The document provides an overview of Adolf Hitler and World War 2. It discusses that Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945 and led Germany's participation in World War 2. The war began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and eventually involved many countries around the world over the course of six years. Hitler pursued fascist and expansionist policies that violated the Treaty of Versailles, seeking to build greater Germany through annexing neighboring lands and pursuing racial ideology and anti-Semitism. This ultimately led to the Holocaust and World War 2, ending with Germany's defeat in 1945 and Hitler's suicide.
