Adolf Hitler was the chancellor and later dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945. Under his leadership, Nazi Germany launched World War II and committed some of the worst atrocities in human history, including the Holocaust, which led to the deaths of millions. His military ambitions caused destruction across Europe, and his ideology fueled hatred and oppression. Adolf Hitler’s rule came to an end in April 1945, when he took his own life as Allied forces closed in on Berlin. His legacy is one of devastation and serves as a lesson on the dangers of extremism.
