Prior to Hitler Germany had a Weimar (vimar) Republic. It was a democracy. The president was was Paul Von Hindeburg. He appointed Hitler as the Chancellor. About a year later Hindeburg died, and Hitler made himself the leader. Prior to WW2 a few bad things Hitler did were getting rid of the Weimer Republic. He also took away Jews rights. He basically controlled what they could do. They had to wear the star of David to make sure they were differentiated. First he put them in like, slums, then concentration/slave camps, and lastly, the death camps. Originally Hitler wanted to send the Jews and other people he didn't like to Madagascar.Their military strategy was Blitzcrieg. They would do an airplane attak to hurt them first. they would try to take out transportation and communication. Then they brought in the tanks, infantry, and mechanized units like trucks and things. And to take over a lot of people. Poland, Norway. France, and so many others were taken over. Japan was one of Germanys allies. They were a member of the axis powers. After the war was over they split Germany into East and West Germany until 1991.Italy felt slighted because the the Treaty of Versailles. Between WW1 and 2 they had a Constitutional Monarchy under Vicotrio Manuel. Beinito Musilline was working his way up. When Beinito got into the government he formed a group called the National Fascists party. At first he was strengthening the economy, getting jobs, and strengthing the military. He was accredited the the trains running on time. Building up the Military was also the downfall of Italy. Benito got a big head and started trying to take other land back. Hitler had to bail him out many times during ww2. Benito was invating Albania, and Lithuania, and other countries, but he couldn't. He wanted to dominate the southern portion of Europe. He wanted the Mediterranian, and he wanted to control a lot of Africa. Benito's main thing was that his people had no voice in the government or economy. Benito was an atheist. His mother forced himto go to Catholic school. Later in his years he became an elementary school teacher.
