Hitler was arguably one of the most influential people in the world. Showing quality
leadership traits from a young age, he moved to politics after having his dream of being an artist
was crushed. This began what most will call one of the largest scale genocides in history. Hitler
successfully eliminated over eleven million people. After attempting to follow a career in art, he
was denied entry into the art school of his choice, therefore, he went into politics and had the
vision to one day rule the world. Using political strategies, Adolf Hitler was able to manipulate
an entire nation in order to start the genocide against the Jews. He reached the highest level of
power, eventually becoming the chancellor and dictator of Germany. …show more content…
Once he reached
secondary school, however, the workload became too much and as a result stopped trying
altogether. He was not very popular at this time and even failed his exams at the age of 15. He
was required to repeat the year, but he decided to quit school as a whole, living without a formal
education. Fast forward three years to find Hitler in Vienna, living off his inheritance from his
father. He was attempting to pursue a career in art, as it was his best subject. He applied to
Vienna Academy of Art and the School of Architecture. Both applications were rejected. This
was the first step for Hitler becoming a politician (“Hitler 's Boyhood”). He found interest in anti-
Semitic ideas. During World War I, he fought and eventually gained the rank of corporal. After
being blinded by a gas attack, he was forced to resign temporarily. He also fell into a state of
mental illness, depression to be more specific. Hitler did not know what to do from that point on
until 1919, he attended his first meeting of the German Workers’ party. He joined as a spy for the

He then retreated to his
private quarters with Braun, where he and his wife proceeded to poison themselves and their
dogs. After being poisoned, in an effort to ensure the job is finished, Hitler shot himself in the
head. Their bodies were discovered and cremated in the chancellery garden. Eight days later, on
8 May 1945, the German forces surrendered (“Adolf Hitler Commits Suicide”).
Though known as one of the most evil men in history, Hitler was amazing at starting a
movement and leading a group. After his goal of becoming an artist was crushed, he learned he
has talents in another field, politics. His hatred for the Jewish people drove him to become an all- powerful dictator and his determination ensured the position. His rise demonstrates the power of
rhetoric, propaganda, and scapegoating as means by which to lead, particularly during an
economic crisis. Adolf Hitler was responsible more than anyone else for the outbreak of human
civilization’s most deadly war, World War II along with being responsible for bringing about
one of history’s greatest tragedies and its most famous instance of genocide, the
