The Third Reich will be that new civilization, with the "proper" race having achieved its rightful pre-eminence.
Allan Bullock points out that Hitler was not interested in economics and instead insisted on the supremacy of politics over economics. As early as 1923, Hitler was saying that the nation could not solve its problems until "the German people understands that one can conduct politics only when one has the support of power" (cited by Bullock 402).
Hitler's rise to power was certainly aided by his ability to speak to and incite the passions of a crowd, but part of his desire for power might be attributed to the fact that he was very limited in terms of human relations on a one-to-one basis. Many saw Hitler as beset by narcissism while also having no friends. While offering a number of caveats, Fritz Redlich characterizes Hitler as a narcissist on the following evidence: "(1) his tenuous human relations; (2) his convictions of grandeur about himself and his tasks; (3) his unusual risk-taking...
Redlich also cites Hitler's grandiosity: "As Germany's Fuhrer, Hitler developed extreme ideas of grandiosity and omnipotence. He saw himself as a messianic leader whom Providence had chosen to make Germany into the greatest nation on earth and free the world from the Jewish peril" (Redlich 302). Such a focus on himself as savior of the nation shaped the way Hitler approached politics and the way he manipulated others to achieve his ends.

Rise of the Secular Turkish Republic It was in 1923 that the Republic of Turkey appeared on the face of the globe. The Turks consider the preceding years i.e. 1919-1922 as the years of their struggle for independence. The Turkish state that was formed as a consequence of this struggle was a completely new republic despite the fact that various partition schemes were proposed by the triumphant Allies during and after
Hitler's Personality And Rise To Power Adolph Hitler's rise to power over the course of the 1920s and 30s was due to a confluence of political and personal factors which served to make Hitler the ideal person to take control of Germany's failing fortunes. In many ways one may view Hitler's frightening success as a case of being the right person, in the right place, at the right time, because his
The way in which Hitler took over Germany was very open, but yet it was not thwarted by others in the political realm. By the time they realized what was taking place, it was already done. Hindenburg was still president of Germany at that time, but right before he died a law was passed that the presidency would be abolished with his death, and all power over the government and
It started in the fall of 1932, Evans explains; Jewish businesses were bombed, Jewish synagogues and other Jewish places were destroyed. In the weeks after Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor "…stormtroopers broke into synagogues and desecrated the religious furniture, smashed the windows of Jewish shops, and subjected Jews to random acts of humiliation," like forcing them to drink castor oil and shaving their beards forcibly in public, Evans goes
Accordingly "the Hitler Youth movement emphasized activism, physical training, NAZI ideology, especially nationalism and racial concepts, and absolute obedience to Hitler and the NAZI Party. Indoctrinating children in National Socialist ideology was a key goal of the NAZI Party. Once Hitler assumed control over the German state, he used the Government to make the Hitler Youth the country's all encompassing youth movement" (HBU1, 1) The racial elements of the
Another difference worth mentioning is also of economic nature and refers to the Great Depression of 1929-1933. While the Italian fascism emerged in the context of internal problems, the German fascism was driven by international economic crisis. The fall of the American market, the primary creditor of the defeated countries, meant that the financial resources would stop coming from across the ocean, and the economic condition was in even grater
