Adolf was born in Braunau-am-inn, Austria on April, 20 1889 to Alois and Klara Hitler. Of course being born in Austria made him a native Austrian not a native German. As a young child, Adolf didn’t get along real well with his peers. He did very poorly in school, and even dropped out early to pursue a dream of becoming an artist. This too would prove not to be the thing for Adolf. He applied to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts and was turned down. Adolf’s mother, Klara, was his only living relative willing to support, and when she died in 1909, Adolf was forced to move to Vienna in search of a better way of life. Adolf was forced to bum around for a while because he refused to take regular employment.
Adolf had a few weaknesses himself and strengths. His weaknesses would have been his self delusion, inferiority feelings and abuse of powers, and some strengths would be his great military strategies, commandeering style and that he was a very clever man. Being the oldest child, Hitler received his father's civil service pension. It was a large sum of money, more than most people made in wages and meant that Hitler did not need to find work. He spent his days reading and walking around Vienna studying buildings, visiting museums, or painting. Hitler had always hated non-Germans, such as Jew and Slavs, and while in Vienna his hatred began to increase more and more. Hitler considered himself a German as many of the German speaking Austrians did. He believed that different nationalities should not be treated the same way.
About 1909 Hitler received call-up papers to join for military service. He didn't want to serve for Austria; therefore, he ignored the papers. It took authorities four years to catch up with him. When they caught up with him in 1913, they forced him to take a medical examination. He failed; they said he was too weak for battle and unable to bear arms. Hitler enjoyed being in the army. He felt he was a part of a group fighting for the same dream. He wanted to prove that Germany was still a superior power. At the thought of being in a battle, Hitler was excited. He impressed his commanders when he would volunteer himself for a dangerous mission.
He felt victimized by the Jews, he blamed a Jewish doctor for his mothers death, he blamed a Jewish professor for rejecting his artwork when he applied to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and he blamed them for the German loss of World War 1. He could not accept the fact that he was poor and living in terrible conditions. As a result, the blamed the Jews for getting him where he was. Basically he felt victimized so he flipped the table over and blamed them. He claimed he could see the future and that this was the future race of humanity, the best possible race ever, so he tried to speed up the process.
I feel that Hitler wanted recognition. He desperately wanted to belong and to be good at something. His overly strict father and overly indulgent mother did not help him develop coping skills. His mother's death plunged him into despair and grief, and his rejection by the Vienna School of Fine Arts pushed him over the edge. Hitler was mentally disturbed. His orchestral drawings were top-notch, and his landscape paintings were not bad. I feel that if he were accepted at the Vienna School of Fine Arts, he would not have had such a chip on his shoulder, and WWII may not have happened. The consensus is that Adolf Hitler took a cyanide capsule and shot himself in the head on April 30, 1945 in his bunker in Berlin. Soviet forces were only about half a mile away. There is nothing surprising about his suicide. He had gambled like crazy - and lost. What's more, he'd made himself absolutely hated.
In conclusion you can see Hitler was looking for someone to pay for what happened to Germany in World War 1. The war debt had to be paid. If Adolf was accepted to the Academy of Fine Arts World War 1 in my opinion would not have even happened and he would not have been hated by so many millions around the world, his whole life would have been in a different path. All he wanted was to be accepted into that school and since he didn’t everything went downhill for him and he ended up in this kind of history.
