Hitler's rise to power began in the aftermath of World War I, capitalizing on Germany's economic and political instability. His charismatic leadership and nationalist rhetoric resonated with a disillusioned populace, enabling the Nazi Party's ascent. Through propaganda, intimidation, and political maneuvering, Hitler consolidated power, dismantling democratic institutions and establishing a totalitarian regime. The Third Reich's aggressive expansionist policies, coupled with its racist ideology and brutal suppression of dissent, terrified Europe, ultimately leading to the devastating outbreak of World War II.
