817056
The first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire. It lasted almost 1,000 years.\n\nThe Second Reich was The Second German Empire, which is considered to be from the reign of William I to the abdication of WIlliam II (Kaiser Wilhelm) in 1918 (Armistice).\n\nThe Third Reich was also supposed to last for 1,000 years, which was why Hitler gave it that name for propaganda purposes.

The Nazis were a political party in Germany,like the democrats and the republicnas are a party. The reason so many poeple liked the Nazis is because they were the only middle party. Either the parties in Germany were to much to either extreme for the average person to relate with. The Nazis were a party the average citizen in Germany could relate with. Believe it or not the Nazis were voted into office instead of the popular belief that they just ruthlesly took control. The objective of killing off the jews was not one of their original policies though. It wasnt  until Hitler became chanclor of the Nazi party that he implemented it. He used propoganda and lies to turn the German people agianst the Jews.\n\nPS\n\nThe party wasnt formed by Hitler. He just later become chancelor later on.

Because in Hitler's mind, the Jews were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.\nHitler's book Mein Kampf makes clear Hitler's racist worldview, dividing up humans based on ancestry. Hitler stated that German "Aryans" were at the top of the hierarchy, and assigned the bottom of the order to Jews and Gypsies. Hitler went on to say that dominated peoples benefit by learning from the superior Aryans. Hitler further claimed that the Jews were conspiring to keep this "master race" from rightfully ruling the world, by diluting its racial and cultural purity and by convincing the Aryans to believe in equality rather than superiority and inferiority. He described the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews.

It is semantics.  The Germans were beaten.  They gave up.  Surrender by any other name is still surrender.\n\nYou are trying to create an 88 year coverup.  Try reading some history books.

Nazis believed that the Aryan race was superior to all other races.  This meant removing the lesser races from German society and also expanding territory for the Aryan poeples to enjoy.  'Liebensraum' is the concept of 'living space' for the Aryan people.  \n\nIts hard to believe just how nasty it was but the atrocities of WW2 were all carefully planned and foretold in the book 'Mein Kempf'.

No it was not.  It singled out Germany for punitive measures and not the Austro-Hungarian Empire for such measures.  It so financially was hard for Germany and led to WWII.

No, more like the 3rd reicht

In Germany the Jewish population had the money and power being better business people.  The Germans were jealous and Hitler used this to gain power in a disgrunted country.  He then decided to creat an Aryan race of blonds with blue eyes - thats me dead then - and reportedly systematically murdered the Jews, homosexuals and cripples, and anyone else who disagreed with him

Cause they haven`t had world war 3 yet and if he can instigate it, then he will go down in history as being a reincarnation of good ol` Adolf the Hitler. Plus he gets to kill the children of the middle class. What a bargain for a lying,stinking,useless,piece of rat manure.

Adolf Hitler - Nazi dictator of Germany (1933-45), planned and started World War 2, committed suicide at the end of the war. \nGeneral Hideki Tojo - Prime minister of Japan (October 1941 - July 1944). With a long militarist tradition, Japan became extremely militarist and aggressive in the 1930s and was practically governed by military leaders. Tojo, an aggressive army General, became minister of war in July 1941 and prime minister in October 1941. After a short attempt to improve relations with the US failed, he ordered to go to war and attack Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He gradually took more ministerial roles, and in Feb. 1944 also made himself the commander in chief, like Adolf Hitler did. When he realized that Japan was going to lose the war he resigned. The military continued to control Japan until the end of World War 2, which came when the Emperor Hirohito which was until then passive, ordered to surrender in order to prevent further inevitable destruction of Japan. After the war Tojo was executed for his responsibility to Japan's war crimes. \nBenito Mussolini, was the prime minister of Italy (1922-1943). A former journalist, he went to politics and formed the Fascist party, whose ideology, Fascism, called for a one-party state, total obedience, patriotic nationalism, and aggressive militarism. The ideology and its implementation in Mussolini's Italy influenced Adolf Hitler's own ideology, Nazism, which was a combination of Fascism with extreme racism. Initially Mussolini led a right-wing coalition, but later Italy became a one party state. His treatment of unemployment made Mussolini popular, but the military aggression of Fascism led to its failure. Mussolini was eager to demonstrate the "strength" of his regime by invading weaker neighbors. In 1935 he invaded and occupied the peaceful Ethiopia from Italy's nearby colony in East Africa. In 1936, the two Fascist dictators, Hitler and Mussolini, signed an alliance. In 1939 he invaded and occupied his small neighbor Albania, and Mussolini then enhanced his alliance with Hitler to a full military alliance. Mussolini knew that his military was not very effective, but when the Germans defeated the French and British forces in mid 1940 he thought it was safe enough for him to attack Britain and the collapsing France too and declared war, and in October 1940 he also invaded Greece, and was repelled. Mussolini had a million soldiers in Libya, and he sent them to attack the small British force in Egypt. The Italian Navy and Air Force attacked British ports and shipping in the Mediterranean, from Gibraltar in the West to Haifa (Israel) in the East. Despite its numerical strength and the fact that British forces in the Mediterranean were greatly outnumbered and very stretched, the Italian military could not defeat them anywhere, and was severely beaten by the British, and simply had to call for the help of the much more capable Germans. Even with German help, the British forces only lost their positions in Greece and kept fighting fiercely from their island bases in Malta, Gibraltar, and in North Africa. Mussolini's Italy became a German puppet, and even sent troops to participate in Germany's invasion of Russia. Eventually, British and American forces eliminated the Italian and German forces in North Africa and followed in July 1943 with an invasion of Sicily in South Italy. It was clear that Italy was losing the war, so several days after the invasion Mussolini was replaced and arrested in a remote mountain castle. Hitler sent commandos to rescue his friend from captivity. In April 1945, when German defence in North Italy collapsed, Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans and executed . \nThe defenders\nWinston Churchill kept warning of the Nazi danger in pre-war years. He was elected prime minister of Great Britain after the total collapse of the appeasement policy of his predecessor Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain failed to understa

Because there was 'no credible evidence' that Germany was a threat. France believed they could negotiate with Hitler through the League of Nations or other diplomatic channels.

Germans were for ages very pedantic. They kept their records meticulously for generations. To be determined a Jew, it was enough for you to have one Jewish grandparent.\nSometimes there were exceptions to the rule, but mostly there weren't. It wasn't a problem at all, to look three generations back at the archives and find out what happens to you. \nIn very special cases, Hitler himself has overridden the case, but it happened only very few times. Generally the Nazi machine never deviated from the standard in that respect.

Most European nations were over run by the Nazis in WW2 and the French were at the front line on Hitler's plans to invade England. Some nations stayed nuetral, however Hitler was intent on not only conquering these nations, but plundering them as well.
