Adolf Hilter was a Nazi Leader in Germany and one of the most powerful dictators of the 20th Century. He was the National Socialist German Workers Party leader after the World War I and took over the government leadership in 1933. Hitler had a lot of impact in the German history for various reasons.

Hitler was feared leaders and one of the influencers of the World War II through his attacks such as his invasion of Poland. He influenced the Germans to carry out attacks on various by invading Europe and North Africa during his reign. He had a strong passion for wars as he led his army to various battles to expand his territory. Some of the battles during his time involved one fought with the Soviet Union in which they lost terribly. Another thing that made Hilter famous is his work as the lecturer in the department of education where he lectured the returning soldiers on the possible dangers of socialism, communism, and pacifism. He contributed to the WWW II largely by ensuring that his soldiers, the Germans took part in the war making it last for a long time. Hitler contributed to the discrimination of non-Germans such as the Jews by separating them and placing them in camps. The holocaust was also Hitler’s contribution in which millions died due to his hatred for the non-Germans.

The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, had a big impact on the US and the world’s way of life especially on issues concerning insecurity and human rights. After the attacks, the US authorities banned airplanes from flying through their airways leading to a transport crisis. Many people had already made their bookings in different places and had to travel. The people decided to use their cars and reach their destinations by the roads, which led to many accidents. Many died in road accidents and several others were injured. Another impact of the attack was increased illnesses for the rescuers and citizens who resided near the attack scene. Several people complained of chest illnesses after the attack, which can be associated with the air that contained high levels of carcinogens. In fact, the estimated number of deaths was 1,595 a figure that was almost half the ones who died in the attack. The attack led to a new focus on combating terrorism in the world and so far, the Al-Qaida group has not been able to do a major attack. America partnered with other countries in fighting terrorism through funding and trading. Democracy in the US was thwarted for some time as the president ordered retaliatory attacks in which they bombed mosques and bazaars in Pakistan. The US lost trust from many nations after the retaliatory attacks as many countries and people all over the world no longer believe in the America’s claim of protecting human rights. Many do not trust other claims by the US such as the campaign for climate change, respect for life, or freedom of information. Countries in the world became more cautious on the ways of handling their citizens by ensuring that there is equality, especially in religious matters. The attack also resulted to fear of the Islamic religion, as the al-Qaida group is associated with Islam.
