I believe WWll was a turning point war in our history. Hitler was a profoundly influential man of that era where people followed him without question and were mesmerized by his oratory skills, wooed by his social vision and eventually manipulated through fear. His world view and society vision fit in ways that were compelling to the German's. The scary part was the strength of his miliatry, the power of his will and the desire to rule the world was just around the corner had the alliance powers not taken the final action to push back Hitler. Though, by then, so many women, men and children had been killed and many were still suffering in concentration camps. How could we not know this was happening? I've added a link from the History.com website if you wanted to take a look and brush up on some history worth not repeating, ever.
WWll
After becoming Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Hitler swiftly consolidated power, anointing himself Führer (supreme leader) in 1934. Obsessed with the idea of the superiority of the “pure” German race, which he called “Aryan,” Hitler believed that war was the only way to gain the necessary “Lebensraum,” or living space, for the German race to expand. In the mid-1930s, he secretly began the rearmament of Germany, a violation of the Versailles Treaty. After signing alliances with Italy and Japan against the Soviet Union, Hitler sent troops to occupy Austria in 1938 and the following year annexed Czechoslovakia. Hitler’s open aggression went unchecked, as the United States and Soviet Union were concentrated on internal politics at the time, and neither France nor Britain (the two other nations most devastated by the Great War) were eager for confrontation.
Taking time to learn history, helps mankind prevent the repeat of catastrophic history in the future.
