Adolf Hitler
Early Life:
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, the fourth child of Aloise Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler in the Austrian town of Bravura. Two of his siblings died from diphtheria when they were children, and one died shortly after birth. Aloise was a customs official, illegitimate by birth, who was described by his housemaid as a "very strict but comfortable" man. Young Adolf was showered with love and affection by his mother. When Adolf was three years old, the family moved to Passau, along the Inn River on the German side of the border.Between the ages of six and eight, Adolf attended two different schools based upon where his family was living. He was rewarded and praised by his teachers for constantly having high marks and for acting properly in class.Once he was finished with primary school, his father enrolled him in the Realschule which focused more on matters such as science and technology than a traditional curriculum. Klara Hitler died from cancer when Adolf was nineteen and from then onward he had no relatives willing or able to support him. So, in 1909, he moved to Vienna in the hope of somehow earning a living. Within a year he was living in homeless shelters and eating at charity soup-kitchens. He had declined to take regular employment and took occasional menial jobs and sold some of his paintings or advertising posters whenever he could to provide sustenance.In 1913 Adolf Hitler, still a penniless vagrant, moved to Munich in southern Germany. Hitler during world war I At the outbreak of the First World War, in 1914, he volunteered for service in the German army and was accepted into the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment . Hitler fought bravely in the war and was promoted to corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class, the latter of which he wore until his dying day.

Why Did World War II Started?
After World War I ended in 1918, Germany had to give up land and was banned from having armed forces.In 1933 the German people voted for Adolf Hitler, who led a political party in Germany called the National Socialists or Nazis. Hitler promised to make his country great again and quickly began to arm Germany again and to seize land from other countries.The Second World War was started by Germany in an unprovoked attack on Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany after Hitler had refused to abort his invasion of Poland.
What Happened In World War II?
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (during which approximately 11 million people were killed)and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers (during which approximately one million people were killed, including the use of two nuclear weapons in combat) it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
