Munich Beer Hall Putsch

The Munich Beer Hall Putsch was a failed coup attempt by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in November 1923 to seize power in Germany’s government. They aimed to overthrow the Bavarian government and then march to Berlin. The uprising took place in a beer hall in Munich, but it was quickly suppressed by police, resulting in deaths and Hitler’s imprisonment. The event brought national attention to Hitler and Nazi ideas, while also illustrating the instability of Germany during that period. It ultimately led Hitler to reevaluate his strategies, focusing on legal political methods instead of armed rebellion.
