PROJECT PART TWO [] This political cartoon is a good example of what Adolf Hitler was trying to do. Him, Germany, Italy and Japan were taking over Europe. They were doing it smart, they took a little bit of each country at a time. The League of nations didn’t have a plan for punishment so Hitler and the rest of them got away with it. The artist depicted this cartoon by showing Adolf Hitler grabbing a globe and having it in his control. The globe is a symbol for the world since he tried taking over and becoming a super power. The attempt of taking over Europe only lasted so long. After Hitler invaded Poland, the countries weren’t going to allow it any longer so they declared war.

the cartoon was drew by Dr. Suess. This political cartoon represents how Hitler treated the jewish people. It also relates to how the Germans tried to hide the whole idea of how he miss treated Jews so that he wouldn’t look bad in the end after he surrendered and lost the war. He represented that in the cartoon by making the sighn say “forget the terrible news you’ve read your minds at ease in a ostrich head.” The ostrich head is an example on the idea of how used tactics to make people believe that Hitler didn’t torture the Jews.
