@@SuperDeuser Lenin was ethnically not Russian, in the way we think about being Russian today. He was born in the Russian Empire, but in Tatarstan (or Kazan), which was one of the peripheries of the Russian state. It was independent at one time, however it was enrolled into the Empire in the early 18th century. His father's ethnicity is up for debate, but his father was likely not ethnically Russian, but instead a mix of Turkic descent. His mother was a mix of Jewish, on the paternal side, and German-Swedish on the maternal side. Therefore, as mentioned before, Lenin was not ethnically Russian.
The parts of those countries that are majority german speaking are ethnically german. They simply have a different history but similar culture to Germany so they’re not nationally german
@@bharath2508Belgium has only a small German minority. You can find similar in Italy (Southern Tyrol) and arguably France (Alsace). Further Dutch are also a splinter group of Germans as are all Norse countries. Switzerland is also not quite German as it has many ethnicities across the country. Your list is inaccurate no matter how I slice it.
He wasn't born a german national, but shared the same culture and language. This is important when trying to understand Hitler. Just as Napoleon Bonaparte was Corsican, he was more French than Italian
Hitler was straight up an ethnic German. That's like asking how a Chinese man man born in Japan took over China.. ITS CAUSE HE WAS CHINESE. The Hitler family was one of many German families that live in Austria
Hitler was German. You should look into the unification wars and the Zollverein. You'll learn that phrases like "the Jewish question" were not alien and Nazi, but very German. During this period they had the German question. And the main focus was whether there would be a Greater German solution or a Lesser German solution. The former being the formation of Germany which included Austria, favoured by the Austrians, and the latter without Austria, favoured by the Prussians. Basically this was a rivalry between Prussia and Austria, which was settled by the Austro-Prussian war, though the unification was more complex than I'm making it sound. Really what worked for the Prussians was the ceeding of the Rhineland, especially the Ruhr, during the Congress of Vienna. We could talk about this all day. Hitler was a German though. Why do you think he was allowed to join the military of the German Empire? He wasn't some special Austro-Hungarian attache. He got written permission, because in those days being German was still very much an ethnic group beyond a state. Anschluss was also argued for by the Nazis using this well established concept. I think you probably know this. You may be making the mistake of looking at things from a contemporary perspective. It's pretty common. It's really what separates a history enjoyer and a history academic.
Depends on how you define being German. Ethnically he probably was German but his nationality was Austrian. Later he became stateless which became more and more of a problem for him and his ambitions. So he tried to become a German citizen which was actually not easy for him. He tried 7 times till he succeeded. He and his supporters actually needed a trick to make him a German citizen. The interior minister of Thuringia appointed him as an official which automatically made him a German citizen by law.
Fun fact Different German dialects were so different from each other that they could be different languages. Standard German is a Southern Dialect closer to Bavarian and Austrian German. While Northern German is much closer to Dutch and English.
The German Austrians were only a quarter of the population of Austria-Hungary. The majority were Slavs (Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ruthenians, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes.)
@@valerietaylor9615Who doesn't know this? If you're in Hungary at the time of the Empire you just said you were Hungarian not Austro-Hungarian. And the same is true for Austria itself it was the same size then as it is now the other slav countries were separate semi-autonomous regions within the greater Empire.The majority of Austria was German
I a nutshell. He grew in Austria, had a horrible father, was rejected by Arts academy in Wien, moved to Germany, joined the german armed forces and served during ww1, and saw the opportunities of the weak German new republic.
1:50 Austria didn't buddy up with Hungary. They already controlled the territory but with increasing nationalism combined with the fact that the Austrian empire was multi ethnic and thus nationalism was a driving force to rip it apart and to prevent that they gave more autonomy to Hungary for self governance for internal affairs.
For God sake he is German. And Austria didn't make an alliance with Hungary. Hungary was a part of the Austrian empire. Austria just refined the state.
