🎬 Adolf Hitler: A Short Biography
Introduction
Adolf Hitler was a German political leader who became one of the most infamous figures in world history. As the dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, he was responsible for World War II and the Holocaust, events that caused the deaths of tens of millions of people.
Early Life
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary. As a young man, he dreamed of becoming an artist and even applied to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, but he was rejected.
During his years in Vienna, Hitler developed strong nationalist and anti-Semitic beliefs that would later shape his political ideology.
World War I
In 1913, Hitler moved to Germany. When World War I began in 1914, he joined the German army and served as a soldier. Germany’s defeat in 1918 deeply affected him. He blamed Germany’s problems on political leaders and minority groups, especially Jews — beliefs that later became central to his propaganda.
Rise to Power
After the war, Hitler joined a small political group that later became the Nazi Party. He quickly rose to leadership because of his powerful speeches and ability to influence crowds.
In 1923, he attempted a failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch and was imprisoned. While in prison, he wrote Mein Kampf, outlining his extreme nationalist and racist ideology.
In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Soon after, he established a dictatorship, banning other political parties and controlling the government, media, and military.
World War II
In 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, starting World War II. The conflict spread across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Under his leadership, Nazi Germany conquered much of Europe before eventually being pushed back by Allied forces including Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
The Holocaust
One of the darkest chapters of Hitler’s rule was the Holocaust — the systematic murder of six million Jews, along with millions of others including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political opponents. Concentration camps such as Auschwitz became symbols of unimaginable cruelty.
Downfall and Death
By 1945, Allied forces had surrounded Germany. As Soviet troops closed in on Berlin, Hitler retreated to his bunker. On April 30, 1945, he died by suicide.
Germany surrendered shortly after his death, ending World War II in Europe.
