He declared himself the Fuhrer, or supreme ruler, and called his reign the Third Reich. Germanys invasion of Poland instigated World War II, while domestically Hitler maintained strict control of the ideology of the citizenry, initiating the genocide of the Jewish people known as the Holocaust. Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in 1945 after Berlin fell to the Allies.

He pursued research in neurology and worked as a clinical physician, treating patients suffering from hysteria and similar conditions. Based on this work, Freud went on to pioneer the discipline of psychoanalysis.
