Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was the Austrian-born leader of the Nazi Party and dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. Rising to power during a period of severe economic and political crisis, he dismantled democracy, militarized the nation, and launched World War II by invading Poland in 1939. Hitler's radical ideology of racial purity and territorial expansion driven by the concept of Lebensraum led directly to the Holocaust, resulting in the murder of six million Jews and millions of other victims. As Allied forces surrounded Berlin in April 1945, Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker.
