Explain how Hitler established a dictatorship in Germany from 30th January 1933 to August 1934 On the 30th of January of 1933, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany through the support of Hindenburg and Von Papen, two figures who had power but were lacking in popularity. With no one expecting him to succeed, he was severally underestimated and on the 24th of March 1933, the Enabling Act made Hitler a legal Dictator. Within the next year, opponents of Hitler were almost non-existent. By August 1934, Hitler had become the Supreme Leader (Fuhrer) of Germany. This essay will examine the main factors that enabled Hitler to create his empire and argue that all these factors accounted to the legality of his control over every aspect of Germany’s society, enabling Hitler to establish a dictatorship.
Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle’s plan to attack the Japan Empire was to use B-25 aircrafts to drop on Japan and then to land in China were there would be Chinese Aircrafts to help guide and refuel the B-25s to the Chongqing Chinese military base. The aircraft carrier could get away without being destroyed because the B-25s did not come back to land on it. The B-25s were to take off 450 miles away from the coast of Japan. On the morning of April 2 1942 the USS Hornet, left the safety of the United States to bomb Japan. The USS Hornet 71 Officers and 130 Enlisted men were aboard.
There were many factors to explain why Hitler became Chancellor. They all played their part and in 1933 Hitler become Chancellor but not as he had first planned. After the failure that was the Munich Putsch of 1923, Hitler realised that things needed to be done differently. Normally the leader of the party with the most votes in the Reichstag becomes Chancellor. In 1932 Hitler won 230 seats in the Reichstag, making the Nazi party the largest in the Reichstag automatically making Hitler Chancellor.
This triggered of a huge power struggle between von Papen and von Schleicher. Firstly von Schleicher is appointed Chancellor in December 1932. Then in January 1933 von Papen and Hitler have private talks in which von Papen says that he will make Hitler Chancellor and himself a member of the cabinet. Hitler agrees, but Hindenburg will not give Chancellorship to Hitler. Eventually, after von Schleicher resigns, Hitler is made Chancellor after von Papen persuades Hindenburg.
The aim of the “game” was to shoot down enemy aircraft before they could reach the carrier. The carrier would also zigzag to make itself a difficult target. 6. What was Japan’s main plan in seizing the Pacific? Japan
The war in Europe was ended, the Atomic Age began, the war with Japan was won, and the United Nations Charter was drafted. Harry Truman said, “Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed.” At this time, Truman realized that being president was not going to be an easy task. Some of the immediate problems Harry S. Truman faced during the first year of his presidency were ending the war in Europe, moving massive armies to the Pacific Ocean, completing arrangements of the United Nations Conference in San Francisco, and his most difficult problem, the dropping of the atomic bomb. Truman’s first night as president had him only concerned with the issues at the San Francisco Conference.
The island of Okinawa was the closest island to the Japanese mainland, and the last island battle. Many higher-ups believed that Okinawa could be seen as a trial for an invasion of Japan, yet before the native soil of Japan could be assaulted, atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To what extent did the Battle of Okinawa affect the U.S.’s decision to deploy the atomic bomb? The decision to drop the bomb was solely up to the President of the United States at that time, Harry S. Truman. With the bomb came advances in technology, the possibility to end millions of lives, and the beginnings of the Cold War.
The US at the time of the bombing of Hiroshima was led by Harry S. Truman, who had been pushed into the position of leadership by the death of Roosevelt. The bombing was almost three months to the day after the defeat of Germany in Europe. This date is of major significance when considering the relation between the dropping of the bomb and the affect on Russia, because of part of the agreements made at the Yalta Conference. This was a meeting of the "Big Three" – the Soviet Union, United States, and Great Britain - to discuss the plans for winning the war. At this conference, the Soviet Union promised to begin helping in the battle in the Pacific Theater three months after the defeat of Germany.
