Death, blood, violence, hatred, segregation, these are just a few words that could describe the horrors that one man caused to too many people across Europe and in the whole world. It seems strange that this same man once had ambitions of becoming a priest in his Catholic church, or that he was even Catholic. Even stranger is the fact that Hitler dreamed of becoming a professional painter rather than a war leader. A simple push would have been enough to ensure that Hitler avoided causing the evil events he had caused to too many people. If we look closely, Hitler's life could be divided into a series of segments that will automatically go in chronological order to tell a story of grave suffering of innocent lives. The main points one could focus on are: Hitler's childhood, how he came to power, how he gained allies, the holocaust, Hitler's death and what his true plans for success were. On April 20, 1889 Braunau, Austria- Hunger gave birth to a man who would soon become famous, Adolf Hitler. His father, Alois Hitler, was a customs official and his mother, Klara Hitler, was a kind-hearted woman with her son. Hitler was one of five brothers, but he did not have to compete for his mother's love as three of his four brothers died due to the diphtheria epidemic that was spreading at the time, or measles. Only his sister, Paula Hitler, managed to survive to adulthood. As time passed, Alois and his family continued to move from place to place, from Braunau to Passau, then to Hafeld. For six months Hitler lived in a Catholic monastery. He joined the church choir and was best known for his gifted voice. In this same monastery he first witnessed the swastika, which would later be used as the main Nazi system...... middle of paper ......threw the Treaty of Versailles, and they wanted to destroy Soviet communism that was happening in their time. On November 1, 1936, Germany and Italy signed a friendship treaty to fight together. Then, on September 27, 1940, Italy, Japan and Germany signed a pact that would become known as the Axis Alliance. This shows that anyone who had a common interest with Germany was Hitler's ally, but those who opposed them were known as their enemies and had to be defeated. All of this was in Hitler's mind and he would not let anything stand in the way of his domination of the world. Works Cited • Hitler, Adolf. Mein Kampf – My struggle. 1st. 1 vol.
