Where Hitler Failed- Greed

   It is late in World War 2. Germany controlled much of Europe. London was in flames, France was crushed. Concentration camps could be found in more than a dozen different countries. The coasts were covered with defensive cannons. The Nazi army was immense. So what made Hitler fail? He had all of those things, yet why did he lose in the end.

   First, lets look at the forces opposing Germany. America, England, and the rest of the UN were trying to keep the Nazis from invading the rest of Europe. The Soviet Union was defending the area of Russia from Hitler. Some of the citizenry of various countries were rebelling. Even with all this opposition, Germany was still advancing on the rest of Europe.

   The place where Hitler went wrong was in his prioritizing. Instead of focusing on one area at a time, he had his forces spread. Part of his army was in Russia, part in southeastern Europe, and part defending the whole coast of France and other shore countries. Hitler wanted all of the land of Europe at the SAME TIME!!!! Kind of foolish when you think about it, right?

   So what drove Hitler to be so foolish in his actions? Simple, it was greed. He wanted it all really fast and without much effort. It made him rather miserable at times. We can relate this to ourselves. We all want things in life. That desire to have things is how humanity has survived in the past. But Greed is carrying that too far. The difference is that greed is the willingness to get things while hurting others.

   Such a heartless endeavor always ends in sadness, misery, or defeat. Humanity has to work together to accomplish things now that there are so many of us in the world today. We can't afford to be greedy. Unfortunately, a lot of people today are greedy. Companies and Politicians are excellent examples for the greediness of humanity. Because of the greed of many, the future looks bleak. In order for humanity to survive, we need to give and not get, and be willing to share necessities with others.
