Hitler’s aim was to influence the nations spiritually on the behalf of the State and gain devoted followers on his side. He was not only focusing on manipulating the Germans within the country but as well those abroad, which he
Hitler instead blamed many others, mainly the Wemiar and the Jews, this also gained popularity with the people of Germany. The treaty of Versailles also stipulated that Germany must demiliterize, resulting in alot of soliders without jobs. With large unemployment people are more likely to take more radical views as they get more desperate, Hitler used this to his advantage. The treaty of Versailles was a major cause to Hitlers rise to power. Another major cause that resulted in Hitlers rise to power was the Weimar democracy.
We might not know it, but or new might be controlled by the government in order to keep order. The crimes people commit and the punishment they recieve might be advertising what we shouldn't do as a society. Which would mean that Orwell's telescreen and our modernday televisions might have the same dark purpose only that our's is concealed with entertainment. Orwell's vision had cometrue, in one way or another, an example in histoy is Nazis Germany. They also changed their documented history in order to seem that the German Knights had wanted a Third Reich.
Some historians say it was the consent and willingness of the German people that took him to Fuhrer but there are other strong arguments such as the Enabling Law, the demolishment of other political parties and trade unions, his agreements with the church, media and industrialists and the Night of the Long Knives. One of the main reasons Hitler was able to come into power was the consent from the German people. Without their willingness to believe and back Hitler, he wouldn’t have been able to gain any real momentum. On the 5th of March in 1933 the Nazis increased their vote from 33.1% to 43.9%, securing them 288 seats. One of the ways Hitler got the backing of the German people was by telling them what they wanted to hear.
Though it wasn't the only key element in the maintenance of power, Nazi Government also used other factors including; fear and the success Hitler turning Germany socio-economy around. Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry controlled newspapers, radio and film in Germany. And their control was furthered extended into music, theatre, literature, art, architecture and sports when the Reich Chamber of Culture was established in his ministry. It was through his control of the media he was able to produce different mediums of propaganda and convey Nazi Ideology. These views included, anti-Semitism, anti-Communism and racial purity, while also enhancing Hitler's image (otherwise known as the fuehrer myth), and make the Volksgemeinschaft more appealing.
Gildea begins his novel appropriately at the onset of the German occupation. On June 18, 1940 General Charles de Gaulle broadcasted to the French people that they had laid down their arms to the Germans. Although it was understood, by both the French and Germans, that all resistance was to cease, there was still some skepticism on the German side that this was going to happen. In order to gain control early on in the occupation the Germans laid out certain crimes that were subject to martial law, including assisting any non-German soldiers in occupied territory. One example of the issues that was a source of complication for French and German authorities early on in the occupation was the struggle between them over the appointment and dismissal of mayors.
Soon enough, the German Worker's Party was changed to National Socialist German Worker's Party (NAZI). For the party's platform, Hitler created the twenty-five points that concerned nullifying the Treaty of Versailles, revoking civil rights for Jews, confiscating war profits, and seizing land by decision of state. The party also gave him an opening of populating himself and some of his talents were exposed. He discovered himself as an excellent public speaker who managed to persuade the Germany people of the oppression they were going through because of the
He wanted to keep world peaceful and he believed that peace is very important. The terms of agreement with Hitler stated that Hitler is not going to use force to take control and Chamberlain agreed that Sudetenland should be annexed to Germany. Chamberlain was an honest man and assumed that others were too. He believed in what Hitler promised and that the peace will finally come to Europe as Germany will not be threatening other countries anymore. Chamberlain started to respect Hitler and thought he was telling the true in fact he was lying.
An example of this was the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936. Britain and France allowed him to do this and the British released a statement saying Hitler was simply, ‘marching into his back yard.’ This policy taught Hitler that aggression paid off. More importantly, Appeasement scared Stalin. Stalin was the dictator in the U.S.S.R. His army were not advanced enough to stand a chance against even a small German army and he feared Britain and France would not help the Soviets if the Germans invaded them. This therefore led to him signing the Nazi-Soviet pact.
Just as the Treaty was a constant reminder to Germany’s defeat in World War I, Hitler believed communism was the reason for the loss, leaving him gripped to the possibility of potential ‘communist takeover’ of Germany. He despised this, leaving him determined to defeat communism, in which he stated “It will be the duty of German foreign policy to get large spaces to feed and house the growing population of Germany”. Hitler’s foreign policy was the backbone to the actions and changes he wished to make. In this essay, I will describe and analyze how successful Hitler’s foreign policy was, by examining the events and actions that took place, up until 1938. I believe Hitler’s foreign policy was a success up until 1938 as he was fearless to continue with his aims – one of which was abolishing the Treaty of Versailles.