Saying he's not German is technically correct from a legal entity standpoint but people back then did have a common identity and Austria and Germany probably would have merged post ww1 if it wasn't disallowed by the winning powers
Ethnicity isnt definied by borders. A Chinese man born in Japan dosen't magically loose his Chinese ethnicity. Hitler was an ethnic German literally born on the german border with Austria. He has family members and relatives whose ancestry and DNA have been extensively studied. He was German by ethnicity. That's what he used to take over Germany
Austrians had a history of being regarded as Germans with several Austrians(especially the painter you are talking about) has heavily pro nationalist German views…hence he wasn’t “that foreign” to Germans
He was also straight up and ethnic German. People say Austrians and germans are the same ethnically... They aren't It's like Russians and ukrianains... Very similar, but not quite the same
@@NoelNaggis There are no “Germans”. Everyone is different in Germany. Bavarians, Rhinelanders, Saxons, Thuringians etc. All have different customs and dialects. The same applies to Austria. Austria is just another of these different Germanic countries.
I think a lot of people - at least Americans - vastly underestimate how much the break up of Austria-Hungry and the post-WW1 chaos that gripped central Europe enabled the rise of Nazi Germany and Hitler. Had countries like Hungary and Romania not been in such bad shape following the war, they may not have allied themselves with the Nazis and cooperated with Hitler, allowing the Nazis to annex Austria and Czechoslovakia. And had the countries Hitler did conquer, Austria and Czechoslovakia, not been so beaten up in the 1920s and 30s, maybe they would have been better suited to stand up to Nazi Germany? After all, had Hitler been stopped from annexing Austria, whose to say he would have stayed in power? Or that the Nazis would have remained as popular, as in control of Germany if they faced setbacks from diplomatic missteps?
There's no 1 reason for his rise. It was a perfect storm of poor politics regarding the treaty of Versailles, poor admin of the Weimar republic, effective use of propaganda and the great depression
Short Answer: The Stock market crash, DNVP helping Austrian painter and death of Gustav Stresemann. Long answer: A 2 hour elaboration of the short answer.
This video isn't exactly incorrect, but it doesn't quite emphasize the topic of German unification enough. After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire by Napoleon, nationalist and liberal movements were on the rise. Many people in German Central Europe favoured some form of unification amongst the separate German states. First, there was a loose Lesser German Confederation. Over time, the culturally German states began to unify under Prussia. Being culturally German, there were calls within Austria to join this Pan-German formation into a Greater German state. The problem was the Austrian state was more than just Austria. The Austrian Empire consisted of Germans, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, and more. Joining an ethnically & culturally German nation would mean abandoning most of the Empire. After The First World War, the Austria-Hungarian Empire was broken up into several nation-states. Austria was now mostly a purely German state. Once again there was a movement to follow others, such as Saxony and Bavaria. However (as noted in the video) the Treaty of Versailles prohibited Austrian entry into a Greater German state. Hitler would ignore this (along with the rest of the treaty), and annexed Austria into the Third Reich in 1938. Unlike the acquisitions of Czechia, Poland, ect..., Austria was directly incorporated into Germany, with the people being considered Germans. After the fall of Nazi Germany, Austria would be occupied by the Western Allies before regaining independent, democratic control some decade later. The idea of Austria joining a Greater Germany became associated with Nazism. To this day, it's not a a significant political question in German nor Austrian politics. In summary, the reason Hitler was able to become leader of Germany was because many didn't perceive him as a foreigner (some did, and derided him politically for it). Austria was seen as the last independent German state that had yet to join a Greater Germany to many. This may seem bizarre, but consider how in your own country places have differences. Vermont is not New Jersery, for example. Bavaria is different than Berlin. West Germany & East Germany in general still have differences. But, regardless, they all do share similarities with each other that they consider themselves one nation. It's possible the question of Austria joining into Germany may come up again in the future (hopefully under more auspicious circumstances), but time will tell. Austria itself is smaller in population than 3 of the German states, so it's more an ideological question than a practical one.
