- Nazism, officially National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus), refers to the ideology and practices of the National Socialist German Workers' Party under Adolf Hitler, and the policies adopted by the dictatorial government of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. Payne, Stanley G. 1995. ...

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hitlerism
The term Hitlerism is seldom used and suggests that the ideology was simply a 'one-off' creation by Hitler himself, which is highly misleading. It sounds rather like a translation of the German Hitlerismus. This term was popular with those German commentators and historians who tried to personalize Nazi ideology and actions and detach the Nazi past from German history. The term is ideologically loaded and is best avoided.

What was the Naskapi Indian tribe religion?
Hitlerism
What Does Hitlerism Denote?
Hitlerism is perhaps a poor and less than accurate term to describe fascism. A country with a fascist regime places all important powers within the hands of the fascists that control the government. Voting is meaningless after it elects a fascist regime, or if by armed conflict, a fascist regime gains power in a nation.
What has the author Oliver Brown written?
Oliver Brown has written: 'Hitlerism in the Highlands' 'Scotlandshire' -- subject(s): Scottish National Party 'Exhibition'
Was hitlerism a pejorative term used by Nazis opposition and the media?
Some may have intended it that way, but it was/is hard to define what Nazism is; it cannot really be called Fascism, like Spain and Italy were, it cannnot really be called totalitarian, like the Soviet Union was. What was in existence was a 'cult of Hilter' he was useless as an administrator, all that he entailed was a figurehead that people wanted to please. Though Hitler did his best to stay true to the manifesto of the party that he joined, he also added items, and allowed others to do the same. The power structure and systems of government, state and party were unlike any before or since, one can almost only use Hitlerism and its derivatives to describe what occured.
How did Hitler's youth affect the Holocaust?
They grew up and took their place in German society. Most have renounced Hitlerism and the Third Reich but many are still convinced that der Fuehrer was right. They just keep it to themselves.

How were white people treated differently to black people?
They were denied jobs, as well as other things that were accessible to whites (such as riding in the back of the bus, not allowed to use public restrooms, etc). Also, they were lyched for no reason, other than being black. They had to fight for everything they did, and everything they had.
Why ethics called science?
The relationship between science and Ethics Experts say that the Modern World began on 1919 when a couple pictures takes from Sobral, Brazil and Occidental Africa proved a new theory of the universe, "The Theory of Relativity". This sounded as the voice of a new era, and it was. Due to this pictures, during most of the 1920´s, the world experienced a decline in the religious beliefs, especially among the educated people because they realized, thank to science, that the world "created by gods" and described in old books, never existed. Consequently, how can people even consider that science do not affect ethics? Throughout history, there have been thousand of scientists who, with their discoveries and ideas, have influenced the world. I would only describe three of them, which I consider the most influential thinkers of recent times. Our history begins with Galileo. He created on the XVII century, what became the ferment of the natural philosophy which was the origin of the scientific and industrial revolutions. On the other hand, The Newtonian physics which was a huge part of the XVIII century Enlightment also contributed to the modern nationalism and the revolutionary politics while the Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest was the key element in both, the Marxist concept of class warfare as well as the racial philosophies that shaped Hitlerism.
What were the Aryans of World War 2?
