My research project is on the 1936 Summer Olympics and Hitler's belief's. The Summer Olympics wherever controversial and were held in Berlin, Germany. My research question is "How did Hitler's agenda affect the olympics?" Hitler tried to show that the Nazi Party was peaceful and tolerant of people. He tried to gain followers of The Nazi Party by promoting Nazi Ideology. There were over 300 million people listing to the games on the radio, that is a very large number beach it was in 1936. I will talk about how Hitler did not want certain races and cultures to participate in the games because it played a key role in why people boycotted the olympics and why people did not like the olympics.
I think this topic is interesting beach the Olympics were hosted in a country that people did not know much about because it was just after World War I. The equivalent of this today would be hosting the Olympics in North Korea. This event matters because it shows how corrupt and "fake" the Nazi Party was. The Nazi party would take all of their cruel signs down before the olympics and if you wanted to be a Nazi leader they trace your heritage 4 generations back to make sure you do not have Jewish heritage. I am pretty happy with the way my project so far. Hopefully the transition from outline to draft will be easy.
This sounds like a very interesting topic. I hope your research goes well. Good post!