I wish I could ask my grandpa. His world was changed in WW1. At 13 he was kidnapped by the Germans and made to fight. After getting shot up, including his face, he went home to his village in Austria. But it wasn’t there. So he went to my Grandma’s village. When they saw the Germans coming again they got out and came here. He died young, and to the end he swore it was the Jews.
Saying Hitler was not German is dumb. Because what matters is the etny. Even today, citizenship in Europe keep being based in bloodline. Doesn't matter the actual country borders. When he say he's German, he's saying he's Germanic, not from the country Germany. That border thing is an American thing, american countries adopted that, because the population is too diverse. But even if we consider border AND blood as requirements for him become a German: Ethnically: 1- He born with German blood Politically: 2- After he rised to the government, HE HAVED THE POWER TO DECIDE WHO IS GERMAN. So yes, he was German. And he didn't hide nothing of his Austrian origin, it's public in his biography.
I find it quite dumb particularly because the whole point of the Nazi ideology was categorizing people by race and seeing their own as superior and being ruled by what they saw as a foreigner would go totally against that
Austrians are to blame for period. They are fault on all three world wars and yes three, because the 7 years war was a freaking world war and I am tired that we pretend that it wasn't.
People who say he was "Austrian" don't understand that Hitler was born in 1989 in the Habsburgian Empire, which was not a national state. The concept of Austrian nationality did not exist back then. Subjects of the Empire identified as Hungarians, Serbians, Italiens or Germans but not as "Austrians". Eperor Franz Joseph did not see himself as Ruler of a nation but as an Emperor by devine right with loyal subjects Austria as a national state originated from the treaties in Versailles and Saint Germain in 1919. Hitler was 30 years old at that time and did not live in Austria.
Wrong. First his nationality was Austrian-Hungarian. Then he was a citizen of the Republic of Austria. Then he became stateless. After trying to become a German citizen 6 times and being rejected he became German by using a trick. The interior minister of Thuringia assigned him as an official which automatically granted him German citizenship by law.
Austria is apart of the German fatherland (the land that all Central European-germanic peoples. There were already calls for reunification after WW1. Calling him not German is kinda wrong
Yeah it's kinda clickbait or being ignorant to call him a foreigner that magically took over another country. It also goes totally against the Nazi ideology to be ruled by someone they don't call their own
There is some exaggeration in "he was not even German". It is entirely false that he "ruled a country despite being a foreign national". And the question "How did he take over Germany" may be misleading.
He WAS German. Austria was just another German state. There used to be many many German States, most of which eventually United into Germany, Austria almost the only one that didn't (like Liechtenstein). Only after ww2 did Austrian became more of an ethnicity than just a state.

All those people here stating that Hitler was German because of his ethnicity and therefore was not a foreigner are missing an important point: what counts when you try to get political power in a country is your citizenship not your ethnicity. I'm not saying it's impossible to take over a country without being a citizen but it is harder. And despite his German ethnicity, Hitler was not a German citizen, which actually was a problem for him. Initially, he was a citizen of Austria-Hungary then of the Republic of Austria and then he became stateless. He tried to become a German citizen and was rejected 6 times. Then the interior minister of Thuringia helped him with a trick. He assigned him as a low rank official. This automatically granted him German citizenship by law.
Ughhh, well Austria did used to be part of the German Empire, so... if the point of this video is saying he wasn't German, kind of splitting hairs.. I mean I could care less, but just saying
The devil😈 was born in Austria in a small village on the border with Germany. Austrians were basically Germans, although Austria was a separate country.
The first half of the title of the video is "Hitler was not German..." You may want to rewatch the video again before you attempt to venture down this rabbit hole.
Ok...I didn't want to commend at first because...well...it's a complicated topic and I get that there are many nuances in history that are important but hard to get right for someone not beeing a specialist. But I stopped watching after "they were communists after all, what did they know of markets" (7:37) ...Please: If don't undestand stuff, do not make videos about it. There are probably things you know about that you can do better.
