Effects of Nazism



The most obvious effects of Nazism are World War II the Holocaust, the loss of millions of lives, and the displacement of millions more. 

Germany as a whole also faced consequences for the actions of the Nazi Party. Germany lost about 20% of her land. All Germans living in the lost land were expelled, killing nearly 1.8 million people in the process.

World War II

One of the most obvious and direct effects of Nazism was World War II, beginning on September 1st, 1939, with the German invasion of Poland. It was the deadliest military conflict in history, killing over 60 million people, or 2.5% of the world's population. War raged for nearly six years, from the invasion of Poland to Hitler's suicide in his bunker on April 30th, 1945, alongside his wife of 40 hours, Eva Braun.

The Holocaust

The Holocaust was one of the largest acts of genocide in history, running from 1933 to 1945, and killing about six million Jews, two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The Nazis killed by taking Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's witnesses, and the physically or mentally disabled from their homes, relocating them to concentration camps. They traveled to the camps by train, hundreds of people crammed into one train car, with no food or water. The journey took days, and many died before they even arrived at the camp. 

 Once in the concentration camps, the able-bodied men were forced to do hard labor, while women, children, and the elderly were killed, usually by gas chambers. The workers were fed little food, and only allowed a couple hours to sleep on their cramped, wooden beds. Typhus, Typhoid, Dysentery, and Tuberculosis were common among the prisoners. Many died from the diseases, even though they could have been easily cured. By the end of the Holocaust in 1945, over 11 million people had been killed in the Nazi death camps.

Long-Term Effects

As punishment for the war, Germany was forced to give up 20% of its land, getting the shape it has today, and the Germans living in that land were displaced, alone killing a million Germans. Additionally, people (even today) discriminate against Germans, believing them to all be racists and Neo-Nazis.
