Adolf Hitler was one of World War 2's most powerful dictators. He rose during a difficult period for Germany, thats is, since they were blamed for the majority of WW1 which led to their strength as a nation to shatter to utter nothing. The people of Germany were desperate for help in getting their country back to normal and having someone guide them to victory was what they needed. Hitler, with his exquisite speeches and declarations, earned the trust and hope of the citizens and promised to lead them to the top once again.
That's when the conquering of nations began. He chose to invade Rhineland first, which resulted in a quick success. Later he took Austria and a small portion of Czechoslovakia to which he agreed was the last of his conquers. The League of Nations took his word and began to cheer a their accomplishment of avoiding war… it was then that he attacked Poland which triggered the beginning of World War 2. Germany later but quickly took possession of Denmark & Norway, Netherlands and Belgium and France. He also attacked Britain and USSR in hopes of making them surrender to him. But in the end, it became one of the biggest mistakes he committed. Everything began to go downhill for Germany shortly after going battle the USSR; Allies united and commenced to take back all territories that the Axis Powers had occupied. The Axis Powers were defeated.
