Answer 12

1) Hitler aggressively promoted the idea that Germany should become great at the expense of everyone else such as when it came to the forced annexation of territories where other Germans were the majority (the Sudetenland, for example). What was good for Germany would be good for Germans, so it went, and Hitler's appetite to achieve those ends eventually brought the country to war.

2) This is a huge question, but the short answer is that Hitler and the Nazis preyed on the Jews by inflaming currents of anti-Semitism by using them as convenient scapegoats for everything from the "stab in the back" conspiracy that led to Germany's defeat in WW1, the Versailles Treaty, and the collapse of the economy. Since Jews were stereotyped as "bankers and financiers" among other things, it was easy to blame them for the economic woes that later hit Germany during the Great Depression. The Nazis took those ingredients and boiled it all into a vast conspiracy against the German state. After that, it was all downhill from there.

3) The Rwandan Massacre, the Bosnian Genocide, the Holocaust, the killing fields in Cambodia -- all of these have one thing in common: promoting the delusional ideals of those in power abusing their authority to promote hate. As soon as people begin thinking of other people as "less than human", and then you give those people power, it's a long, slippery slope downwards.

4) The short answer is that many European countries prior to WW1 were locked into an entangling mix of alliances and treaties that obligated each other to come to the aid of their allies so if one of them got in trouble, it started a domino effect of pain. That's essentially what happened with WW1. In a nutshell:

- Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated by Gavrilo Princep, a Bosnian Serb
- Serbia is Russia's friend
- Ferdinand was heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne
- Austria - Hungary invade Serbia
- Russia mobilizes to defend Serbia
- Germany mobilizes to back their friend Austria-Hungary
- France and England mobilize to aid their friend, Russia, against Germany

...and that's how things went from bad to worse.
