1WORLD WAR II HISTORY
Introduction
The purpose of the following paper is to discuss the important factors of the Second
World War. Many strange things took place during this war since it was a decisive war about
who would gain the upper hand in the world. Therefore, it was very much evident that many
people, political parties, ethnic groups, and numerous resources had come and gone. This was the
ultimate struggle to gain power that involved the most powerful countries in the world and their
allies. Millions of people died and ultimately the present United Nations was formed.
The rise and fall of Hitler was probably the most eventful thing during this war. This is
why Hitler made a huge impact in this war. Hitler's contribution to world politics and warfare is
still debatable. In this paper, Hitler and his Nazi party will be discussed. His aggression and his
political point of view are quite interesting for its impact on world politics. The historical events
of Hitler’s conquests and his activities would be discussed here as well. Therefore, it is quite
clear that the whole texture of this World War had changed when Hitler arrived on the scene.
Narrative events from history
The particular narrative event that will be discussed in this paper is that of Hitler’s attack
of Russia. This probably might have caused the downfall of Hitler. It has been seen from the past
events that Hitler was a very arrogant yet discipline, cruel and strong administrator. The
formation of the Nazi party by Hitler and their activities created a storm of critiques around the
countries. Before proceeding with the events, his early life and his political backgrounds should
be discussed to understand this matter better (Spielvogel: 212). He was born in the year 1889 on
the 20th of April in a small town in Austria near the frontier region between Austria and

Germany. After the death of both his parents, he moved on to Vienna and learned many political
ideologies that would later go on to give shape to his Nazi beliefs (History.com).
He joined the German Armed Forces during the First World War and showed his
courageous activities in Belgium where he was deployed. He went on to win Iron Cross First
Class medal during fighting in Belgium. Therefore, he became very active in the national issues
and took part in the national politics of Germany as well (Adamthwaite: 90). During the ending
of 1921, Hitler took the leadership of the Nazi Party in his hands. Therefore, it was quite crucial
for him to gain popularity among his followers and the support of German people. He even went
on to disregard the terms and conditions of the Versailles Treaty that was signed in 1919.
Therefore it became quite apparent that he wanted to take revenge of German defeat in the First
World War.
After many years after these events, in the year 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet
Union went on to sign the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact under which both parties agreed
to not take any military action against each other in the next ten years. This was indeed a kind of
peace treaty. Joseph Stalin, the Communist leader of the Soviet Union, regarded this pact as a
document that would establish peace between these powerful nations in Europe. Therefore, he
was also given the time to capitalize Soviet Military forces and make them stronger of any
further acts of aggression took place in the already heated scenario between these two countries.
He went on to invade Poland without any pre-information. In this German-Soviet
Nonaggression Pact, a secret agreement was made to organize plans how these two countries
would divide the Eastern part of Europe (Overy: 33). In the year 1939, Germany invaded
Czechoslovakia that was against the agreement made with France and Great Britain in 1938.
