Argumentative Essay: The Existence Of Nazi Germany

Superior Essays
The trial of the defendants before me, your honor, is an act of injustice. The entirety of these Nuremberg Trials is illegitimate, clouded by irrational, unjust, and hypocritical accusations that at their core sprout from the victor’s justice of the Allied justices that come from France, England, America, Russia, and countries of the like. When I turn my head in search of a justice whose bias doesn’t lie with Allies and when I search for a justice whose conscience isn’t subjugated by victor’s justice I find no one. Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebells, and other sovereigns of the Nazi government are certainly culpable of many crimes. But do you see them sitting here awaiting trial? They have done the justice for us and taken their own lives. With that the trial should be unnecessary shouldn’t it be? The malignancy of Hitler has already been absolved with his willful swallowing of a cyanide pill. Why then must you go through with this tediously lengthy trial that serves no purpose? The defendants before me are the subordinates of Hitler, who, during the existence of the Nazi government, were intoxicated by his ostensible invincibility and omniscience.

United States. The United States sanctioned the simple action of moving the Japanese 50 miles from the coast. How was the expulsion of the Jews from Germany any different from the United States’s repositioning of the Japanese-American citizens? Since this is widely accepted as common practice, the only thinkable reason that the defendants before are being tried for this alleged crime is victor’s justice. The Allies may have won the war, and they can use that privilege as they may, however they cannot fabricate unjust and outlandish indictments in attempt to discover the non-existent criminality in the defendants before

Two major events that proved this sickening mannerism was the relocation of the Japanese Americans and Nazi treatment of the European Jews. The Nazis were putting European Jews into death camps and taking their rights of a human being. The Japanese, like the Jews, were also put into camps but they were internment camps.…

    This case was a travesty of justice in so many ways from the weak evidence and testimonies, leaks to the press and the sentencing under the wrong statute. The statute that should have been used in sentencing “barred the imposition of the death penalty” (Alavi, 2003, p. 1084). The government resorted to both legal and illegal tactics to convince the judge, jury, media and the public to believe that the Rosenbergs stole the secrets to the atomic bomb. The judge went so far…

    Ian Kershaw’s article “Hitler and the Germans” analyzes the approach used to assert Hitler’s position in German politics. The main theme of this article is the creation of the “Hitler myth” and its spread throughout German society. This critique will discuss Kershaw’s argument and how effective it was. Kershaw argues that Hitler’s personality was not the key to his success and neither was his own personal Weltanschauung.

    Between 1942 and 1946, more than 110,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to concentration camps with the justification of military necessity after the Japanese launched the devastating attack on pearl harbor in 1941. However, it is of debate to which extent was the degree posed by Japanese-American equivalent to the treatment of Internment they received from the US government. Orthodox Historians who regard the internment decision to be wrong, suggests that the degree of threat posed by Japanese-American were completely inequivalent to the treatment they received as it was unconstitutional since the military justification were counterfeit from the start without any concrete evidence and was merely resulted of racism and war hysteria…

    There appears to be two different ways of looking at the above statement. It can be argued that World War II was a continuation of World War I. Or, it could also be argued that World War II was not a continuation, but that World War I merely "set the stage" for World War II. After much consideration, there really is a fine line between these two situations. As there were many ways in which World War I actually led to World War II, this argument will take the position that "World War II was a continuation of World War I". In fact, it could be claimed that World War II was actually "Act II" of the Great War.…
