What did Hitler hope to gain by making the Jews scapegoats for all of the nation's problems?

Anti-Semitism has a long history in Europe, with present expressions rooted in the Middle Ages. The Nazis came to power with an agenda of nationalism, racial purity and global expansion. Anti-Semitism was a part of Hitler personal beliefs; he accused Jews of causing the German defeat in World War One, and for the acute social and economic problems that followed in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany. He exposes his anti-Semitic views in his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle). Nevertheless, anti-Semitism also played a role in Nazi propaganda; it was important for the totalitarian control of society to have an enemy of the nation, on its path to a glorious destiny; it's a way to mobilize people and manipulate them.