He was in the German Army in WWI. He rose to power from military. However, he got elected before and wrote his political work before. In other words, if someone took over the USA by force and military, they may rule even though they are not born in the USA, although they would have to change the law as Hitler did.
He was born and grew up in Braunau which is literally within spitting distance of the border. His fathers house is less than 100 meters from the border river.
It's like saying a Welsh prime minister in the UK is a foreigner. Austria speaks german. Don't mention the ethnicity of the current prime minister that no Briton wants though
I would say regardless of what we now know in terms of what Hitler went on to do and become; any person who serves a country in War in the way he did Germany should be entitled to and considered a citizen of the state !!
He wasn’t French ethnically but on a legal sense/on paper he is. Corsica is an italic region which makes Napoleon more italian than he is French, how ever when the republic of Genoa (An italian republic which owned Corsica at the time) sold the island to France that made Napoleon legally French when he was born despite being an Italian in ethnicity.
France annexed Corsica the year before Napoleon was born, just in time for him to be a French subject. Although I believe his native language was Italian.
Germans in general have different accents and dialects, if you look closely within Germany itself all of the German states have their regional accents or dialects.
That is a common misconception, that the German people voted Schnurbartmann ( Mustache Man, in German) into office. In Germany, even to this day, the President chooses the Chancellor. Through a combination of guile and intimidation, President von Hindenburg was persuaded to appoint Schnurbartmann as his Chancellor. Then, after the Reichstag fire, the Reichstag passed an Enabling Act, effectively making Schnurbartmann dictator of Germany.

we always knew that hitler was austrian. he got citizenship for serving the first world war.
All Austrians are Germans but all Germans and not Austrians
That is illogical. You would have to write that not all Germans are Austrian.
@@namenlos40i think the "and" was supposed to be an "are"
And a lot of "accidents" to opposing powers.
1924 the Schilling comes! 10 000 Kronen for ONE Schilling! Grandpas Money in Bank was ca1 00 000 / 10 000 = 10! One Schnitzl one Bier and a Soda in a get my Grandpa! He was very angry!So he looks for a better Party! This Party comes....
All those people here stating that Hitler was German because of his ethnicity and therefore was not a foreigner are missing an important point: what counts when you try to get political power in a country is your citizenship not your ethnicity. I'm not saying it's impossible to take over a country without being a citizen but it is harder. And despite his German ethnicity, Hitler was not a German citizen, which actually was a problem for him. Initially, he was a citizen of Austria-Hungary then of the Republic of Austria and then he became stateless. He tried to become a German citizen and was rejected 6 times. Then the interior minister of Thuringia helped him with a trick. He assigned him as a low rank official. This automatically granted him German citizenship by law.
Psst don‘t spill the secret.😇🇦🇹
He wanted to Austrian painter
One of the world’s greatest PR campaigns: Austria has convinced the world that Mozart was Austrian and Hitler was German.
He became Chancellor of Germany, so I guess at some point after WW I he must have received German citizenship.
In todays episode.
Dude struggles to understand an enthic identity.
More at 11.
I think this presentation of Hitler portrays him as a borderline cold and calculated manipulator without beliefs
Ughhh, well Austria did used to be part of the German Empire, so... if the point of this video is saying he wasn't German, kind of splitting hairs.. I mean I could care less, but just saying
It was not part of the German Empire. It was part of 'Deutscher Bund' a predecessor of the German Empire, but only till 1866.
HATE
When the masses are filled with hate, it does not matter where you are from. They will be lead by hate.
All of this because he was denied in fine art school
Questionable legitimacy is a secret ingredient to create a perfect evil dictator.
It’s always the Austrian accent that gets people hooked.
So basically he's an immigrant 😄
Austria is German The Brothers should be reunifed
The devil😈 was born in Austria in a small village on the border with Germany. Austrians were basically Germans, although Austria was a separate country.
You must know nothing of Pan-Germanism. He was an ethnic German, also fought in the German Imperial Army in WW1 out of Bavaria.
