German National People's Party

The German National People's Party (DNVP) was a political party in Germany established in 1918, following World War I. It represented nationalist, conservative, and right-wing interests, attracting those who opposed the Weimar Republic's democratic governance. The DNVP advocated for traditional values, the restoration of a monarchy, and a strong military. It was influential in the early 1920s and later aligned with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in the early 1930s, eventually merging into it. The DNVP played a significant role in Germany's political landscape during a turbulent time, marked by economic hardship and the rise of extremist ideologies.