It's complicated but more or less, Aryans of WWII were essentially "Nordic Europeans"; that is, tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair skinned, white men. It really dates back to the racial pseudo-sciences of the late 1800's/early 1900's (which have since been debunked and are now extinct). The Nazis believed they were superior to everyone else and used perverted science to justify their claims. It gets complicated when you start breaking down the supposed racial groups and Nazi religious beliefs. Jews, Africans and Arabs were Semites and were not of the Aryan race. The Aryan race was made up of Europeans, Indians and Persians, however, the Europeans were supposedly "less corrupted" than the Indians and Persians who had "mixed with the Semitic races". The Nazis venerated old Norse mythology and Runic symbols, like the SS thunder bolts, but Nazi ideology was also influenced by India and Hinduism. The swastika, for example, was an ancient Hindu symbol and the word "Aryan" itself is an Indian term (that is still used in India today). In fact, there is an odd and very, very small religious cult called "Esoteric Hitlerism" that has perverted the Hindu religion. They believe Hitler was an "Avatar" sent by the Hindu god "Vishnu" to carry out his will. Very strange indeed... and insulting to the Hindu religion for that matter. Nazi chief, Heinrich Himmler (the instigator of the Holocaust) was said to have carried around the Hindu holy book, the Baghavad Gita, in his pocket and often quoted it to his friends. He funded many archaeological expeditions to Tibet (India was controlled by the British at the time so he couldn't go there) to look for clues of the origin of the Aryan race. When it was pointed out to him that the Roma people (or Gypsies), who he was exterminating in his death camps, were of Indian origin and fellow "Aryans", Himmler was said to have wrestled with it in his mind until he formulated an answer that "thru their endless wanderings, the Gypsies have intermixed with Semitic races and are more Semitic than Aryan". This isn't to say that all Nazis were influenced by Hinduism, because they most definitely were not. I say this to point out how strange and hard to understand Nazi Aryanism was. In fact, most Germans of the time could not understand it themselves. It's hard to explain or reconcile because most Nazis labeled all dark-skinned people as Jews and killed them all the same, regardless if they were from India or Palestine. Nazi religion wasn't really a unified belief system. That's partly why it's so hard to understand... that and it's completely and totally irrational and insane. Some were Christians, others were Pagans, Atheists, etc... To sum it up, the "Aryan ideal" of WWII was a backwards ideology that was fueled by a twisted, invented, pseudo-science that had existed long before Hitler was born. It was basically a tool used by European autocrats to justify their actions and get what they wanted.
Describe the nature and purpose of the Hitler Youth Movement?
Hitler formed the Hitler Youth to try to get people to join his army but it failed. Hitler was caught and was jailed for 1 year. Hitler formed the Hitler Youth to try to get people to join his army but it failed. Hitler was caught and was jailed for 1 year in panama. ________________________________________________________________ Sorry, but the above answerer has obviously confused the Hitler Youth with the failed Nazi takeover of Germany in 1923. Ten years later in 1933, the Nazis did take over Germany with Hitler as their leader. In 1934 Hitler wiped out his only serious Nazi rival, Ernst Rohm, leader of the SA (the guys in the brown uniforms) and replaced him with Heinrich Himmler and the SS (the guys in the black uniforms). The brown uniform of the Hitler Youth was somewhat similar to that of the SA, which probably caused confusion of the two organizations to the previous answerer. To answer the original question, the Hitler Youth was formed as a Nazi counterpart to the Boy Scouts, and to indoctrinate German boys into the Nazi mindset. It was not the only time that the Nazis took inspiration from outside Germany. Heinrich Himmler intended that his SS should be to Nazism what the Jesuit order was to Catholicism. ______________________________________________________________________ You guys are both idiots, do either of you know where Panama is. Kiwis for life Hitler started the Hitler youth to train young men to be the most elite soldiers and Nazis they could be in order to build the most successful army and to teach them that they are better then Jews and gays and all them. He also wanted to form a super race.
What led adolf Hitler to order German submarines to attack amrican ships?
America's support of the allies led Hitler to attack American ships.
What did the Britain do to encourage U.S. participation in the war?
