National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis)
The National Socialist German Workers' Party, known as the Nazi Party, was a far-right political group in Germany led by Adolf Hitler from the early 1920s until 1945. They promoted extreme nationalism, racist ideologies, especially anti-Semitism, and believed in the superiority of the "Aryan" race. The Nazis sought to restore Germany’s power through militarism and territorial expansion, which led to aggressive policies, the persecution of Jews and minorities, and the outbreak of World War II. Their reign ended with Germany's defeat in 1945, and they are historically associated with atrocities, genocide, and totalitarian rule.
