World War I devastated Europe, leaving the continent destabilized and millions dead.
This instability and the rise in power of Adolf Hitler, in an economically and politically unstable Germany, led to the start of another war in Europe.
When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, there was already widespread resentment among the German people over the harsh terms imposed on their country in the Versailles Treaty which had ended the Great War, WWI.
After rising to power, Hitler quickly consolidated power in the German government and changed his title to Führer, which translates to "supreme leader."
Hitler believed there was a superiority among the Germans, leading him to become obsessed with creating a supposedly superior “Aryan race.” To do this, he believed Germany needed to grow in order to give the German people the chance to expand. Hitler began to secretly rearm Germany, a violation of the Versailles Treaty.
