Hitler's Fatal Mistake: The Fall of the Third Reich

ÖZET

The First World War, fought between 1914 and 1918, was described as the war to end all wars, but as the process of history attests, this was not the case. Consequently, when the issues of reparations and redistribution of land came to a head, within 20 years of an armistice being signed, matters accelerated at an alarming speed, into a full declaration of war on Adolf Hitler's Germany, in September, 1939. It was evident that Adolf Hitler was prepared to go to any lengths, not only to put Germany back on the European map as a force to be reckoned with, but also build a German Empire. With the declaration of war on September 3rd, the fight would be long and bitter, and Hitler’s decision to destroy his non-aggression pact with Stalin was a fatal mistake that would cost him dearly. Europe becomes a maelstrom of changing power bases, as Adolf Hitler’s Thousand Year Reich begins to crumble before his eyes.