Did you watch the video?
Absolutely
@@melissawilkinson2636 Then your comment is even more unnecessary. Because that is exactly what was said in the video.
The first half of the title of the video is "Hitler was not German..." You may want to rewatch the video again before you attempt to venture down this rabbit hole.
@@melissawilkinson2636 I know but the narrator means that he was an non German citizen.

Same way trump took over Florida
Ok...I didn't want to commend at first because...well...it's a complicated topic and I get that there are many nuances in history that are important but hard to get right for someone not beeing a specialist. But I stopped watching after "they were communists after all, what did they know of markets" (7:37) ...Please: If don't undestand stuff, do not make videos about it. There are probably things you know about that you can do better.
He was in the German Army in WWI.
He rose to power from military.
However, he got elected before and wrote his political work before.
In other words, if someone took over the USA by force and military, they may rule even though they are not born in the USA, although they would have to change the law as Hitler did.
Stalin Was Georgian And I'm Georgian Too 😅
So was Jimmy Carter...
“Usually foreign nationals are forbidden from fighting another country forces” Apartheid Israel has joined the 💬
Good argument for the Constitutional provision that only native born Americans may be President.
Are Saxons not also Germans? Prussians? Hanoverians? Bye
What do you want to tell us? Saxony, Prussia and Hannover were part of Germany, Austria was not.
@@Flo-vn9tythey were part but how many out of 39 parts was actually german??
this thumbnail kinda wild ngl
how so?
Austrian Painter based
It’s like Gaara looking down at the Shinobi alliance
He was born in Austria not German
He was born and grew up in Braunau which is literally within spitting distance of the border. His fathers house is less than 100 meters from the border river.
German is a nation not defined by existing post wars administrative boundaries but by blood and kinship.
It's ironic we ask about Hitler its similar to the Jews that took over Palistine.?
Hitler really was German since his ancestors came from Bavaria and Hanover
In short how Hitler conquered the German empire
It's like saying a Welsh prime minister in the UK is a foreigner. Austria speaks german. Don't mention the ethnicity of the current prime minister that no Briton wants though
I would say regardless of what we now know in terms of what Hitler went on to do and become; any person who serves a country in War in the way he did Germany should be entitled to and considered a citizen of the state !!
“Street cred”😭
That is why Germany is such a popular migration destination.
They wanna follow in the steps of the mustached man.
Schnurbartmann, in German.
German Nationalism was a relatively new concept of the time and what was and wasn't part of it still a matter of debate.
Nationalism back then was about uniting all territory with your own ethnicity, that's why they first annexed Austria and the Sudetenland
Ain’t no way y’all barely finding out this
He probably got kidnapped or bought, he was also a prisoner. They appointed him to fail
Who's they?
Why does everyone here keep saying napoleon wasn’t French when he was🤣😭 Corsica was a part of France when napoleon was born.
He wasn’t French ethnically but on a legal sense/on paper he is. Corsica is an italic region which makes Napoleon more italian than he is French, how ever when the republic of Genoa (An italian republic which owned Corsica at the time) sold the island to France that made Napoleon legally French when he was born despite being an Italian in ethnicity.
France annexed Corsica the year before Napoleon was born, just in time for him to be a French subject. Although I believe his native language was Italian.
Is this about Hitler or Trump?
Do Austrians and Germans generally have different accents?
Germans in general have different accents and dialects, if you look closely within Germany itself all of the German states have their regional accents or dialects.
For literally no reason at all people voted for this man. Insane...
The Chancellor wasn't elected,but appointed by the president.
Don't vote for DJT either
That is a common misconception, that the German people voted Schnurbartmann ( Mustache Man, in German) into office. In Germany, even to this day, the President chooses the Chancellor. Through a combination of guile and intimidation, President von Hindenburg was persuaded to appoint Schnurbartmann as his Chancellor. Then, after the Reichstag fire, the Reichstag passed an Enabling Act, effectively making Schnurbartmann dictator of Germany.
