Adolf Hitler (Dictator)

Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945 and a central figure in World War II. He promoted extreme nationalism, anti-Semitism, and militarism, believing in the superiority of the "Aryan" race. Under his dictatorship, millions were persecuted, leading to the Holocaust, where six million Jews and others were killed. Hitler's aggressive expansionist policies initiated the war in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. His regime ended with Germany's defeat in 1945, resulting in widespread destruction in Europe and significant loss of life, ultimately shaping modern history and global relations.
