Nazi Party

"Today Germany is ours, and tomorrow the whole world!"
Adolf Hitler

The Nazi movement was an ideological movement founded in 1919 and led by Adolf Hitler. Based on ideas of German racial superiority, it promoted territorial expansion, blamed the Jews for the ills of Germany and called for their removal from the German society. It gave rise to the Nazi Party, which came to power in 1933 and implemented its ideologies. The party's platform of twenty five objectives, published in 1920, was formulated by Hitler and Anton Drexler and included militaristic, nationalistic, social, economic, and antisemitic clauses.

 

On November 8, 1923, Hitler and members of the Nazi Party attempted to violently overthrow the German government. This was known as the "Beer Hall Putsch". Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison but only served nine months, during which he wrote Mein Kampf, his autobiographical sketch of Germany's future under the Nazi regime.

Founded on January 5, 1919, the Nazi party had its origins in the Political Workers' Circle, a small right-wing group that started its activity in November 1918 under the leadership of Anton Drexler. A fierce antisemitism characterized its meetings. In 1919, under Drexler, this circle became the German Workers' Party. In November 1923 when the putsch under Hitler's leadership was failed, the party was officially banned. However it was refounded in 1925, and remained in existence until after Germany's defeat in World War II, when it was declared illegal by the Allies in September 1945.
