    Chronicle Adolf Hitler’s rise from failed art student to the political speaker to eventually gain control over Germany.

    Hitler’s experiences contribute to significant historical importance in Germany. This is because his actions made a tremendous impact on the lives of many people. He was known for his dictatorship leadership theory. His history began when he failed to meet his dream of becoming an exceptional artist. However, that failure did not limit him because he eventually became one of Germany’s prominent leaders. He was a leader of the Nazi party between 1920 and 1921and, later on, he became a chancellor in 1933, and after President Paul von Hindenburg’s death, he became the Führer of Germany (Heiden et al., 1944). Therefore, he assumed two tiles at the same time between 1933 and 1945. This paper seeks to describe Adolf Hitler’s rise to power as shown through his life experiences.

    Hitler was born on April 20, Austria-Hungary, and later on, on April 30, 1945, he died in Berlin, Germany. However, he was brought up in Linz by his two parents (Giblin, 2002). He had always aspired to become an artist, even though his dad wanted him to become a civil servant. After his mother died in 1908, he left his hometown in Linz and moved to Vienna to pursue his dreams of becoming an artist. This was after his artwork was rejected by the Academy of Fine Arts in Linz even though he had passed his examinations. In 1908, he applied again to the Academy of Fine Arts, and he got rejected once again. He, therefore, decided that Linz was not the ideal place to nurture his dream. However, he did not make it as an artist because he got frustrated and lost hope along the way.

    Later on, while he was still living in Vienna, he developed an intense interest in politics. Therefore, Hitler moved to Munich in 1913. He participated in the Austrian military service screening in February 1914; he was deemed unfit because of physical incapability. When World War 1 broke out, he had to present his petitions to Bavarian King Louis III to serve in that war. Days after submitting his request, he got a notification that he would be permitted to join the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. Therefore, he underwent some eight weeks of training and was deployed in October 1914 to Belgium. In Belgium, he participated in the First Battle of Ypres and served throughout the war. However, he got wounded in October 1916 and was hospitalized when the conflict ended. His service in the Myes war earned him heroic virtues of war because he was dedicated and committed to his service.

    After his discharge from the hospital, he took up political work in Munich in 1919. He served as an army political agent, where he joined the small German Workers’ Party in Munich. In 1920 he was made the leader of the party’s propaganda. This forced him to resign from the army to devote himself to enhance his position within the party. He in charge of the ‘National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei’ (Nazi) party (Davidson, 1997). He was also responsible for starting World War II, which led to the deaths of millions of people. During his leadership as a chancellor and Fuhrer, he prompted the Soviet Union’s power in different regions such as central, eastern, and Balkan Europe. This enabled his communist movement to acquire control in China, which led to the shift of power away from Western Europe and towards the Soviet Union and the United States. He was also responsible for the Holocaust, which led to the killing of six million Jews and millions of other people.
