Name: Adolf Hitler
Country of origin: Austria
Education: Hitler dropped out of his school, Realschule, at the age of 16. In 1907 he then high hopes of becoming an artist by going to Vienna, the capital of Austria/Hungary. However, failing the entrance examination of the Academy of Fine Arts twice, crushed his dreams of creating art.
Category 2-
Hitler moved to Munich, Germany, in 1913.he wanted to fight for the Austrian army but it called him for a physical examination. Hitler failed, and was found unfit for service. When the world war began in 1914 Hitler volunteered immediately for service in the German Army, a little last minute, but he was accepted. He served as a messenger on the Western Front for most of the war, taking part in some of the bloodiest battles. Hitler was a great soldier and was decorated twice for bravery. Even though Hitler was brave, he could only rise to the corporal military level. When Germany surrendered in November 1918, Hitler was in the hospital recovering from temporary blindness and other minor wounds. The news of the armistice had shaken Adolf Hitler. He believed that Germany was in trouble and threatened and that he must attempt to save them.
Hitler particularly disliked Jews; this was because he believed that the Jews were the main cause of Germany being defeated. Hitler thought the Jews “stole” the victory from Germany, so he ordered them removed and killed in countries he controlled. Concentration camps were set up by Hitler where about 4 million Jews were murdered. Hitler's team of soldiers killed about 6 million European Jews. He also killed about 5 million other people regarded as racially inferior or politically dangerous, by Hitler. Altogether Hitler and his force killed over 15 million people, most of which, innocent.
Category 3-
Hitler was an evil tyrant who killed around 15 million people. The innocent people were killed by machine guns, gas chambers, and many died from their body just stopping from either starvation or abuse. Hitler maintained his power, leading by fear and violence. Basically if you didn’t believe what he did you would die. Many people were put in prison or concentration camps, never to get out. Ruling by fear seemed to be a successful tactic for him. Hitler was also a part of the Nazi party, an organization that shared his hatred for the Jewish people. Adolf Hitler got his information out by letting people know how terrible the Jews were, and telling people why they should be killed. He used censorship to conceal the truth on how awful he was for killing these innocent people. Propaganda, spreading misleading knowledge to the public, played a huge role in informing people and gaining supporters.
Category 4-
Hitler was a strange man, not quite right. He enjoyed watching acts, such as the circus, only for the reason that people were putting them self in danger only for his entertainment; this ties into the fact that he tortured millions of people. He watched circuses on his spare time for fun and entertainment. The danger of the shows delighted him. Although he liked the circus, wild animal acts didn’t interest him, that is, unless a woman was putting herself in danger in the act. It’s no wonder this twisted man killed many innocent people. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about what Hitler did, but it’s kind of funny that he enjoys the same things we do; only he enjoys them for an absolutely different reason.

Self Reflection.
1. Almost everything! I had no idea that the Arab springs was going on! So I learned a lot of interesting facts from where it took place to who ruled as of when the Arab springs happened.
2. Yemen- their leader at the time of Arab Springs was Ali Muhammad Mujawar
Egypt- Capital city- Cairo
Libya- 97% of the population’s religion is Sunni Muslim
Tunisia- Population is 10,732,900
3. -Peasants tired of working so hard and getting nothing
-Bourgeoisie didn’t want to pay any more taxes
-philosophes began forming new ideas of democracy
4. The Arab Springs were happening in the general area of the Middle East.
5. Joseph Stalin was a mean Tyrant who killed many people.
6. Adolf Hitler was also a mean tyrant who killed many Jews by gas chambers, machine guns, and abuse.
