...Hitler’s Influences Imagine creating a monster. Many people have wondered what must have happened to Adolf Hitler to have made him such an awful man. Hitler was most affected by his parents, Georg von Schönerer and Karl Lueger, and Benito Mussolini of Italy. First, Hitler was affected by his parents, Alois and Klara. Hitler went into “2 years of depression and lived in a homeless shelter after blowing all the money his parents had left for him,” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 2017). He experienced depression when he was rejected from an art school, which happened shortly after his mother died when he was 17. After being rejected from two different art schools, Adolf spent all his money on the glamorous life that he wished he had, but instead he ended in deeper waters than intended. He had no one to guide and love him, so he went on to meet unfortunate people that only helped build the monster. In addition, Hitler was also affected by Georg von Schönerer and Karl Lueger. These men “taught him about anti-semitism, pan-Germanism, and the basic skills and dogma to overtake the Nazi party,” (Hummel 2013). This means he learned to be prejudice against Jews, to get all Europeans to speak German, and how to overthrow the Nazi party and become the overall ruler. For example, the idea of...

...Hitler was a manipulative politician, who realized to survive as a leader he had to distance himself from such events like mass murders (source #5).

Hitler was a baptized Catholic who was born on 4/20, 1889 in Upper Austria. In 1898, Hitler’s family moved to Linz, seeking a career in visual arts.

Growing up Hitler had very few contact with Jewish people, even though people thought he came from a Jewish father-- there was never any proof of a Jewish descent. After a year of living in Vienna, Hitler had frittered away his inheritance left for him by his parents. He was reluctant to moving in with relatives and family friends because they wanted him to start a career in the civil service, just like his father. Overtime he ran out of resources and income and had to paint watercolor scenes of Vienna for business to just get by. Hitler...

...better place. The story of Hitler, however, is not one of those. He caused so many deaths that there is no certain number that someone can give. There are only estimates, all of them being in the millions. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria, and was the fourth of six children (Miller). Him and his family moved around quite often when he was a small child (Miller), but that was before his father died in 1903, and then his mother four years after (“Adolf Hitler”). Moving around a lot meant moving schools as well. He was a very bright student for most of his years, until he ended up failing the sixth grade (Miller). Hitler...

...Life Span Development and Personality Paper Life Span Development and Personality Paper Faith L. Mayo Axia College of University of Phoenix Life Span Development and Personality Paper Adolf Hitler was a famous individual from the 20th century; his story has been well known for many years and will continue to spread through time as it was a memorable part of our history. He was the founder and leader of the Nazi party from 1933-1945 (Wistrich, 1997). His father was Alois Hitler, who was an authoritarian disciplinarian. He was strongly attached to his mother Klara Poelzl, she was a strong woman and a very hard worker. Once she passed away from cancer, Adolf Hitler began to show signs of moodiness, temperamental, and not willing to work (Wistrich, 1997). He moved to Vienna in 1907 and applied to Viennese Academy of Fine Arts, which he was rejected. This was the final turning point for Adolf Hitler. According to the Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team; in 1913, Hitler moved to Munich to join the Sixteenth Bavarian Infantry Regiment, serving as a despatch runner. He was badly wounded and placed in gas chambers for four weeks. Once he was released, he had to recuperate in a hospital for three months (C.W. and CL Heart, 2007). Hitler believed this would be his fate; to punish those that had embarrassed him in front of his nation; the Jewish and the Bolsheviks. In 1919, Hitler started out with 40 members by his side and used the...

...much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many positive sides of Franco’s character. An alternative, contemporary view of the dictator, Franco: A Concise Biography written by Gabrielle Hodges focuses on the negative legacy of General Franco. This side of Franco rears its head in many other sources, including Hitler and Spain: The Nazi Role in the Spanish Civil War 936-939, a monograph by Robert H. Whealey. In it he focuses, as the title...

...Kaitlyn Daignault December 2, 2012 Research Paper Hitler and Mussolini The relationship between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini helped to instill fear throughout the rest of Europe through the 1930s and 1940s. The powerhouse duo was very similar in many ways including persuasion and public speaking; however they also had different key qualities to make them unique. Having risen to power years earlier during the 1920s, Benito Mussolini was the senior of the two, and an initial inspiration and mentor for a young Adolf Hitler. Mussolini’s ideas of a fascist Italy became a building block for Hitler and Nazi Germany. However, early on their relationship was not a good one as Mussolini saw himself as superior. Mussolini had little respect for Hitler and the Nazi Germany as a whole. He did not agree with Hitler’s beliefs regarding racialism and his desire of an Aryan race. As time continued Mussolini’s view of Nazi Germany and Hitler would change completely. As the Germans became the powerhouse of Europe, Mussolini was forced to take a backseat to Hitler throughout World War II. A young Benito Mussolini began his rise to power in Italy as early as 1918. It is then that he realized that in order for Italy to grow as a dominant force in Europe, a dictatorship was necessary. With his good looks and his persuasive speeches, a young Mussolini was able to gain the support of the Italian people. Although the content of his speeches was often incorrect, opinions contradictory...
