I think Napoleon Bonaparte said "History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon", which I believe. I would naturally want to find evidence that supports my beliefs, and being hated as a great villain when you were not in fact would just support that belief. | ||

about a third of all people (if we extrapolate these results to the entire world population) would, if given the choice, press a button which launches hundreds of nukes, resulting in the death of billions of people, right before their death rather than dieing normally(dieing normally means you WILL be forgotten, mabye not right away but within 2-3 generations you will) So if we assume that people who voted "hated" actually mean it and aren't trying to be "deep" (whatever the hell that means) then why dont 1 of 3 people go on a killing spree before they die? sorry but i dont buy the results of this poll. | ||

From wikipedia: On July 21, 356 BC, Herostratus set fire to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus in what is now Turkey... Measuring 130 metres long (425 feet) and supported by columns 18 metres high (60 feet), it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Far from attempting to evade responsibility for his act of arson, Herostratus proudly claimed credit in an attempt to immortalize his name. To dissuade those of a similar mind, the Ephesian authorities not only executed him, but attempted to condemn him to a legacy of obscurity by forbidding mention of his name under penalty of death. | ||

Given that Germany had previously been a very proud nation, they jumped at the chance to be considered equals or even superior to the rest of the world. Had Germany not been in the state it was in, Hitler never would have came into power. While that may be true, his speeches are still extremely compelling. I'm not saying that Germany's state in the aftermath of the first world war wasn't part of the cause, but Hitler's speeches were able to inspire an entire nation of broken, battered people. That in itself is an incredible feat. Too bad he decided to be a real dickface. | ||
