5.+Hitler's+Suicide

Why did Hitler kill himself?

Hitler took his last breath on April 30, 1945. His suicide was caused by cyanide poisoning and a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Hitler was very anxious in days before his death. He had a nervous breakdown in a military meeting earlier that week, and was psychologically unstable. He had promised everyone such a great reward, such fame, and honor. He failed to carry out that promise, and that's probably what led to his suicide. He also had received word that his Italian ally Mussolini had been executed. Hitler probably knew that he would lose the war, and that he would rather die than lose his war.
