I have been falling behind on my blog posts so I'll be posting a fair amount in the next few days. Today I'll be writing about Hitler's rise to power in Germany and how he helped form the Nazi party.
Hitler was one of many Germans who were angered by the surrender of Germany in 1918 in World War I, and they were upset by the treaty of Versailles which forced Germany to disarm and pay for damage caused by World War I. Hitler was very angry about the current state of the German government so he spent a lot of time studying the different political parties. One party that caught Hitlers attention was the Germany Workers' Party and he decided to become the leader of that party. Hitler was a great public speaker and he was able to get people excited by the ideas he had. He told them of how Germany had once been glorious and how Germany had a destiny of a supreme nation. One of the points that Hitler made that would define how people look back at him now is that he blamed Jews for most of Germany's problems. Hitler decided to rename the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP) it was commonly referred to as the Nazi Party. In July of 1921, Hitler was elected as the supreme leader of the Nazi Party and he had many plans for the future of Germany.
Hitler started his reign of terror right then, he went around forcing people to support his party with the threat of death. Hitler was arrested for his actions and sentenced for 5 years in prison. While he was in prison Hitler wrote a book that told of his plans for Germany. He called it Mein Kampf which means My Struggles. It would become a sort of rule book that the Nazi's followed. Hitler didn't stay in prison for the full 5 years. When he got out he still had the same goal, but he went about achieving it slightly different. Hitler worked his way up in the political world, using every little thing to his advantage he eventually became the Absolute Fuher, the most powerful and influential position in Germany. The age of Hitler had begun, he called it the Third Reich and claimed that it would last for the next thousand years.
