He was the 4th child they had. His mother gave birth to two boys and a girl, but they all died. his mother worried about him a lot while he was an infant and a toddler and spoiled him a lot. When he was 5 his brother Edmond was born and in 1896 he got a sister.

In 1895 he started public school at age 6. He went to school in the village of Fischlham near Linz, Austria. Hitler had above average grades. His farther was very strict, he had retire and was home all day. The family moved a lot during these years. As a school boy he respected priests, and liked to pretend at home with his brother and sister that they were in church. His favorite game was cowboys and Indians. He also discovered his artistic ability in school. He was a talented sketcher and drawer. When Adolf's little brother was 6 he died of measles and that devastated him for along time. It was also time for him to go to secondary school. He wanted to go a classical school and study the arts, but his dad wanted him to follow in his footsteps and sent him to a technical school called Real schule.

Adolf did poorly in school row and had to repeat his 1rst year of high school. Adolf began to change in personality. He liked the opposite thing his farther did. A great importance to him was now German nationalism. While his farther dedicated to the Hapsburg Monarchy and worked for the Austria Imperial customs. This might have turned the Rebellious son towards Germany.

At the age of 13, Adolf lost his farther. His Dad died from a lung hemorrhage. He was sad his farther was gone. It was now the family financially well off. When he returned to school he tried a couple different schools, but still never did well. He finally dropped out at the age of 16 and never got his diploma.

When his inherited funds ran out, he ended up in shelter. He didn't want to get a job. He learned about extreme political idea there. He heard of Aryans-superior. He made postcards and pictures for a while for money. In WW1 1914 he volunteered for a Bavarnunt in German Army. He was temporarily blinded. He turned to politics after the war. He began to focus on German workers party (Nazi party) on Feb.24,1920 he spoke to 2000.He was the parties most successful recruiter. In 1921,he had enough support to call himself fuehrer. On November 8, 1923 Hitler and 600 started a revolution to take over the Government. He failed and was sentenced to five years for treason, but served only one. while in prison he wrote Meinkamf. The book Meinkamf is Hitler's interpretation of his youth, his political ideals, how he felt about race, and future plans for Germany. Meinkamf means my struggle. The book goes into detail on Hitler's racial philosophy. He strongly believed in the Aryan race which he described as, a Germanic man with fair skin, blond hair, blue eyes. He states the Aryans being the supreme form of human being, the master race. The inferior race he believed to be the Jews, Slavic people, meaning Czech, Polish, and the Russians. He did not believe in the equality of the races. Hitler's plans included the taking of their lands by force and using them for German enslavement, or to be eliminated. His goal was world domination by the German race. The race he loathed the worst was the Jews , throughout his writings he refers to them as parasites ,lairs, dirty without any culture, a maggot repulsive and the mortal enemy of the Aryans. This competition he had between the Jews and the Aryans would become the beliefs of the Nazi Germany and would spread., soon it would be taught in schools. When Meinkamf was first distributed in 1925, it didn't sell. After Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Millions of copies were sold.

When the stock market collapsed on Wall Street on Tuesday, October 29, 1929, it hurt the economic market worldwide. The German economy was especially effected because it was built out of foreign capital. The majority being loans from America and trade. When German exports were not going anywhere in the world, that halt industrial production. Workers were laid off, banks failed. Overnight the middle class families were cast into poverty and misery. Everyone was looking for a solution. Hitler knew his opportunity he was waiting for arrived. He had change strategic tactics and instead of using force ,he tried politics. He was very good at speech and knew what the people wanted to hear. He began to appeal to industrialist, and upper middle class socialites. Early in 1932,President Hindenburg reluctantly agreed to run for re- election despite his age and health. Hitler decided to oppose him, his slogan was "Freedom and Bread". Joseph Goebbels helped him campaign. He scheduled numerous speeches, sent and distributed propaganda plastered posters everywhere. On March 13,1932 Hitler got thirty percent of the votes in the election Hindenburg got forty- nine of the votes but failed enough of a majority. A run off election took place a month later. On April 10,1932 the people voted and gave Hitler 13,418,547 thirty-six percent of the vote. Hindenburg got 19,359,983 fifty-three percent. The eighty-five year old President was re-elected to another seven year term. In Jan,30,1933 Hitler was named Chancellor.

On march 15,1933 Hitler's goal to legally establish a dictatorship was in reach. A meeting was held on how to obstruct what was left of the democrat process to get an Enabling Act passed by the Reichstag. This law would allow Hitler to make laws, control the budget and approve treaties. Political enemies were arrested by the thousands and put in prisons. This was the beginning of the Nazi concentration camps. On March 23, an newly elected Reichstag met to consider passing Hitler's bill. If passed it would vote democracy out of Germany and establish the legal dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. Hitler made a speech to the public making false promises for votes. The vote was taken and Hitler had won. That was the end of the German Democratic Republic. Under Hitler dictatorship one existed to serve the state and obey the Fuhrer. Those who didn't were disposed of. Many agreed with Hitler, but many disagreed and left the country. In Germany now, there were constant, rallies and military parades. The swastika was present every where. Now that Hitler was in control he turned his attention to the hatred of the Jews.

The destruction of the of the Jews would begin in 1933, and would end years later with the worst human tragedies imaginable in all of history. Hitler also had trouble in his Nazi hierarchy. On Feb. 1938 , he assembled his cabinet and had them initialize a decree stating Hitler was to take command over the entire armed forces. Hitler hired and fired generals as he pleased. The German Armed forces were now in the hands of an amateur, self-taught strategist. Hitler's troops fought for many years with some success, but in the end he could not complete his mission to take over the world. On April 30, 1945, while on a battle field Hitler committed suicide.
