Adolf Hitler

Category: Politics = Background: = Guten Tag, My name is Adolf Hitler. I was born on the 20th of April, 1889 in Austria in a town called Branau am Inn. My father died early on in my life. When I was young, I wanted to become an artist. I quit school when I was 16 years old. I did this because at that time, I suffered from lung problems and unfortunately I did not do very well in school. My interest in art enlarged a lot over the years, and therefore, I took a chance and I applied to Vienna Academy of Arts for painting. I applied two times. The first time, I did not pass the entrance exam. This was a huge disappointment but I tried again. The second time I applied, I wasn't even allowed to do the entrance exam. It was a very hard time because only two months later, my mother passed away with breast cancer. I was very close to her and it was awful seeing her go. In order to receive money to survive, I sold postcards with my architectural drawings. My mother also had some money left which I was able to use. With these things happening in my life while growing up, there are a few things that I may or may not regret doing. I do believe that my background has a lot to do with how I acted as I became older.

Achievements:

"...I overcame chaos in Germany, restored order, enormously raised production in all fields of our national economy...I succeeded in completely resettling in useful production those 7 million unemployed who so touched our hearts...I have not only politically united the German nation but also rearmed it militarily, and I have further tried to liquidate that Treaty sheet by sheet whose 448 Articles contain the vilest rape that nations and human beings have ever been expected to submit to. I have restored to the Reich the provinces grabbed from us in 1919; I have led millions of deeply unhappy Germans, who have been snatched away from us, back into the Fatherland; I have restored the thousand year old historical unity of German living space; and I have attempted to accomplish all that without shedding blood and without inflicting the sufferings of war on my people or any other. I have accomplished all this, as one who 21 years ago still an unknown worker and soldier of my people, by my own efforts..."- Adolf Hitler Speech of Accomplishments on April 28, 1939.

I believe that I overcame chaos in Germany. When things were rough in Germany, I solved the most difficult labor argument by putting anyone in jail that refused the dictates of the German Labor Front.

I also created jobs and one of my biggest projects was to create work programs that employed a lot ofmedia type="youtube" key="lZQ4yQDIf5k" width="425" height="350" align="right" people. I wanted to create Autobahns because it would be very useful to us especially for the military mobilization. The Autobahns could also be used as runways for aircrafts at several times. I think this was a very good achievement because I felt like I helped and made people happy.

I have strong charisma and I was able to unite the German people politically. About 90 percent of Germany agreed with the thoughts I had.

When I entered the politics, many people say that it was the start of one of the darkest periods in mankind. I don’t understand why they think that because I feel like I made a good cause for Germany. After all, all I wanted was to prevent communism from coming to the west world including Germany. Therefore, I wanted to expand Germany and get rid of all Jews whom I believe were communists and the ones that made Germany lose the First World War. This became consequences to the world and the war started. I did not want it to become a war but unfortunately, it did. I think this was the biggest change that I made because it became so big and so many people were affected or included in this.

Learner Profiles:

Communicator- I believe I am a communicator because I am able to talk in front of many people and express ideas in ways that is very convincing to others.

Risk-taker: I had many ideas that I explored and I shared them with Germany and I was confident that these ideas were ones that would help Germany.

Looking at the IB learner profiles after everything that has happened, I can see that I am not much of one. I think I should have been more thoughtful about what I was about to do and reflect on previous experiences to not make big mistakes that I knew will affect many people. I also think I should have been more open-minded, meaning that I should have respected other believes and thoughts.
