Even though there were many influential people at work during the 1930s, none of them made as big of an impact as Adolf Hitler did. He gained control of Germany and many other parts of Europe through force and brutality; however, the entire time, he maintained the support of the people. This support was primarily given out of selfishness and ignorance. Selfishness because people either wanted Germany to be more powerful or they wanted to protect what they had; ignorance because propaganda led the people to believe that Hitler was protecting them and doing what was best for the country. They chose to remain ignorant and blindly follow their new leader because he had a message of change. He was not protecting the country or changing it for the better. Instead, he was putting thousands of Jews in concentration camps, slaughtering people who did not meet a certain critera, and feeding his hunger for world domination.
