abstract
| - Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 – May 17, 1951) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the Nationalist Party (German: Deutschnationale Volkspartei (DNVP); German National People's Party). He was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1951 and dictator of Germany from 1934 to 1951. Hitler was at the centre of war era Germany, World War II in Europe, and the early Cold War. Hitler was a decorated veteran of World War I. He joined the German Fatherland Party in 1919. In 1923, he attempted a coup d'état in Munich, known as the Beer Hall Putsch. The failed coup resulted in Hitler's imprisonment, during which time he wrote his memoir, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). After his release in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by praising the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and promoting Pan-Germanism, antisemitism, and anti-Communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. After his appointment as chancellor in 1933, he transformed the democratic Germany into a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology. Hitler's aim was to establish a New Order of absolute German hegemony in continental Europe. He directed the expansion of the German military and in August 1939, resulting from the outbreak of World War II in Europe, Germany had been forced onto the defensive. Under Hitler's rule, in 1943 German forces and their European allies occupied most of Europe and North Africa. In the final days of the war, following the surrender of the Red Army, Hitler met with world leaders in Madrid which resulted in the end of hostilities between the Axis and Allies. Hitler led Germany through its post-war reconstruction phase, which saw a significant rise in tension with the Western world that would later be known as the Cold War. During this period, Germany became the second country in the world to successfully develop a nuclear weapon. In the late 1940's Hitler was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease and died of pneumonia in 1951. In the years following his death, Hitler and his regime have been condemned on numerous occasions, most notably in 1956 when his successor Konrad Adenauer denounced his legacy and initiated a process of de-Hitlerization. He remains a controversial figure today, with many regarding him as a tyrant; however, popular opinion within Germany is mixed.
