The Nazi and The World War II

                 Author's Note: Reminder-This chapter might be similar to the other chapter

Like mentioned in 'Author's Note' at the start of this chapter, this chapter could look half similar to the chapter, 'Influences of History In-Story,' but it is more focused on the topic called the Nazi and The World War II, more focusing on the History section, having to do more research in particular too. 

Nazi ?

Nazi is an abbreviation for the word, "Nationalsozialistisch,"  or "National Socialist" and it's full name of the political party was "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterparetei"- the National Socialist German Workers' Party. In Germany that time, word "Nazi" was a homonymn for word "Naczi," which is an insulting term for "foolish clumsy person." So Nazi members never described themselves as "Nazi." Indeed, after 1932, the term "national socialist" was banned in the USSR, and Russian texts had to refer to them as "fascists", because the Kremlin didn't like the taint on the word "socialist" that had come about as a result of that party's use of the word in their name.

Using the Civil Service Law of April 1933, people in Germany began to commit homicides for Jews and kicking them out of their places in government agencies, state positions, etc. When Adolf Hitler rose to power in Nazi, rest of the political groups were dissolved or outlawed by the government, which led to Hitler's dictatorship. Soon later after the death of Hinderburg, the prior Reich Counsallor, Hitler took his place being the leader of Nazi and the Reich Counsallor, leading him to perfection of dictatorship. Later Hitler's principle came to guide all German life, making everything in Germany under his will. After all of these events, Adolf Hitler's power limit became close to infinite, leaving the destiny of Germany itself on Adolf Hitler's wills.

The World War II

During the First World War (1914-18), it kind of led to conflict of the initiation of the World War II which happened after about two decades after the World War I. By rising into the power in both economically and politically in an unstable way, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party rearmed the nation and allied with Italy and Japan for further plans of his world domination plan. After his takeover in Poland in the September of 1939, it caused the Great Britain and France to call war on Germany. Over the six years of the World War II, countless lives were taken away.

The Great War, or the World War I put Europe in harsh conditions and caused them to have desire for an avenge. After Adolf Hitler's wills became unlimited, he started calling himself the Führer or the Supreme leader in 1934. About his Triple Alliances secretly made between three countries; Germany, Italy, and Japan, wasn't known by the other countries including France, U.S., and the Great Britain due to their own problems at the situation. On September of 1939, Hitler invaded and took over Poland, causing the Great Britain and France to delcare war on Germany, beginning the World War II. In 1940, Germany raided Norway and started continuing this invasions sweeping threw many countries. Later on three countries: Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania joined the axis in 1941 and Hitler started his "Final Option," or the Holocaust.

Pacific Wars of World War II was during 1941~43, war between Germany and Great Britain, U.S. and Japanese because U.S. was the only nation who could take of Japan's aggrevation. Even though the Japanese blew up the naval base at Hawaii, U.S. won the Battle of Midway, causing more victories from then and finally winning from the war between Japanese, invading their homeland after few victories from their wars. By 1943, the American and Britain forces defeated Italy and Germans. The last of the Triple Alliances surrendered on January 31st of 1943.

The World War II proved to have most devastating conflict in history, leaving 45~60 million lives taken away, including 6 million from the Holocaust by hands of Nazi, also including millions injured,  just like aforementioned in this chapter. Although, the end of this war made all three countries; Japan, Italy, and Germany weak enough to never start another war again.
