Hitler was convinced that Germany ought to be a supremely powerful nation and therefore could not believe that losing the war could be Germany’s fault. His view was that somebody must have betrayedGermany. Following the First World War, the victorious Allies forced Germany to pay huge amounts of money and goods in compensation.
The Treaty of Versailles also took away German lands. Hitler along with many others felt that Germany was being treated unfairly. The newly elected German government (the Weimar Government) faced enormous problems. Unhappy people wanted a leader who could make Germany strong again. Hitler firmly believed that he could be this man.

Modern Germany had not been created until 1871. In the 19th and early 20th centuries strong nationalist ideas had developed. Many right-wing Germans believed that the German people were the ‘master race’. At the end of the First World War there was extreme poverty and unrest in Germany. The huge loss of life in the war had made some people think that life was cheap and others to feel there was nothing to lose. Certain trends in cultural and social life were frightening to many ordinary people, who had grown up in a culture that looked down on anything self-indulgent. Hitler hoped to win the support of such people, and so he promised to clean up Germany and to return it to a tradition of order led by a political ‘strong man’.

Hitler had a racist world view. He believed that people could be separated into a hierarchy of different races, where some races were superior and others were inferior. Hitler believed the German race to be the superior race, and called the German race ‘Aryan’.
Hitler considered Jews to be an inferior race of people, who set out to weaken other races and take over the world. Hitler believed that Jews were particularly destructive to the German ‘Aryan’ race, and did not have any place in Nazi Germany.
Hitler also wanted to rid Germany of the disabled, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, and other minorities that did not fit in to his idea of an Aryan race. The Nazis labelled these groups ‘a-social’.
Hitler was an extreme nationalist, believing the German ‘Aryan’ race should dominate. His expansionist policies sought ‘Lebensraum‘ for the German people. Hitler wanted to create a generation of young Aryans who were physically fit and totally obedient through programmes such as Hitler Youth. He believed these policies would unite Germany and ensure it was the strongest nation on earth.
Hitler developed and publicised all of these ideas in his books, Mein Kampf (1925) and Zweites Buch (1928), and speeches throughout his time in power.
