1. NAZISM & RISE OF HITLER

2. Nazism
 Nazism, commonly known as National Sociunder Adolf Hitler; and the policies adopted by the
government of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, a period also known as the Third Reich. The
alism : refers primarily to the ideology and practices of the Nazi Party official name of the party
was National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The Nazis were one of several historical groups
that used the term National Socialism to describe themselves, and in the 1920s they became the
largest such group. Nazism is generally considered by scholars to be a form of fascism, and while
it incorporated elements from both political wings, it formed most of its temporary alliances on
the political right. Among the key elements of Nazism were anti - parliamentarism, ethnic
nationalism, racism, collectivism, eugenics, antisemitism, opposition to economic liberalism and
political liberalism, anti-communism, and totalitarianism.
 Nazism was not a monolithic movement, but rather a (mainly German) combination of various
ideologies and groups, sparked by anger at the Treaty of Versailles and what was considered to
have been a Jewish/Communist conspiracy to humiliate Germany at the end of the First World
War.

4. Hitler
 Adolf was a German politician who was the leader of
the Nazi Party Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Born in Austria in 1889, Adolf Hitler rose to power in
German politics as leader of the National Socialist German
Workers Party, also known as the Nazi Party. Hitler was
chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, serving as a
dictator for the bulk of his time in power. He moved to
Germany in 1913 and was decorated during his service in
the German Army in World War I. He joined the German
Workers' Party (DAP), the precursor of the NSDAP, in
1919 and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921.

5. The Nazi Party’s Rise to Power: 1928-1933
In 1928 Hitler’s Nazi Party
were a small, insignificant
party. They enjoyed little
success in elections and were
viewed as little more than
thugs by the political elite. By
1933 however Hitler was the
chancellor of Germany. The
Nazi’s had risen from obscurity
to power, total power.

6. Continued....
 In 1923, Hitler planned to seize control of Bavaria, march to Berlin and capture
power. He failed, was arrested, tried for treason, and later released.
 The Nazis could not effectively mobilise popular support till the early 1930s. It was
during the Great Depression that Nazism became a mass movement. As we have
seen, after 1929, banks collapsed and businesses shut down, workers lost their jobs
and the middle classes were threatened with destitution. In such a situation Nazi
propaganda stirred hopes of a better future. In 1928, the Nazi Party got no more
than 2. 6 per cent votes in the Reichstag ñ the German parliament. By 1932, it had
become the largest party with 37 per cent votes.

7. Continued....
Hitler was a powerful speaker. His passion and
his words moved people.
He promised to build a strong nation, undo the
injustice of the Versailles Treaty and restore the
dignity of the German people.
He promised employment for those looking for
work, and a secure future for the youth. He
promised to weed out all foreign influences and
resist all foreign ‘conspiracies’ against Germany.

8. Expansion of Nazi Power 1943

9. The Destruction of Democracy
•The crimes that the Nazi’s committed
were linked to a system of belief and a set
of practices.
•Nazi Ideology was synonymous with Hitler’s Worldview.
•According to this, there was no equality between people, but only
a racial hierarchy.
•Hitler’s racism borrowed from thinkers like Charles Darwin and
Herbert Spencer.
•The other aspect of Hitler’s ideology related to the geopolitical
concept of Lebensraum, or living space.

10. Continued….
•Once in power, the Nazi’s quickly began to implement thier dream of creating an
exclusive racial community of pure Germans by physically eliminating all those who were
seen as ‘undesirable’ in the extended empire.
•Nazi’s wanted only a society of ‘pure and healthy Nordic Aryans’. They alone were
considered desirable. Only they were seen as worthy of prospering and multiplying against
all others who were classed as undesirable.
•This meant that even those Germans who were seen as impure or abnormal had no right
to exist.
•Jews remained the worst sufferers in Nazi Germany. Gypsies and blacks in living in Nazi
Germany were also treated as inferiors.

