Ch. 19 Outline Take notes on the following:
Hitler’s Rise to Power World War I Depression in Europe harms the economy Blames the Jews for Germany’s defeat in WWI Treaty of Versailles War reparations Built the Nazi Party with a parallel government to the existing German government.
Nazi Armbands Red = blood White circle = nationalism Swastika = Aryan struggle
Hatred of Jews Jews are blamed for everything. Hitler hated the Jews because they had their own courts and government. Jews controlled the $$$ and land.
Enabling Act Hitler has the sole power to propose laws and change the constitution. Banned books in 1933 Nazi party was the only one allowed
Night of the Long Knives Removal of people that Hitler felt were enemies of Germany. SS arrested or killed the top 400 SA leaders after calling them to a meeting. SS = Schutzstaffel (Protective Squadron) (Black uniforms) SA = Sturm Abteilung (Storm Section)(Brown uniforms) 4.5 million in number, called “storm troopers”
Nazi Beliefs Guide for Germany (Hitler youth) They believed that the Aryan nation was superior to all others. Defined Aryan's to be PURE descendants of the people who had lived in Austria and Germany. Aryan characteristics thin nose light or blond hair (usually with blue eyes) ability to trace their ancestry They felt it necessary for society that they destroy the retarded and others with handicaps. They planned to destroy all governments of Europe and replace them with Nazis, then after they had built their strength, they planned to take over the world, destroying all races other than the "pure" Aryans. They didn't just want to destroy the Jews and Blacks, it was everyone who didn't fit their Aryan profile.
