1. The Aryan Race, which was originally created as a form of categorization was used in the late 19th century to the mid 20th century to describe multiple types of people. While originally intended to be used as a neutral ethnolinguistic classification, the Nazis promoted it as more of a racial hierarchy, making it known that the Germanic peoples were the "Master race" who they then called Aryan. The main role for the Aryan Race in human history was to become the "Master Race," creating all kinds of techniques, art, and science. Segments of modern and classic civilization were built on this race, they were very ambitious with the mindset to move forward in history and remain at the top. Aryans have always worked to be the leading group in humanity, dating back to the deepest parts of their roots. Their ability to adapt and develop were impeccable which also made them unconquerable in the eyes of many others, so nations served them without quarrel.
2. Jews were identified by Theorist Hans F. K. Günther as being descendants of non-European races, they were classified as the Near Asian race but were more commonly called the Armenoid race. Because of the

Hitler viewed the defeat in World War I as an inevitable outcome because he believed in one thing that (to him) many people overlooked. He valued the purity in which we were born, the preservation of our racial foundation, the strength that we possess as a whole when we're pure. Many people during that time wanted to mix blood creating a force that was weaker than if they were a pure blooded nation attacking at full force. The allied victory was a disappointment to Hitler because in his eyes the nation was being robbed systematically and ultimately the country was being destroyed. However, he did see a bright side to it all. While they did end up facing a defeat, he knew that one day the new generation would come in to reflect on what the old generation had done and work hard to continue what they had
The battle of the bulge was Hitler's last chance to win the war or at least make the allies go for a treaty. He did this because his forces were being pushed back into Germany and soon they would run out of supplies and other resources for war. Hitler thought of this bold plan when he recalled how a German hero Frederick the great was facing defeat, Frederick went on a offensive attack at his foe who had superior numbers but the bold moved worked and Hitler thought he could do the same thing.
Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical,
Hitler believed that the human race was very similar to species of animals and we should behave as such. His basic ideologies explain why he was looking for war and his goals for Germany. Hitler believed that each race should mate with a similar race and get rid of races that were not the same. This prejudice he had explains why he would want to go to war with nearby countries. Ideally, Hitler would demolish every single race that was not his own. It would be impossible for him to get rid of all other races, so he picked the one that was least like the Aryans which were Jewish people.
The Nazis believed in ‘Aryan’ superiority, this belief contributed to the Holocaust. In the years of Nazi rule before World War II, The Nazi group organized policies of discrimination and separation targeting especially German Jews. The Nazi political group believed in one race Aryans, they believed the Aryans were superior to all races. Hitler was an anti-Semitic, he believed Jews were the main corrupter of culture, society and Germany. Non-Aryans were seen as impure and evil.
The word Aryanization is a term used during Nazism referring to the taking away of the jews right to work in Nazi Germany during World War Two. In 1937 life in Germany was chaotic and isolated for Jews still living in Germany. Another thing that was happening in Germany was the ghettos. The ghettos were a plot of the cities that was closed off and used for segregation against the jews. The
There are many problems with gangs in prison. These gangs cause problems and threaten the well-being of others who don’t fit into their mindset or beliefs. This problem has been going on for a long time, and has cost the prison system a lot of money throughout the country.
