Many factory jobs were created to produce supplies to fuel German militarism Hitler rebuilt the Nazi economy which made Germans trust and adore him Nazi Imperialism Hitler wanted to control more than just Nazi Germany He wanted Germany to be the center of an empire like ancient Rome Nazi Germany made new alliances with Italy and Japan; they called themselves the Axis Powers Germany invaded other countries to build their lebensraum which means “living space” Germany took over land in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Greece, and Yugoslavia Germany took over almost ALL of Europe by 1940 The Nazi Swastika History of the Symbol: It is an ancient religious symbol found in Eastern Religions. It is still widely used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. However, due to its association with Nazism it is no longer accepted in the Western world. The Nazi Party and the Swastika: The Nazi Party adopted the swastika in 1920. This was used on the party's flag, badge, and armband. When Hitler created a flag for the Nazi Party, he sought to incorporate both the swastika and the colors red, white, and black, which were the colors of the flag of the old German Empire. On March 14, 1933, shortly after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany, the NSDAP flag was hoisted alongside Germany's national colors. It was adopted as the sole national flag on September 15, 1935 To the Nazi’s, the Swastika = the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man Today, this symbol is outlawed in Germany because of the horrors it represents The Aryan Race The Nazis used the term "Aryan race" to refer to what they saw as being a master race of people of northern European descent (generally blond hair and blue eyed, always white) . The Nazi wanted their Aryan race to be “pure”. In order to do that they made laws that controlled who was allowed to have children. Here are some examples of the laws: o banned interracial dating and marriage o mandatory sterilization (surgeries that stop people from having children) of mentally ill and mentally deficient people o the execution of the institutionalized mentally ill people This led to the mass killings of anyone that was not considered part of the Aryan Race. Example is the murder of 6 million Jews. A depiction of the "pure Aryan" family on the cover of the 1938 calendar published by Neues Volk, the magazine of the Nazi Party's Race Political Office. English Translation of the poster on the right: 60,000 Franks - This is what this person suffering from hereditary defects costs the Community of Germans during his lifetime Fellow Citizen, that is your money, too (Hint: This poster is promoting the killing or sterilization of anyone with disabilities because they use up too much government tax money) Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was responsible for starting World War II and for killing more than 11 million people during the Holocaust. Also Known As: Führer (Father) of the Third Reich Hitler as an Artist: Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist, so in 1907 he applied to the painting school at the Vienna Academy of Art. He did not pass the entrance exam so he spent the next four years in Vienna, Switzerland thinking about politics… Hitler Serves in WWI: Hitler quickly proved to be a courageous soldier. In 1918, a gas attack caused him to go temporarily blind. While in the hospital, Hitler heard that WWI ended and that Germany lost. He felt anger and feelings of betrayal. Hitler Comes to Power in Germany: By July 1932, Hitler had enough support to run for president of Germany. After legally gaining power in Germany, Hitler quickly began gaining more power by killing people that disagreed with him. He also used propaganda that strengthened German pride by blaming all their problems on Communists and Jews. Adolf Hitler Hitler Starts World War II: Hitler quickly took April 20, 1889 – April 30 - 1945 over Austria and Poland in 1939, which led to the beginning of World War II. During this war he would kill over 6 million Jews and many others that he felt were not part of the “Aryan Race”. The End of Hitler: After writing his last will and political testament on April 29, 1945, Adolf Hitler and his bride Eva Braun committed suicide together in their bunker. Hitler wrote a book about his thoughts about a new Germany, which was titled Mein Kampf or My Struggle.
