=__**﻿ Hitler Rises To Power (WWII)**__= World War 2 was a global military conflict which involved most of the nations, and had 50-70 million fatalities. Germans disagreed with Treaty of Versailles from WWI and conflicts led to WWII. Germany's inflation led them to poverty, and Hitler came to power starting Holocaust which led to WWII between Axis & Allied forces

German Government started to accumulate debt and to increase the money supply. They thought they would win the war (WWI), and intended to force the losers to pay all costs. They chose to finance the war through borrowing, rather than through taxes. As war broke out, Reichs bank (central bank) currencies no longer redeemable. By suspending the redeem ability of its notes, Reichs bank was no longer restricted in the amount of money it could print. German Government ordered more and more money to be printed to finance the ever-increasing war expenditures. Soon the Deutsche Mark became worthless. The more money printed the money value circulation decreased. "When runaway inflation and bank failures struck in Germany in the 1920's, the middle class was destroyed, which led directly to the rise of the Nazis" (Nick Clooney).

As Germany became anxious for a solution, a man known as Adolf Hitler tried and succeeded in winning elections to become dictator. He promised the people a solution to Germany's crises. On January 30, 1933 Hitler became chancellor of Germany. Hitler said the Jews were the cause to Germany's problems, and subjected them to progressively harsh presacutution that led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews. On June 1941 Germany attacked the Soviet Union and began "Final Solution," which was four mobile killing groups called Einsatzgruppen A,B,C,D. Hitler ordered the kidnap of all Jews and put them into concentration Camps. Jews were put there until their death. "Millions of surviving victims of the Nazi Holocaust, Jews and Non-Jews, will stand before us in the years to come" (Morris Cohen).

Germany invades Poland and annexes Denzig. Britain and France give Hitler ultimatum and declare war in 1939. In 1940 Nazis invade Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Chamberlain resigns Britain's prime minister, and Churchill takes over. About 335,000 out of 400,000 Allied soldiers were rescued from Belgium by British civilian craft. Italy also declares war on them. Germans attack Paris France when they are defenseless, and Bomb a Coventry, Britain. FDR and Churchill agree on war aims. Japan attacks Pearl Harbor in 1941, and forces U.S. into war. Britain surrenders Singapore to Japan, and FDR orders Japanese Americans in U.S. to be exiled to "Relocation Centers." German 6th Army surrenders on 1943. Allied troops land on Italian mainland after conquest of Sicily and Italy surrenders. Yorita Agreement signed by Churchill, FDR, and Stalin establishes basis for occupation of Germany. Germany signs unconditional surrender terms at Rheims. U.S. bombs Hiroshima on 1945 and Japan surrenders.

In conclusion, the inflation on Germany, and their anger for the loss of WWI caused the rise of Hitler. That led to the Holocaust, because he thought Jews were to blame. That led to WWII between Allied vs. Axis forces. A brutal war that was created by people's hunger for power.
