Question #a4b1b
1 Answer
Hitler stirred the emotions of fear and patriotism.
Explanation:
In WWII Hitler was a ruler on the Axis Powers, those being Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan.
As you most likely know, Hitler was trying to create the world to be a full Germanic society. Although his main focus was Jews, it is said that he was planning to expand it to any other race/culture that didn't fit his "blonde hair and blue eyes" standard. Anyone that also appeared to be a threat to his power were typically affected by those limitation this category of people were given.
Anybody that was part of that focus group he would send to some sort of concentration camp to either work to death or directly kill in a gas chamber. Naturally, people didn't want to die so they'd be obedient and follow Hitler out of fear.
How Adolf Hitler Rose to power in the first place was talking himself to the top. Since WWI left Germany in an economical depression due to the fees France and others demanded, people became desperate. Hitler at the time offered people an easy way to fix this depression, the condition was they had to support him no matter the cost. He said was something along the lines of "Why give money to France when they're sitting in Luxury and we're barely getting by." Plus he had a reputation as a strong military character so people knew he would take action, none of these people predicted mass murder
Anyway once he had a substantial following he tried a few different tactics to be put in control but none of them work and he also got thrown into prison at some point for that, but luckily for him prison gave him plenty of time to write Mein Kampf. After that he was chosen to be Chancellor (which is basically a co-president) receiving help from his now large following.
Not much later, an important government building burnt down, which political leaders blamed on communist people. This gave him his first group of people to acceptably discriminate against. Fortunately for him, the actual president died soon after giving him pretty much full power in the weak government system on top of him slowly extracting people with conflicting opinions against his own.
So he finally decided to blame Communists and Jews. Communists because people already hated them from the fire and they were a threat to his power (although he wasn't much better). Jews because Hitler had to blame somebody for losing WWI and since they were typically rich and a decently small percentage of society he could target them without much opposition. The reasoning I think he told the public was 1, they angered God (most of Germany is Christian) by praying wrong. 2, once killed Hitler could take the riches for himself.
Then once reforming Germany, conquest started officially beginning
WWII for Europe.
Collectively, this long history I just explained describes the hatred Germans were given towards France and some of their allied countries and the Communists and Jews "rotting" German society developed a fire of patriotism Hitler only helped grow, leading people to support him
IDK much about Mussolini but this is the story behind Hitler and his affect on the public. Hoped this helped!
