Adolf Hitler, leader of Germany’s Nazi Party, was one of the most powerful and notorious dictators of the 20th century. He strived for territorial expansion, which was one of the causes for WWII. This advocation of Hilter’s led him to persuade the German to support his dictatorship over Germany. His main reason for this was the Treaty of Versailles, which had ended WWI. He and and many Germans resented the harsh terms of this treaty, this being why many people supported his ideas. He’s also committed many historical atrocities, but one of the most known and definitely most atrocious was the Holocaust of 1933. This was the genocide of European Jews during WWII, reasoning of Hitler for causing this mass genocide was that he blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat.
