Are you asking in general what they did?  One thing is the Holocaust in which they killed over 6 million Jewish people, as well as political prisoners, gypsies, invalids, etc.  However, that really began after 1939.  Up until then, Hitler focused on labelling these people as scapegoats for why Germany fell so hard economically after WWI.  Besides the Holocaust, the Nazis improved the German economy and military, allowing them to be capable of invading and capturing so many countries during WWII.

in what?\n\nStalin exterminated much more people...\nBut Hitler seems to have a serious successor.

Essentially, WW2 was a result of this and other factors, including unrealistic expectations and unresolved conflicts from WW1. Millions were killed in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, Asia, China, the Pacific Island nations, the US troops fighting in those theaters of war, and involved virtually the entire world. The United States emerged as the leading powerhouse and the Soviet Union a major nemesis until its collapse in 1989-1990.

After WWI the victors forced Germany to pay reparations from the war. This forced Germany into a huge defecit and resulted in the rising of Hitler. After WWII many learned the lesson from WWI and determined that we should provide assistance to the countries most devastated by the war, one being Japan. America and other countries provided money and instituted a democracy in Japan. The people of Japan were able to take advantage of this and rise to become the nation they are today.

One of the (many) causes of WW2 was the monetary reparations forced upon Germany following WW1.  The Treaty of Versailles (which states how much the Germans 'owed', among other forms of 'punishment') was greatly hated in Germany and gave momentum to both the Nazi and the Communist movements in Germany.  Not wanting a repeat of that, after WW2, the allied forces decided to go a completely different way with their defeated enemies - military occupation.  Rather than forcing Germany and Japan to make payments, the allied forces divided up the areas controlled by Germany and Japan.

Germany was doing poorly after WWI. They were faced with the entire debt of that war. The economy was falling apart and they needed a strong leader to pull it together. Hitler spoke of socialism, which is a great idea! But, it is impossible because of people's nature. He sold it on that, and got power.

Dude the Revolution and the Holocaust or myths. Hitler was a good guy and FDR started WWII by sinking a Jap sub on Dec.7 1941....\n In other words history is written by the winners.  and not a word of it can be believed.\n I'm sure in a humdred years our grandkids will be sitting in the fifth grade learning about how GW Bush saved the world by removing WMDs from Iraq.

Greed and selfishness are the causes.  What else can be the causes?  Leaders of those European countries want more land and money.  They want only their people to be wealthy and in power.  They want to use all the other people that they took advantage of to make more wealth and power for themselves.  (Hey, don't forget Japan was also involved in WWII.)\n\nThe consequences of those two wars are a lot of hatred between groups of people.  No one will ever forget the loss of a loved one being killed or the house that they've worked for all their lives being bombed and gone within seconds.  Wars destroy futures within seconds.  When stuff like this happens, some people don't forget which group of people or country did it to them.  So they teach their children and grandchildren how to hate the other group of people.  So much hatred in this world came from wars, esp. WWI & WWII.

Hitler came to power at a time when Germany was defeated (from WWI), weak, vulnerable, in a depression, and looking for someone to blame for their troubles.  The Jews became their primary scape goat, and Hitler became their sense of hope for the future.\n\nGermany decided to take over the world, starting with Poland.  The Soviet Union was initially an ally in Germany's quest, but then Germany attached them as well.  \n\nThe US initially planned to stay out of the war, and that policy held for the first couple of years.  We were dragged in when Japan invaded the US through their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.\n\nThe rest is...well...history.\n\n;-)

William Shirer (sp)? wrote a book called "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" I don't recall if it had a bibliography or not, but it really did a good job, I thought explaining what the events were that lead to the rise of nazism.

That idea formed when WW!! sped up the recovery from the great depression.  War causes an increase in government expenditures and has increased the national debt, which evenually could lead to higher taxes, then there is interest rates, to curb inflation, and thus recession following the war

(m)\n\nThe Lead Up to World War 2\nChemical Cartels\nWithout a doubt, a key player in the cause of World War 2 was the powerful Adolf Hitler.  But the major source of Hitler's power came from a chemical cartel called I.G. Farben, (the name is an abbreviation of the complete name: Interssen Gemeinschaft Farben.) The importance of I.G. Farben's support for the Socialist movement was pointed out in a book about the cartel, in which it is stated: "without I.G.'s immense production facilities, its far reaching research, varied technical experience and overall concentration of economic power, Germany would not have been in a position to start its aggressive war in September, 1939."1\n\nBut I.G. Farben had a little-known source of its enormous economic power: Wall Street, U.S.A. "Without the capital supplied by Wall Street, there would have been no I.G. Farben in the first place, and almost certainly no Adolf Hitler and World War II."2\n\nI.G. Farben had its beginning in 1924 when American banker Charles Dawes arranged a series of foreign loans totalling $800 million to consolidate gigantic chemical and steel combinations into cartels, one of which was I.G. Farben. Professor Can-oil Quigley terms the Dawes Plan: "largely a J.P. Morgan production."3\n\nThree Wall Street houses, Dillon, Read & Co.; Harris, Forbes & Co.; and National City handled three-quarters of the loans used to create these cartels.\n\nThe importance of LG. Farben to the plans of the German Nazi Party can be illustrated by a product that an I.G. dominated company manufactured. It was called Zyklon B, the lethal gas utilized by the exterminators at Auschwitz, Bitterfeld, Walfen, Hoechst, Agfa, Ludwigshafen, and Buchenwald. (I.G. Farben, being a chemical company even before it was merged with other chemical companies to form the cartel, was also the producer of the chlorine gas used during World War I.) American support for I.G. Farben continued as Henry Ford merged his German assets with those of I.G. in 1928.4\n\nBut the real importance of I.G. to the war efforts of Adolf Hitler came in the utilization of the process known as hydrogenation, the production of gasoline from coal, created by the I.G. Farben chemical cartel. Germany had no native gasoline production capabilities, and this was one of the main reasons it lost World War I. A German scientist discovered the process of converting coal (Germany was the possessor of large quantities of coal) into gasoline in 1909, but the technology was not completely developed during the war. In August, 1927, Standard Oil agreed to embark on a cooperative program of research and development of the hydrogenation process to refine the oil necessary for Germany to prepare for World War II.\n\nAnd finally, on November 9, 1929, these two giant companies signed a cartel agreement that had two objectives:\n\nFirst, the cartel agreement granted Standard Oil one-half of all rights to the hydrogenation process in all countries of the world except Germany; and\n\nSecondly, the two agreed: "... never to compete with each other in the fields of chemistry and petroleum products. In the future, if Standard Oil wished to enter the broad field of industrial chemicals or drugs, it would do so only as a partner of Farben.\n\nFarben, in turn, agreed never to enter the field of petroleum except as a joint venture with Standard."5\n\nThis cartel agreement was extremely important to the war effort, because, by the end of the war, Germany was producing about seventy-five percent of its fuel synthetically.\n\nBut even more significant was the fact that these plants were not the subject of Allied bombing raids, so that, by the war's end, twenty-five to thirty of its refineries were still operating with only about fifteen percent damage.\n\nStandard Oil got into the refining business as well. In fact, William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador in Germany, wrote the following in his diary about the pre-war

World War II was a BIG factor in the USA becoming a power house. Also the 40's produced one of the biggest baby booms in US history for the 50's.
