Websites I used:
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
This website is a site for a museum. It has authority, it has references to the author and there's directions to where the museum is located. There is also a currency on it. It's a .org making it credible.
The Jewish Virtual Library
This is a website sponsored by the Wiesenthal Center. There are references, an other and you can open links. Also it's a .org making this website is very credible.
Holocaust-history
This website is a .org. There are bibliographies on the bottom of the page. Some of the links work and some don't. It has detailed information but it's not that credible.
What I found:
In the first website, the origin of the "Final Solution," was the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jewish people but it remains uncertain. The "Final Solution" was implemented in stages.
"After the Nazi party rise to power, state-enforced racism resulted in anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, "Aryanization," and finally the "Night of Broken Glass" pogrom, all of which aimed to remove the Jews from German society" (Website #1). During the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, mobile killing squads, Einsatzgruppen, began killing the entire Jewish communities. The methods use were mainly shooting or gas chambers, it was soon regarded as inefficient and as a psychological burden on the killers.
It also has a key date:
JUNE 22, 1941
KILLING SQUADS ACCOMPANY GERMAN INVASION OF THE SOVIET UNION
DECEMBER 8, 1941
German mobile killing squads, called special duty units (Einsatzgruppen), are assigned to kill Jews during the invasion of the Soviet Union.
FIRST KILLING CENTER BEGINS OPERATION
The Chelmno killing center begins operation. The Nazis later establish five other such camps: Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Majdanek. Victims at Chelmno were killed in gas vans (hermetically sealed trucks with engine exhaust diverted to the interior compartments).
JANUARY 20, 1942
WANNSEE CONFERENCE AND THE "FINAL SOLUTION"
The Wannsee Conference, a meeting in Berlin between the SS and German government agencies. They discuss and coordinate the implementation of the "Final Solution.
In the second website explains that the Final Solution was "used interchangeably with other, broader terms that refer to German extermination policies during World War II, as well as more specifically to describe German intent and the decision-making process leading up to the beginning of systematic mass murder." The Final Solution is marked by the German calling it the "war of destruction." The text also said that there were different types of persecution on the Jews and they decided that poisonous gas was the method on killing the Jews. Its historical significance makes the term Final Solution the most important example to understand the Nazi language to integrate different approaches towards the "so-called Jewish question into a conceptual frame of reference that helped facilitate systematic mass murder and to hide the Third Reich's genocidal policies behind technocratic abstractions" (Website #2).
The third website simply re-affirmed Website #1 to the question of what is the Final Solution. The website said " it can be defined as the attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate the Jews of Europe" (Website #3). Also its states that "The Final Solution was the end stage of a process during which the leaders of the Third Reich considered various ways to address their "Jewish problem" as circumstances changed over time, and then culminated in one of them - the extreme and final solution - being chosen" (Website #3).
