Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in the small town of Braunau am Inn, Austria, the son of Alois and Clara Hitler. His early days were characterized by tensions with his father, particularly strict and dominant. However, his mother was deeply used and loved him. As a little boy, Hitler fought in school and showed his almost academic skills and early interest in art. When he did not obtain the Academy of Art in Vienna and led him into an era of poverty and despair, his ambition to become a painter was destroyed.

It was in Vienna that Hitler first came across the idea that would shape his future. He became increasingly disillusioned by political and social landscapes, developing a powerful nationalist mood and anti-God view. Young Hitler believed that the Jews were responsible for many societal illnesses, including the battles he faced. These ideas will be centrally important to his later political ideology.

1913 Hitler moved to Munich, where he wanted a fresh start. However, World War I soon broke out, and Hitler joined the infantry in the Bavarian Reserve. During the war, he served as a messenger in front of him, where he was injured twice. War was a transformational experience for him. Germany's defeat in 1918 made him bitter and annoying. He condemned the dedication to German domestic traitors, especially Jews and Communists, who in time claimed that they undermined their war effort.

After the war, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party in 1919. His eloquent skills quickly drove him to the party. He promoted extreme nationalism, anti-semism and the need for Germany to regain its early fame. Hitler spoke about the masses and used the frustration of German people who suffered from the difficult circumstances and economic instability of the postwar Treaty of Versailles.

1923 attempted to overthrow the Bavarian government at So-Called Beer Hall Putsch. The coup failed, and Hitler was arrested. During his prison sentence, he wrote my battle (my battle) and outlined his vision for Germany. In the book, he expressed his belief in the superiority of the Aryan breed and found plans for territorial expansion, including the conquest of Eastern Europe and the extinction of Jews. After his release, Hitler focused on the reconstruction of the Nazi Party and the spread of radical views across Germany.

The existence of the 1930s Germany's global economic crisis and Hitler's embassy came with the population. He promised to restore Germany's size, create jobs and reverse the economic difficulties of that time. Until 1933, Hitler received sufficient political support to be appointed Prime Minister of Germany. When he was in power, he quickly moved to unite his authority. The Parliament in 1933 gave him the pretext of exposing bourgeois freedom and arresting his political enemies.

The Hitler government quickly became a dictatorship. He eliminated political opposition, established a totalitarian state, and began implementing his radical politics. Jews, Rome, the disabled and other minorities were persecuted, and soon the horrifying reality of the Holocaust emerged. Millions of people were sent to concentration camps, and millions were systematically murdered to free Europe from Jews and other "unwanted" groups.

1939 led Hitler's aggressive foreign policy to the Polish invasion, causing the beginning of World War II. When Germany expanded its territory, the war devoured Europe and the world that followed. The German victory won early in the war, but the tide continued to spin until 19

3. Allies began to push back, and Germany was inevitable. From April 19 5, Soviet and allied forces joined Berlin. Hitler, hiding in an underground bunker, refused to occur. On April 30th, he committed suicide and concluded the reign of one of the most devastating dictators in history. Germany appeared soon after, and the war in Europe ended.

Hitler's legacy is unprecedented destruction. His actions led to the deaths of millions, the collapse of Germany and the redesign of the world order. The horrors of the Holocaust he coordinated continue to be one of the darkest chapters of human history. His rise in power serves as a strong memory of the dangers of extremism, unidentified authority, and the consequences of hatred ideology.
