What is the third reich?

Question

And why did Hitler hate the jews so much??

Answer 1

I agree with Dane's answer for the most part.

I don't totally agree with the first line.

The Third Reich was the third significant empire in Europe in Hitler's mind. But many of the symbols Hitler used were from the prior empires like the Roman empire. He was trying to show that his regime was a legitimate heir to the prior empires in Europe.

There are many theories about why Hitler hated Jews including the ones Dane gave. Here are a few more.

Hitler also believe Jews controlled European banking, gold, overall finances, and other major business interests.

Also since Germany was rebuilding after WWI, they were strapped financially.

Hitler also wanted to have control of great works of art. By confiscating the Jewish wealth the administration had access to these items and could use them as the say fit.

Answer 2

The Third Reich was the Government of Germany under Hitler.
The reason he hated the Jewish people so much, he blamed them for Germany's economic ruin after WW I. The only one he should have blamed, should have been the arrogant and pompous Kaiser Wilhelm who started World War I, after the war was lost, he went onto Exile in Holland and lived there quite comfortably, while Germany suffered. Hitler repeated the insanity and started WW II, many people believe that he was mentally ill and a Sociopath, which may explain some of his unbelievable crimes he committed against humanity, but never excuses them.

Answer 3

the third reich was meant to be the third empire in europe, and Jews have been the scapegoats for so many things, and there is so many ideas about y hitler didnt like them, partly because they were doing so well in Austria, and there are some theories that say he caught something off a Jewish prostitute, but whether thats true or not is up to u to research and decide.

Answer 4

reich means empire. the first one was the holy roman empire in the "middle ages" (actually located in Germany) the second was at the time of Bismarck (ended after WW1) and Hitler's was the third one.

Why did he hate Jews? beats me- simply as it makes no sense. Many of the jews he had murdered were loyal citizens of Germany and Austria, often decorated veterans of WW1 or the children of veterans.
To make things more absurd, during WW2 nazi germany had a huge demand for even unskilled workers while at the same time murdering educated and skilled people in concentration camps. Simply makes no sense. The guy must have had a few screws loose in his cap, and his followers must have had even more- which did not make them any less deadly. Same thing I guess with todays islamofascists

Answer 5

Third Reich was to be the third significant empire in Europe.

Hitler hated the Jews because of his mother, who was a jew. He also was phobic about women, but of course he couldn't very well gas all the women in germany- so he lashed out at the jews instead.

There's also a theory that he was embittered when Jews rejected his application to an institution to study art.

Answer 6

Hitler hated the Jews because they tried to dominate the German economy by giving preferential treatment through access to both the availabilty and cost of finance...as well as only trading amongst themselves...

Answer 7

It's similar to the third term of a Bush as president.
