We were sitting on my couch eating ice cream when the television said that Japan was invading Manchuria, China (Raum, 6). My little brother Brennan was asking why they were doing such a thing. I told him not to worry because it does not concern us, because Germany already enacted the Anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws (Raum, 6). He pretended like he understood and left the room to go play outside. I stayed in to learn more about the foreign wars. They’ve always took my interest. It’s been a few months since I’ve heard anything about the battles but I have this weird sensation something big is coming. I’ve been trying my best to avoid being drafted so I could help Brennan with his school work and such. The next morning I went to go check the mail. I brought it inside then began to cook breakfast. I was making pancakes when all of a sudden I hear my brother yell. He’s holding an envelope that’s inviting him to go to a 2 year camp for boy scouts. The granny from across the road has been helping us gain enough money for this camp. She is the sweetest thing you could ever lay eyes on. I told my brother to go with his friends and …show more content…
I’ve been in the Army for two years now and I’m already climbing high in the ranks. Germany and Japan have just signed the Anti-Comintern Pact (Raum, 7). This hitler guy has been doing somewhat good lately, he was just appointed Chancellor of Germany (Raum, 6). When I was just about to stop worrying about Hitler, Germany annexes Austria in a bloodless invasion (Raum, 7). Despite his promise to take no more land he orders his troops to occupy Czechoslovakia (Raum, 8). Hitler has been gaining power and allies from these other countries.

    I kept on thinking about how the Franks and the other people living in the Secret Annex did not deserve to be sent to a concentration camp or even be killed for that matter. I did not know what to think about this gruesome situation. I finally make up my mind and choose to tell the ignorant Nazi man a lie. “I am incredibly sorry how impolite I have been towards you and I would like to tell you the truth.”…

    After the Munich Conference, Hitler felt cheated out of war because the agreement ensured peace and did not give him the war Hitler wanted. To ensure war would occur, Hitler secretly installed military official Konrad Henlein as a leader in obtaining Sudetenland and all of Czechoslovakia for Germany. This is clear evidence of Hitler privately initiating war with his inner circle and violating appeasement policies because the demands he gave Henlein to enforce in Czechoslovakia were kept out of the public image and these demands were to eventually overrule all of Czechoslovakia. These plans inadequately follow the policy of appeasement because they prove that Hitler did not have the intentions of following through with the plans he made in the Munich Agreement. While Hitler did agree to follow…

    Two of the greatest men in modern history, Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler were determined to transform Germany into a great power. Despite being Prussian, Bismarck was nonetheless driven to unify Germany due to the fear of liberal ideology in a fragmented Germany. In essence, Bismarck was violent and would not stop at anything until his goals were realized with the eventual formation of a German state. Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler, an Austrian, sought to rid the nation of any race that was not “pure,” creating a utopian society based upon his radical ideology. Like Bismarck, Hitler was close-minded and would always go with his instinct, regardless of what was truly in the best interest of the masses.…

    It is well known that Adolf Hitler is a master of persuasion and in his Reichstag speech of December 11, 1941, he shows why. In this speech he gives reasons for the outbreak of war in September 1939, explains why he decided to attack the Soviet Union in June 1941, and announces that Germany was now in a war against the United States. Throughout this speech, he was able to maintain an air of righteousness while successfully manipulating his people into fighting for him. To accomplish this task, he cunningly uses a persuasive format for organizing his points, tone, and rhetoric devices, such as pathos, false dilemmas, and ethos, to gain support and loyalty of the German nation and maintain it.…
