When someone hears the word hero, it brings a feeling of respect. Each country has its heroes and honors them, perpetuating their names in books, movies and memorials, composing songs about them and their idealized images. But there are some heroes that are unreal and were composed by people with certain purposes and during a certain period of time. One of them is World War II that brought not only destruction, but also creation. It is a turning point it the world of comics, as many of the iconic heroes began in WWII period and are still popular with ...

Introduction

The Watchmen is a film that is based on an American epic set in a rather alternate non-fictitious and that narrowly tends to mirror the current world especially the world of the 1980s. The chief differentiating factor just lies in the existence of some superheroes as part and parcel of the film production. A single point of diversion in the plot tentatively takes place somewhere in the early years. The existence and involvement of the superheroes in this American version is portrayed to dramatically affecting as well as altering the forthright outcome of the well-known real-world occurrences inclusive of ...

Warfare Technology and the Human Experience

Advanced technologies alter the human experience in warfare. Improved technology is supposed to make the war effort more precise and make the experience obsolete. This is however not the the case. Changes in technology have historically shown how dangerous wars can be and how difficult the human experience can be. The nuclear bomb was supposed to end all great power wars. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II proved that not all technologies were good for humankind. In the 21st century fight against terrorism, it has become more difficult to identify the enemy and hence ...

Sadly a holocaust is still possible. There have been two events since the |Holocaust of World War two which show that humanity’s ability to hate and kill each other in a systematic way is still possible. All over the world different groups hate each other, based on centuries' old prejudice – often to do with racial or religious differences: until we start to see that, as human beings, we have more in common with each other than we have differences. I think a Holocaust involving Jews is less likely because of the economic and military power of the state of Israel, but ...

Wagner starts his argument with referring to generally acknowledged dislike for Jews, noticed among people worldwide. The author defines it as “a rooted dislike of the Jewish nature” (Wagner 79). At the beginning of the article, the author claims this dislike to be almost completely irrespective of Arts, and Music as the particular art form.
Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

The WWI was perpetuated by several reasons especially one regarding the fallout of European imperialism. Moreover, there were increased social class conflicts around the western world especially that revolving around the social class conflicts when Marxism was rising, and the Russian Revolution took place as well, which established the Soviet Union. A rising sense of Nationalism in Europe also rose from Marxism and the conflict of social class. Changes in the governmental structures also sparked WWI, when fascist and authoritarian governments grew in number. The effects of WWI caused the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire (Burlingham).

Mass conscription refers the compulsory recruitment of the public to military service. In other words, conscription refers to the ability of established authorities to influence and mobilize the armies and the public of conflicting powers to engage in wars with their rivals. The act dates back to the ancient times and it continues to date in some countries.

This type of influence has contributed to the outbreak ...

Why do people fight? The question presents a complex issue, which cannot be answered from a single dimension. There are numerous reasons why people show intolerance and unleash violence towards others. Some psychologists argue that war is prevalent in the communities because it brings positive psychological influences such as a sense of unity when the community is faced with a common threat. During the war, people are bound together, and individual citizens are inspired to conduct themselves honorably and unselfishly to achieve a greater good. Individuals, communities, and groups fight for different reasons, such as to address their insecurities ...

The seeds of totalitarian ideologies were primarily planted by Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-78) during the French Revolution, in his criticism of private property. He promoted egalitarian and communal ownership of property. Francois Noel Babeuf (1760-97) another Frenchman believed ignorant masses have “to be organized to be made aware of their own interests and rights” (Kreis. The History Guide) by military means; those in power were justified in using “terror against the people, for the people’s own good” (Kreis). Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia were “both clearly totalitarian in practice” (Adams).
National Socialism under Adolf Hitler is a prime ...

If death is really true, based upon the animistic quality of our five physical senses, then how do we know that we are truly alive and breathing and not in a dream? It has been proposed that people who are aware of the existence of their surroundings mostly rely on their five senses, which may cause illusions. The ethereal yet grounded theory of existentialism provides the landscape for a more positively-identified pathway which reaches across the separation that exists among humans.
           When thinking about the quote ‘existence precedes essence’, the concept lends room for credibility that Morrie was right ...

Cloning is the propagation of a cell or an organism as a clone of another. A series of successful historical landmarks in genetic engineering that began as early as 1885 when a sea urchin was used to demonstrate artificial embryo twinning by Hans Adolf and Edward Dreisch lead to cloning as we know it when the first mammal was successfully cloned in 1996. The clone named Dolly brought to light the possibilities of cloning. In 2013, the greatest landmark was reached, and Human Embryonic stem cells were created through somatic cell nuclear transfer (Roleff 19).

The film shows an accurate depiction of actual historic events that took place in 1942 during the Wannsee conference. This is the conference responsible for the ‘final solution of the Jewish question’ during the World War II (Roseman, 2002 p.11). The meeting meant to find an implementation strategy for Adolf Hitler’s policy of eliminating the growing population of Jews. Hitler believed that Germany should be free of Jews, and the Nazi government committed itself to finding the most effective strategy to eliminate the Jews.
The conference, therefore, featured top Nazi government officials actively involved in solving the ‘Jewish ...

The Use and Abuse of History in the Recent Ukrainian Crisis

A revisiting of Ukraine's geography and historical narrative would clearly shed light on the recent Ukrainian crisis and how the turmoil and sentiment in the Orange Revolution and the 2014 confrontation originate from a long history of struggle over the delicate status of Ukraine between East and West. Through the correct use of history, one would understand that history drew the dividing lines and spurred the conflict that spanned centuries. Eastern Ukraine was occupied by Russian imperialism in the 1800s, followed by Western Ukraine. This provides an explanation of the reason Eastern Ukrainians have largely remained loyal to politicians ...

Mission, covenant, and salvation not only demonstrate the common grounds between Christians and Jews but also illustrate the many challenges that remain unresolved. The Christian-Jews relationship remains a major cause of debate and divergent opinions over the identity of God’s people. Some people believe that today’s Church consists of God’s new people while others maintain that Jews God’s chose people; therefore, they are most valued. Both Christians and Jews consider themselves as the true descendants of Israel. The Church also believes that it is the true Israel and should partake in the various biblical promises ...

Fascism and Nazism are at most times used interchangeably due to their similarities. However, there are vast differences between the two. The similarities that they share are that they both do not put any value to Liberalism and democracy. While Nazism took place in Germany by Hitler, fascism originated from Italy under Mussolini. Nazism was more racial and thought of the Aryan race as superior to any other (Prabhat, para 4). The ideology they followed was guided by pure hatred of people that were not their race. Unlike Fascism, which believed more on social class, Nazism aimed at unity ...

The main difference between the visions of Judaism of Reform and Orthodox Denomination of Judaism is their approach to Torah. The Orthodox Judaism believes that Torah came directly from God. These five books, according to the orthodox can never be changed. They even believe that the teaching should be taken the way they are and there should not be an attempt to interpret them. To them the books contain the law and God is the giver of law. The God-given law should therefore be understood literally without any interpretation, (Eilberg-Schwartz, 2012).
