The document summarizes key events in Hitler's rise to power in Germany, including his failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, imprisonment and writing of Mein Kampf. It then discusses the economic crisis that helped Hitler rise politically, his appointment as Chancellor in 1933, and his consolidation of power by banning other parties and establishing the SS and Gestapo. Domestically, Hitler pursued racist policies and persecuted Jews, homosexuals, and others. His foreign policy aimed to expand German territory through annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, and he increasingly clashed with Poland over territory.

man and changed by man ”
Adolf Hitler

21. • Lebensraum
• Anschluss
• Repudiation of
Treaty of
Versailles
(TOV)
Foreign Policy
Aims

22. Foreign Policy Aims

( Aimed at invading Russia )

control ( Esp: Austria )
 Repudiation of TOV- Get snatched teratory back

 TOV; Free city but economically incorporated with
poland.
 Formation of Nazi Party in free city of Danzing
 Municipal Elections of 1933
 Nazi party secured majority of the votes
 Formation of Nazi government in Denzing.

25. Non Aggression pact with
Poland-1934
 Catalyst for the Polish act : Feared might of the Fuhrer
 Catalyst for the Fuhrer : Not in a position of launching
offensive attack
 Ten Years Non – Aggression Pact between Warsaw and
Berlin signed in 1934.

26. Saar selects Germany - 1935

TOV : Handed over to LON for a period of 15 years

29. THEN FOLLOWED
The Cacophonic Catestrophy Creating
Countless Calamities for the Contemporary
and Coming generations.

31. Personality analysis
• A different perspective – Hitler a jolly personality.

32. Religious Tolerance
• Yes ! Hitler`s policy was based on Racism, but he
was not a Racist – He wanted to revive the lost
glory of German race , he did not want the
extinction of other races.

33. International Dimension
Why Hitler was Anti – Jew ? ( Holocaust )
Horrors of past : “ Stab in the back ” – Hitler
THE DEAL : German Jews promised England to get
USA into the war if England promised to get them the
land in the middle of Palestine.

34. Domestic Dimension
• Jews were spreading Social evils in to German
society
Immorality and Dacadance
First homosexual Play was made in Berlin in 1920s
First Adultery theater play was made in Berlin

35. “ Hitler is often portrayed as the sole supervisor of the
the events that shaped the framework of world war two ”
Henry Kissenger , Diplomacy.
 Whether it is true or not – is a matter of great debate.
 Two Views:
i, Was it Hitler`s war ?
ii, Was it appeasement led war ?

36. May be , if we look at his ;
 Authoritarianism
 Arms and ammunition build up
 Military build up
 Repudiation of Treaty of Versailles
 Expansionism = Lebensraum and Anschluss

37. • May not be, for the following reasons;
• Gustave Stresemann, German Foreign Minister after WW1,
had already stated what later on came to be Hitler`s foreign
policy principles.
• “ There is no justification for the continued existence of
Poland, there should be a greater Germany in central Europe ”
J. W. Purde , The Origins of the Second
World War
• So, if not by Hitler then by some one else, but repudiation of
TOV was inevitable.

38. Up till 1939, German Economy was not a war economy
In 1936, First step was taken to expand weapon industry.
Hitler did not want a world war.
PROOF: VIDEO – Secret Documents.

39. • As it takes two hands to make a clap , similarly it takes two
actors to launch a war.
The Policy of Appeasement :
• “ The policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler`s Germany
eased the situation for German repudiation of Treaty of
Versailles and her ultimate entangling in World War Two. ”
Henry Kissinger, Diplomacy.

40. • ENGLAND
 Had no any ally in Pacific
region
 Could not afford war at any
cost
• FRANCE
 Can be best described as
Pessimistic Realist – Didn`t
consider TOV as unjust
document.
 Great Depression 1929 –
Economic crisis, Poverty and
political instability.

41.  Poland`s attrocities on Germans of Denzing.
 Fuhrer`s demand of Danzing and Polish corridor
 Hitler – Stalin pact
 Hitler Mussolini pact

42. CONCLUSION: Whether Hitler
OR Appeasement Policy ?
• Nicely Defined By J.W.Purde in his Book – Origins Of
the Second World War.
“ Another German Government would have probably
achieved it more slowly. Hitler`s contribution was both to
speed up the process, rob it of any shred of diplomatic
decency and stumble into war with Britain and France in
the Final Stage. ”
YES ! He caused the war ; not by his Intentions but my his
means to achieve the ends.

43. THEN FOLLOWED
The Cacophonic Catestrophy Creating
Countless Calamities for the Contemporary
and Coming generations.

44. Death as Downfall
30th April, 1945
