Adolf Hitler


World War I

A

dolf Hitler began his life with artistic aspirations and a critical father. This awkward loner relied on hate and ambition to rise to Fuhrer in Germany. Few men in modern history can be credited with achieving the great power and instigating the unthinkable atrocities that Hitler committed in his lifetime. Hitler’s initial goal was to reverse Germany’s failures after World War I, but his hate and thirst for conquest only destroyed the Fatherland and led Germany into fifty years of violent division.
