Based on my readings and research, I have found a little much about Adolf Hitler and some of the parts that he played in The World War Two. He was the Leader of the Nazi empire. The Nazi empire was created by violence, lived by violence, and destroyed by violence. The Nazi was the Germany and below are some of the interesting fact that I have collect to share with;
Most western statesmen had sufficient warning that Hitler was a threat to a general European peace, they failed to rally their people and take a stand until it was too late. In 1993, Hitler consolidated his power as chancellor through the Enabling Act and implemented his foreign policy objective. The objective clearly violated the provision of the Versailles Treaty. The aim was to make Germany the most powerful state in the Europe.
Hitler was a man possessed and driven by a fanaticism that saw his destiny as identical to Germany's. The propaganda machine that Hitler adopted, however, was perhaps the most important device at his disposal. With it he was able to successfully undermine his opponent's will to resist. And propaganda, after winning the minds of the German people, now became a most crucial instrument of German foreign policy as a whole. There were upwards of 27 million German people living outside the borders of the Reich. To force those 27 million into support for Hitler, the Nazis utilized their propaganda machine. For example, they made every effort to export anti-Semitism internationally, thus feeding off prejudices of other nations. Hitler also began to promote himself as Europe's best defence against Stalin, the Bolsheviks and the Soviet Union.
Hitler was a shrewd statesman. He anticipated, for instance, that the British and French would back down the moment they were faced with his direct and willful violations of Versailles. He knew that any threat of war would drive the Anglo-French into a defensive posture. The reason for this should be pretty clear, Britain and France would have done anything to avoid another conflict and this defensive position managed to win a vote of confidence from public opinion.
Hitler needed a strong army to realize his war aims. According to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty, the Germany army was to be limited to 100,000 soldiers. The size of the navy was limited as well. Germany was also forbidden to produce military aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery. The General Staff was dissolved. These were harsh provisions. The Germany get into this condition because in March 1935, Hitler declared that Germany was no longer bound by the provisions of the Versailles Treaty. He began conscription and built up the air force. France protested, weakly, and Britain negotiated a naval agreement with the Germans. One year later, on March 7, 1936, Hitler marched his troops into the Rhineland, a clear violation of Versailles. His generals cautioned Hitler that such a move would provoke an attack. Again, Hitler judged the Anglo-French response correctly. The British and French took no action. The British sat back. The French saw the re militarization of the Rhineland as a grave threat to their security. With 22,000 German soldiers standing along the French border. The French Didn't act because first, the French would not act alone and Britain offered no help at this point. Second, the French over-estimated German forces who marched into the Rhineland. Again, their posture was decidedly defensive. And lastly, French public opinion was strongly opposed to any confrontation with Hitler.
