Youssof AshmawyBlock May 418, 2014How Much Did Hitler's Ideologies Help On April 20, 1889, a young Austrian boy named Adolf Hitler was born. In September 1919, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, which would later become known as the Nazi Party. In 1921, Hitler was named leader of the Nazi Party. These events would all lead to Hitler becoming Chancellor of Germany. But what factors played a role in his rise to power and to what extent did his ideologies play a role in this? Hitler believed that communism was Germany's main enemy. In one of his speeches, Hitler said that "the communists seek to destroy our country." In doing so, he was trying to show how he believed that communism should be eliminated from the country and that this would help lead the country on the right path to regain its former glory. Hitler believed in National Socialism, also known as Nazism. Nazism supported the master race, also known as the Aryan master race. Additionally, German Nazis supported theories of racial hierarchies and social Darwinism. They worked to eliminate capitalism and communism because they were associated with Jewish materialism. Hitler had many ideologies or social beliefs. One of the most well-known beliefs is said to be his deep hatred towards Jews. Hitler always hated the Jews and felt that they should be held responsible for everything that was wrong in Germany. He even believed that the Jews were responsible for all the poverty in Germany and that all the evil came from the Jews. He demonstrated this hatred by killing and burning approximately 6 million Jews during the war. Hitler was one of those who believed in the “master race.” The master race was any German who had blond hair... middle of paper... a strong leader who would give them what they wanted. Hitler took advantage of this and started spreading his ideologies through his speeches. Hitler's ideologies played an important, but small, role in bringing him to power. Of course, without them, Hitler would not have been able to rise to power, but what gave him the opportunity to spread his ideologies was the economic depression. Think of it this way: there is a person with great skills and with these great skills he could help the people of his country and with them he could become powerful. The problem is that there is a locked door between him and the people. In this case the key to open the door would be economic depression and the person's skills would be Hitler's ideologies. Hitler's ideologies were important because they made the German people accept him as their leader..
