National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party)

The National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party, was a far-right political organization in Germany active from the early 1920s to 1945. Led by Adolf Hitler, it promoted extreme nationalism, racist ideologies, and anti-Semitism. The party rose to power, establishing a totalitarian regime that pursued aggressive expansion and implemented horrific policies, including the Holocaust, which led to the genocide of six million Jews and millions of others. The Nazi Party's rule ended with Germany's defeat in World War II, leaving a legacy of atrocities that profoundly impacted history.
