Paul Joseph Goebbels was a German politician and speaker. He served as the Minister of National Education and Propaganda during the Nazi Germany period. His propaganda skills were eye-catching, and he was a loyal guardian of Hitler. He was considered "the person who created Hitler", but his contribution to Germany cannot be said to be absent. But even more damage was caused, which allowed Germany to embark on the path of dictatorship as the world's enemy during that period. However, we have to admit what Goebbels said; although the Nazis have been eliminated, the Nazis have also eliminated the stupidity of European imperialism.
If we really want to see the impact of the Nazis on the world, it is better to look at the impact on the world before and after World War II. Let me state in advance that this is not a defense of the Nazis. Germany during World War II had a significant impact on the political and social order throughout Europe and even the world.
The European empires before 1945 advocated colonization. Even the humanitarian France and the United Kingdom were just inhumane slave owners in the eyes of the slaves at that time. They occupied a large number of colonies around the world and exploited them. , these colonies provided them with a large amount of raw materials and cheap labor. In addition, they dumped domestic surplus goods to the colonies and made huge profits in those backward places. ?
However, after World War II, the world map continued to gradually change. The national power of the European empires was severely depleted in World War II. After 1945, the colonies gradually became independent under the call of democracy, which seriously weakened the economic and political influence of the European empires. The British Empire, Spain, France, etc. gradually fell into decline. Replaced by the Soviet Union and the United States.
In addition, the European Renaissance from the 14th to the 16th century can be said to have lit up the whole of Europe and shocked the world. Paris, France, quickly became the most important cultural and artistic center in the world. Artists and thinkers such as Picasso and Hemingway all had the experience of living or traveling in Paris. However, during World War II, many artists and thinkers who had close ties and survived were displaced and forced to go to the United States and other countries without war. This caused Europe to lose its status as the world's cultural center.
In addition, in terms of science and technology, Germany was far ahead during World War II, which promoted the further development of science and technology. It can be said that the decades of World War II and the Cold War were the years with the fastest breakthroughs in technological development.
Everything in the world has two sides, and unilateral propaganda is just a declaration of superiority by the winner. As people of the world, we must comprehensively reflect on all this in order to take our future path well. .
