1. Adolf Hitler
Born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, Adolf Hitler was the fourth of six children to Alois and Klara Hitler. His early life was marked by frequent moves due to his father’s career in the customs service. After his father’s death in 1903, Hitler pursued his passion for art, applying twice to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna but was rejected both times. He then lived a bohemian lifestyle in Vienna, earning a modest income by painting postcards and advertisements. During this period, he developed his nationalist and anti-Semitic views, which would later influence his political career (britannica.com).
