  1. Well Hitler was a mentally retarded person with a.d.d who thought that jews were the problem to germany because after ww1 germany was bank rupted and was poor and mostly jews were rich and owned stores

    and hitler just didnt like russia and poland and there were lots of jews there so he invaded them.


  2. It was virtually a nonexistent factor in the cause of WW2. WW2 was the direct outcome of the peace treaty of WW1. Fascism was a direct result or the weak democracy forced upon Germany to end WW1. After 10 years of watching Mussolini prosper in Italy, fascism was easy to sell to a country that had been forced to accept all the guilt, moral and economical, for the worst war in history. Amazingly, the German people chose a leader that was so inept and lazy that nobody seemed to notice he was insane and not eccentric. After a few years Hitler's mismanagement of the economy had to be covered up by an ancient hatred of Jews that n**i's endorsed whole hearted.

    Fascism didn't cause WW2. WW1 caused it.

  3. The Treatie of Versalles, 1919, marginalize Germany through the 20-30s, and condition the germans to easily fall under fascism!!

    Quote:

    "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

    Julius Caesar (100-44 b.c.)

    Hitler rose to power under democratic paths. He then, with the support of his nation, implemented an expansionist campaign through Europe, which the Alies had no other choice but to allow, in order to avoid direct confrontation, till they undestood that war was inevitable and declare war to Germany!

    Hitler also rise the nation against the jews, which he hated, as he accuse them to bring the USA into WWI in return of the UK bonding to the Balfour declaration, thus making Germany lose WWI.

  4. o i learned this.. uh hitler believed that the germans were better than jewish ppl (ex of fascism) as germany went thru economic probs germans needed a way to get out of them, so they believed hitler about how the jewish people were ruining the econ.. so fascism(belief that one race is better than the other) became a popular belief in germany  (see even ppl like me have to b smart)

  5. Roxanne, if your going to Listen to anyone here, listen to Blank wisdom. john s has a couple of valid points, followed by some personal opinions I dont agree with, and Emil? Well, Emil  is (IMNSHO) mentally stunted and if he already isn't? He should be wearing a hockey helmet and riding the short school bus.

    the thing you must realize is, things were so bad in Germany in the aftermath of WWI that people were eating bread made with sawdust as a filler. Now, here comes good old Uncle Adolph, and he is promising this, that, and the other thing to the German people. He's not preaching kill the Jews mind you, not yet, but he is promising to turn things around. Who are you going to listen to? The kaiser? the man who cant bring his own country out of this depression, or the new guy on the block who says he's going to change everything?

    I know I'll get yelled at for comparing the two, but look at how a lot of people view Obama right now, he's this young, energetic man who wants to do all sorts of stuff to make our country a better place, and the public is just eating it up! Now, multiply that 100 times, and you get close to how people felt about Hitler in the early years.  

    Now, the hatred of Jews can be traced back a  millenia, and was shared by many people across Europe in the early days of the 20th century. Hitler already had a deep seated hatred for them by as early as 1914 (his own words, in the chapter about the start of the 1st world war in "Mein Kampf") and certainly by  the end of the 1st world war.

    He saw the treaty of Versailles as an indicator of the Kaiser's leadership being weak and inept, and he fed off of the collective defeat and shame of Germany, promising them a new "thousand year Reich". In short, the people saw him as the great redeemer, a new Frederick the Great who would deliver them from the hardship they had endured since their defeat in WWI. To say he was a xenophobic madman hellbent on world domination would be correct, to say he was anything less than a charismatic and powerful figure is foolish. He beguiled the German people (and himself) into believeing his will would see them thru, something he refused to contest, even when the Soviets were shelling Berlin and crossing the Oder river.

    So to deny that Facism was the premier catalyst in initiating WWII is not only foolhardy, it is plain ignorant.
