Hitler's Legacy

An old adage says, "absolute power corrupts absolutely". Nothing could be used to better describe the life of Adolph Hitler. Born in Austria in 1889, Hitler eventually ended up as part of the German Army in World War I. After the war Hitler managed to become one of the most powerful men in the world through his mastery of public speaking. Through gaining political power Hitler could realize his philosophic dream of "The Third Reich". Unfortunately, …

…The Third Reich. In WWII, Hitler broke the previously made treaty and started to invade other countries. If Hitler’s plans had succeeded, three-fourths of the world’s population at the time would have been killed. One can only imagine the tyrannical state our world would be in today if Hitler had seen his plan play out as planned. Fortunately for everyone the combined efforts of the allies were enough to contain his depraved schemes.
