A door is featured in the coat-of-arms the family acquired. Albrecht Dürer the Younger later changed "Türer", his father's diction of the family's surname, to "Dürer", to adapt to the local Nuremberg dialect. Albrecht Dürer the Elder married Barbara Holper, the daughter of his master, when he himself became a master in 1467.

Koberger's most famous publication was the Nuremberg Chronicle, published in 1493 in German and Latin editions.

Fascist Italy and Nazi German Fascism was among the forces that were produced during the 19th century. It emerged in Italy in the year 1919 and it catapulted Benito Mussolini who was the leader into premiership after three years and it lead to the creation of new political dictatorship which started in 1925. Fascism aimed at combining the strong nationalism with an aggressive style of activism characterized by anti-materialism, idealism and violence. According to the scholars, there was both left and right influences on fascism as a social movement. On the other hand, Nazism is a term referring to a political ideology and the regime of Adolf Hitler which was in power in Germany since 1933 to 1945.

His book, The Origins of the Final Solution focuses on Nazi policy towards the Jews from September 1939-March 1942. Browning agrees with Hilberg and ads, that the combination of anti-Semitism with a power struggle among middle-level bureaucrats within the Nazi hierarchy caused immense pressure for an escalation of Nazi policy toward the Jews leading to the “Final Solution.” In addition to the seemingly endless debate, some historians argue about the timing of the “Final Solution” or the exact moment the Nazis made the decision. One of these historians is Professor Richard Breitman. Breitman teaches at Harvard University and also currently works as Director of Historical Research for the federally funded Nazi War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group. Breitman contends that it is crucial for the historian to accurately determine the chronology of events leading to the decision in order to narrow whatever disagreements exists over its causes and motivations.
He found himself supporting the extremely Anti-Semitic beliefs of Anton Drexler. It was only a few weeks later that Hitler became a member of the party and was in charge of spreading the message to everyone about the German Workers Party. By the early 1920’s, Hitler was involved with drafting the party programme. This included looking at its list of beliefs, aims and objectives. Hitler then went onto changing the name of the party from the German Workers Party to the National Socialist German Workers Party but it was commonly known as the Nazi Party.
There is a certain degree of truth in such statement, for Hindenburg had played a considerable role in undermining the German democracy in his later presidential years, through appointing Adolf Hitler (1933) chancellor of Germany in spite of his awareness of Hitler’s dictatorial qualities, and invoking Article 48 under which the government no longer functioned democratically. Hindenburg’s biggest mistake was to make Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany in 1933, for this meant that an era of German elections and parliamentary life had come to an end, and an era of dictatorship and terror was soon to emerge. As the following evidence proves, Hindenburg was clearly aware that giving power to Hitler would be a vital step in the downfall of the Weimar Germany. In 1932, although the number of seats for the Nazis in Reichstag fell from 230 to 197, it still remained to be the largest Party. Von Papen therefore offered to bring Hitler into his new government by giving him the Vice-Chancellorship.
During the years of 1933 to 1945 Germany was ruled by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. When Hitler began his rise to prominence in beer houses and his early days in the party he set himself aims to achieve if he were to one day rules Germany. His aims were mainly patriotic aims for example make Germany a great nation once again and also to unite all German-speaking countries like Austria, however, he did have other aims such as; exterminate the Jews, this was because he and many others blamed the Jews for Germany’s decline during the first world war and also remove all those that were unfit, this meaning homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled unless you were physically disabled due to fighting in world war one and anyone else Hitler viewed as a threat to him or the Aryan race. This essay will look to what extent he was successful in achieving these aims. After Germany’s defeat in World War One Germany were made to sign the demoralizing and humiliating Treaty of Versailles where they would have to; accept responsibility for the war, pay reparations of $33 Billion, reduce their armed forces and they also lost much of their once great German Empire.