Hitler believed that propaganda from the allies was the main reason that the Germans lost during World War I and felt that this form of warfare needed to be a primary tool in modern warfare. He spoke of this belief in his book Mein Kampf well before the start of the second World War. Hitler felt that the public needed to be inundated with the ideology of the state at all times and through all mediums (Jowett and O'Donnell 2). "To do this," he said "everything from child's story-book to the last newspaper, every theater, every cinema and every advertisement must be brought into the service of this single mission" (qt. in Qualter ix). This onslaught of propaganda led to the Holocaust by leaving no other option open to the German people
“Aryan” was merely a description of one the higher class races in Europe: the Indo-Europeans. The book Thus Spoke Zarathrustra by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is responsible for the coining of the word Übermensch to represent an “overseer” figure. His principles were based on the idea that the Übermensch symbolized the phase of humanity in which one person achieves immortal characteristics. It has been proposed that Nietzsche’s ideology parallels the interests of the Enlightenment through its emphasis on individualism. What made his ideas stand out was his denial of the necessity of a God. He took the stance that the Übermensch’s “superior above all” mentality would see no room to benefit from a deity and therefore enforce his own regulations upon the population. The nineteenth century saw the rise of the concept of race and pseudoscience. Until the Industrial Revolution and the boom of technological developments, people had been judged by their ethnic ancestries and their financial conditions alone. The public’s popular opinion at the time was the idea of a strong correlation between one’s race and his of her potential for intellectual greatness. They were of an era in which the educated European population believed arguments which proposed that physical features on a person’s body were somehow directly related to level of intelligence; perhaps this wide acceptance of irrational ideas is due to the rapidly growing scientific advancements being made in the Western
On the other hand, the army was a symbol of pride, therefore, to have such a small army was humiliating for them and after the Treaty, Hitler managed to use this into his favour as he kept reminding Germans of this humiliation and consequently, he gained more support. Hitler came into power because he wanted to overthrow the Treaty of Versailles and restore German pride and consequently gain more support. Hitler succeeded to make the Germans believe that the Jews and the leaders who signed the treaty were to be blamed and eventually called them November Criminals. He clearly portrayed those ideas in his book, Mein Kampf, which he wrote when he was in prison following a disastrous outcome of the Munich putsch. He had realised that he could take control of Germany by force, so, he managed to increase his support by displaying how the Treaty of Versailles was impacting Germany. He particularly wanted to rearm Germany following its disarmament as per the Treaty. German citizens hated the fact that they had to disarm and Hitler managed to use this hatred to convince them and gain
Adolf Hitler’s goal was to create a master race. He saw the german people the best race in the world, and that they could cleanse other countries and he called his master race the Aryans. Since Hitler was baptized catholic, he believed that any other people outside the faith were condemned to hell but he took that idea way too far, and he viewed
Hitler was obsessed with the racial superiority he believed the German peoples had over all other inferior peoples. He wanted to rule the world, but in order to carry out his solution, he needed to convince the German people to listen to him. Perhaps Hitler would never have been able to do what he did had World War I never occurred. As Resnick said in his book, The Holocaust; After World War I, Germany was trying to rebuild and recover…Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression severely afflicted Germany. "In many respects, these terrible conditions made Hitler's rise to power possible." (Resnick p. 15) People in desperate situations will listen to anyone offering a way out. Hitler offered not only a way out of Germany's turmoil, but also someone to blame for it; he pointed at the Jews.
Hitler cultivated his own army to destroy selective demographics, he wanted to create a world where his concept of ideal was the only one that existed. As a dictator he was able to constitute laws, anyone who chose to disobey these laws would be executed. The laws that are put into place can define success through evil acts. The Holocaust is a direct example; Hitler knew he would be able to brainwash human beings to obey his commands contributing to the success of his dehumanizing scheme.
Race is a social construct that was created by the Europeans in order to minoritize different racial groups. In the reading by Bonilla-Silva, he defines race to be manmade, “This means that notions of racial difference are human creations rather than eternal, essential categories… racial categories have a history and are subject to change.” For example in a lecture by Dr. Aguilar-Hernandez, he stated that the Irish, Italians and Jews were called black before but are now considered white, Mexican-Americans were also considered white up until the 1980s. These ideas lead to the racialization of racial groups.
“Hitler began building weapons, training pilots for war, and allied with Austria. He also left an International Disarmament Conference and the League of Nations.” (Chomsky, 2009) Racial theories and goals were at the center of Hitler’s thoughts. He wanted to make Germany a formidable military power.
Adolf Hitler’s military tactics, poor leadership skills, and actions caused him to lose World War II. Hitler’s objective was to gain world power. He was willing to risk everything for Germany to become the most powerful country. According to Richard Overy, a British historian, “If the German people are not prepared to engage in its own survival, so be it: then it must disappear!” (538). Hitler was also willing to sacrifice Germany to attain world control and victory during World War II. The idea of losing WWII never came across Hitler’s mind because he was confident that Germany would become victorious during the war.
