Adolf
                  Hitler- (April 20, 1889-April 30,
                  1945)
                  
                  
 
                  Adolf Hitler is known in history as an evil,
                  warmongering dictator whose leadership of Germany
                  plunged the world into the most deadly and
                  destructive war in history. He is responsible for
                  the deaths of tens of millions of war casualties,
                  and is actually best known as the force behind the
                  Holocaust, the genocide of Europe's Jewish
                  population.
                  
                  
Hitler
                  was born in 1889 in Austria, a german-speaking
                  natin south of Germany. When World War One broke
                  out in 1914, Adolf Hitler joined the German Army
                  and served with distinction on the Western Front.
                  After the war ended, he settled into a life of
                  political activism in the so uthern German state of
                  Bavaria, where he soon took over leadership of the
                  small National Socialist German Workers’ Party
                  (better known as the Nazi Party). Under his
                  leadership, the fledgling Nazi Party grew and began
                  attracting large numbers of Germans unhappy with
                  the miserable condition Germany found itself in as
                  the losing power from World War One.
