After the passing of his mother in 1907, Adolf, at the age of nineteen decided to move to Vienna where the Academy of Fine Arts was located. Adolf applied for the art school twice, but was rejected because the academy felt that he was lac

Once everything was settled, and Hitler had complete control, he focused on conquering territory. He began with Austria in March of 1938, and then on to Czechoslovakia in March of 1939. World War II began with the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. Hitler and his wife committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Germany surrendered seven days later.

Hitler focused his entire life on becoming that demi-God, he wanted power, he wanted control of something, and once he finally received his unlimited power, he ultimately let it destroy him. Hitler’s life story makes me reflect upon The Tragedy of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. In the beginning, he just wants more out of life. When he first gained power, he used it wisely, and pleased his country, but in the end, he wound up hurting many others while he slowly destroyed himself.

The loss of the war had a great affect on Germany and it’s people, there were millions that could not find work. With no official government in control of the country, Germany was in utter chaos. “A tremendous amount of political discontent existed.

During this time he was introduced to the German Worker’s Party, this was a small group that shared many of Hitler’s views. The small group discussed the country’s many problems, and how the Jews, communists, and others were threatening the master race.

Hitler also makes it very clear in his writings that a Democracy would never work. The only way that we would be able to save Germany would be through complete control with a dictatorship, and allowing Hitler to be the reining master. Machiavelli would applaud this man – Hitler uses deceit if he must, to sway people’s opinions, because he needs their votes, and when he becomes leader, he is cruel and feared.

king in natural ability and talent. Though the rejection crushed Adolf, he still considered himself an artist, and so he remained in Vienna and made himself a poor living by selling his paintings and drawings, he also did little odd jobs for anyone that was in need and willing to pay.

After spending nine months of his five-year term in jail, Hitler was released from prison. He slowly began to rebuild his Nazi party, and after discussing things with the government, and swearing that he would act legally, the government granted him permission of his party, and lifted its ban on Nazis. “Inflation in the 1920s followed by the worldwide depression that emerged during the 1930s allowed Hitler to gain tremendous support. Germany had undergone great economic
