He started his speech by speaking about and mentioning the problem and how their country is falling apart. Some key points Hitler addresses are The loss of the Germans freedom and liberty as a nation, and the lack of unity in Germany. “We never received the equality and fraternity we had been promised, and we lost our liberty to boot. For when our nation lost its political place in the world, it soon lost its unity of spirit and will”.He uses the Treaty of Versailles as an example and how unjust it was.

    This was Hitler’s right hand man, and this is the man who ultimately brainwashed everyone. Goebbels promoted the Nazi message through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, and the press. Goebbels worked to inflame the anger of Germans over their defeat in World War I and emphasized German cultural and military achievements to boost national pride.

This angered the volk, who have been doctrinated to believe that they were the superior race by the nationalist political idea Pan-Germanism. Especially with the unfair treatments perceived from the Treaty of Versailles, which it added odds to Hitler’s statement, the emotion of the crowd would be full of indignation, and as a result, they would be more united as a race and agreed with Hitler’s idea of fighting against enemy nations through aggressive actual deeds.

World leaders of the time, like President Woodrow Wilson of the United States, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau of France, and Prime Minister David Lloyd George, met to not only create a treaty between themselves and the Triple Alliance, but to also create a treaty that would last.

    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.…
