Hitler wanted to conquer many lands to make Germany strong again. Thus he began by attacking countries such as Czechoslovakia first as they would face little resistance and also due to the fact that they had three million German- speaking citizens. However Germany wanted to avoid a conflict with countries such as France and Britain. Thus he met up and made an agreement with him, threatening to go to war with them if they intervened. After their successful attempt, Germany had control over Czechoslovakia by October 15th, 1938.

Thereafter, Germany proceeded to take over Poland on the first of September 1939, thus officially starting World War Two. Britain and France declared war on Germany then as they had signed a treaty with Poland prior to this to protect them if they needed help. However, Before their troops could descend heavily on Germany, Poland had already been conquered by Germany.

Germany soon began invading and taking over other lands such as the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark.
On the 22nd of June 1940, Germany signed an armistice with France and there was a ceasefire. This left Britain fighting alone as France had switched sides. German troops fought against the British but they were met by heavy resistance and could not defeat them. Hitler put off the idea of invading Britain as the Soviet Union was the only potential ally left in Europe for the British.

Hitler then tried to attack the Soviet Union but was unsuccessful in doing so. A German troop of 300,000 men were defeated. This was a major turning point in the war. Soon, the allies became more powerful with the help of the United States supplying the Soviet Union with weapons and supplies. This aided them in getting through the cold, harsh winter while still fighting the Germans.

By 1945, the Allies were slowly winning and Hitler became a broken man. He said that death would be a release for him from hs recent betrayals of his friends and supporters. Hitler married his wife, Eva Braun and on the next day(the 29th of April, 1945), Hitler and his wife killed themselves; Hitler shot himself on the temple and Eva drank poison.

Thus the Nazis began to lose power and the Allies gradually became more powerful and won the war. Hitker earlier on had blamed the Jews for causing the war, but in the end, it was probably by his own actions that caused World War Two as well as his own death. By trying to conquer countries and ridding himself of his enemies, he created a most powerful enemy: the Allies who rose up in power and worked together to overthrow Hitler and his troops. His fear and greed was perhaps what led to the death of the Fuhrer of Germany.
