Hilter

Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party. He rose to power in Germany in the 1930s, becoming Chancellor in 1933 and Führer in 1934. Hitler's ideology was based on extreme nationalism, racial antisemitism, and a belief in the superiority of the Aryan race.

His policies led to the systematic persecution and murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust, as well as Roma, homosexuals, disabled people, political opponents, and other groups deemed "undesirable." Hitler initiated World War II in Europe by invading Poland in 1939. His aggressive foreign policy and military campaigns resulted in widespread destruction and immense loss of life across the globe.

Under his totalitarian regime, Germany experienced significant militarization and territorial expansion. The Nazi Party exerted strict control over all aspects of German society. Hitler's vision for a Greater German Reich ultimately collapsed with the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. He died by suicide in his bunker in Berlin as Soviet forces closed in. His actions and ideology remain a subject of intense historical study and condemnation.