When Pearl Harbor happened, that was what drew us in.During the second world war, it was Hitler's actions (and the overt threat he represented) that did more to get the US to assist the British, then anything the British were saying or doing.US President Roosevelt did not need encouragement to help Great Britain in its war with Hitler's Germany. After the war started in Europe on September 1, 1939, the United States was officially neutral. However, after the neutral countries of Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Yugoslavia, & Greece were attacked and conquered by Hitler (1940-1941), it became very clear to President Roosevelt that Hitler would not ultimately respect a nation's neutrality. The US government began to help the allies (France & Britain) in small ways at first. The assistance would grow as the threat from Hitler grew.The other major turning point in the US government's desire to assist the British, came in May 1940 when Germany defeated and occupied France. It appeared that the British would be conquered next by Hitler unless the US could help in anyway possible, short of war. The US stepped up its assistance to Britain in various ways.If you are interested, below is more details about the war in Europe, and US efforts to avoid (or prepare for) war or assist the allies (prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor & subsequent German declaration of war on the US):U.S. Neutrality & President Roosevelt's Efforts to Help G.B.: April 1940-December 1940April 1940: Iceland, a territory of Denmark, declares independence to avoid German occupation and permit Allied help.May 3, 1940: Greenland, another Danish territory, is declared under the protection of the United States as part of the Western Hemisphere neutrality (or Pan-American Security) zone.The American government & public are shocked and concerned by the invasion of the two neutral nations of Denmark & Norway.The rapid German successes and the inability of the Allies to stop Germany were clearly ominous signs to American leaders. President Roosevelt's already pessimistic view of French & British military capability is reinforced by these events.U.S. government & military establishment shocked and alarmed by the sudden defeat of France.U.S. military secret planning begins to consider the possibility that Britain will be occupied, and that any future U.S. involvement in the war will require operations to originate in North America.British government begins planning to set-up alternate government site in Canada.The strong Axis momentum in Europe (everyone assumes Germany will win) has many other negative effects: Many "Neutrals" (Sweden, Switzerland & Spain) are leaning towards a more overt support of Germany. More Balkan countries lean towards actively joining the Axis. The Soviets become more aggressive & overt in their territorial demands on its neighbors.American population grew increasingly uneasy about events in Europe.20 June 1940-FDR strengthens his cabinet by bringing in two prominent Republicans: Henry Stimson as Secretary of War; and Frank Knox as Secretary of the Navy. This will also help FDR solidify bi-partisan support of measures short of war. Stimson is a strong supporter of Lend-Lease aid to Britain. FDR hopes to get more Republicans on his side of the issues. Note: This is an election year.24-30 June 1940 Republican Party Convention in Philadelphia. Wendell Willkie is selected as the Presidential Candidate. The convention is overwhelmingly in favor of not intervening in the war in Europe.22 June 1940: Vichy France is created. The Vichy French will maintain control over France's colonies (and the military units in the colonies). The proximity of some French colonies to the USA is a potential threat. Will Axis military units be allowed to operate out of its colonies? The amount of influence that the Vichy Government has on French colonies is directly related to the proximity of the colony to Vichy France (and Axis forces).28 June 1940: Alien Registration Act (Smith Act) approved in Congress.It is becoming obvious that the German U-Boat threat is much greater than it was in WWI. With bases in Norway & France the modern U-Boat can patrol off the coast of the United States for the first time. This is clearly a real threat to both merchant shipping and US Navy warships.19 July 1940: FDR signs the "Two-Ocean Navy Expansion Act" that funds construction of ships so that total strength will rise to 35 battleships, 20 aircraft carriers, and 88 cruisers.27 August 1940: Selective Service Act approved (signed by FDR 16 Sept.), will require registration for the military draft in October.3 September 1940: US Congress approves the transfer of 50 WWI-era destroyers to the British in return for 99 year leases of naval bases in British territories (Antigua, St. Lucia, Trinidad, British Guiana, Bahamas, & Jamaica) in the Caribbean Sea & at Argentia, Newfoundland.27 September 1940: Japan joins Hitler & Mussolini in a military (cooperation) alliance called the 'Tripartite Pact', or the 'Axis' as it was called in Britain & US. However, Japan in not obligated to go to war with the current enemies of Germany and Italy. The three parties announce that they will declare war on any third party that attempts to enter the war against any one of the three. This is primarily aimed at the United States, to prevent America's entry into the war in Europe and prevent American interference in Asia.16 October 1940 US Registration begins for the military draft (Selective Service Act). 16 million Americans have registered for the draft. The first drafts start on 29 October 1940.5 November 1940 US Politics: FDR re-elected to unprecedented third term by a 10% margin of victory in the popular vote.
