Notes

Introduction

1
. Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany in 1933. His government was strongly anti-democratic and emphasized obedience to the state. His Nazi Party promoted the idea that the German race was superior to all others and that “inferior” races, such as the Slavs of Eastern Europe or the Jews, should be enslaved or eliminated. Hitler was also determined to restore Germany's position in Europe, which had been severely weakened as a result of Germany's surrender to France, Britain, and the other victors after the First World War.
