Hitler

Adolf Hitler was a German politician and leader of the Nazi Party, who rose to power as Chancellor in 1933 and later Führer. He promoted aggressive nationalism, anti-Semitism, and racist ideologies, which led to the persecution of Jews and other minorities. Hitler's expansionist policies sparked World War II, resulting in widespread destruction and the Holocaust, in which six million Jews and millions of others were murdered. His leadership ended with Germany's defeat in 1945. Hitler's actions are widely condemned for their brutality and the devastating impact they had on millions of lives.