Triple Alliance
Triple Entente

14. Causes of World War 1
Militarism - policy of building up a strong military to prepare for war
Alliances – agreements between nations to provide aid and protect on another
Assassination – of Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand
Imperialism – when one country takes over another country economically and politically.
Nationalism – extreme pride in one’s country

15. Nationalism
At the settlement of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the principle of
nationalism was ignored in favor of preserving the peace. Germany and Italy
were left as divided states, but strong nationalist movements and revolutions
led to the unification of Italy in 1861 and that of Germany in 1871. Another
result was that France lost Alsace-Lorraine to Germany, and regaining it was a
major goal of the French. Nationalism posed a problem for Austria-Hungary
and the Balkans, areas comprised of many conflicting national groups. The
ardent Pan Slavism of Serbia and Russia's willingness to support its Slavic
brother conflicted with Austria-Hungary's Pan-Germanism.

16. Imperialism
Great Britain, Germany and France needed foreign markets after the increase in
manufacturing caused by the Industrial Revolution.
These countries competed for economic expansion in Africa. Although Britain
and France resolved their differences in Africa, several crises foreshadowing the
war involved the clash of Germany against Britain and France in North Africa.
In the Middle East, the crumbling Ottoman Empire was alluring to Austria-
Hungary, the Balkans and Russia.

17. During World War I, Germany began to use U-
boats or submarines

18. Austrian Archduke
Franz Ferdinand was
killed in Bosnia by a
Serbian nationalist
group called the Black
Hand who believed that
Bosnia should belong to
Serbia.

20. The Effects of the War
The war had a devastating impact on the entire continent both
psychologically and financially.
 Unfortunately, the infant Weimar Republic was being made to pay for the
sins of the old empire. The republic carried the burden of war guilt and
national humiliation and was financially crippled by being forced to pay
compensation.
Those who supported the Weimar Republic, mainly Socialists, Catholics and
Democrats, became easy targets of attack in the conservative nationalist
circles.

21. Treaty of Versailles and impositions on Germany
The Treaty of Versailles was one of the
peace treaties at the end of World War
I. It ended the state of war between
Germany and the Allied Powers. It was
signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five
years after the assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other
Central Powers on the German side of
World War I were dealt with in
separate treaties.

22. Continued....
 Occupation of the Rhineland-As a guarantee of compliance by Germany, Part XIV
of the Treaty provided that the Rhineland would be occupied by Allied troops for a
period of 15 years.
 Military restrictions-
 German naval forces will be limited to 15,000 men, six battleships , six cruisers , 12

23. WORLD WAR 2
 World War II, or the Second World War, was a
global conflict that was underway by 1939 and
ended in 1945. It involved most of the world's
nations—including all of the great powers—
eventually forming two opposing military alliances:
the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread
war in history, with more than 100 million military
personnel mobilised. In a state of "total war", the
major participants placed their entire economic,
industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of
the war effort, erasing the distinction between
civilian and military resources. Marked by
significant events involving the mass death of
civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use
of nuclear weapons in warfare, it is the deadliest
conflict in human history, resulting in 50 million to
over 70 million fatalities.

24. Causes of World War 11
 The rearmament of Germany was a cause for war
because it broke the Treaty of Versailles (28th
June, 1919)
 The remilitarization of the Rhineland (7th march,
1936) was a cause of war because it broke the
Treaty of Versailles .
 Chamberlain’s appeasement policy (after may 1937
– March 1939) was a cause of war because it broke
the Treaty of Versailles.
• The Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia in March
1939, cause war because it defied the Munich
agreement and ended Britain’s appeasement
policy.
• The Nazi invasion of Poland (1st September 1939)
caused war because Britain had guaranteed
Poland’s borders.

people during the war, including 8.7 million
military and 19 million civilian deaths. One of
every four Soviet citizens was killed or

Front and during the final battles in
Germany.

Soviet archives record that their burnt remains were recovered
and interred in successive locations until 1970 when they were
again exhumed, cremated and the ashes scattered.
