National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazism)

The National Socialist German Workers' Party, known as the Nazi Party, was a far-right political organization in Germany led by Adolf Hitler from the 1920s to the 1940s. It promoted extreme nationalism, racist ideology, and anti-Semitism, aiming to create a pure Aryan racial state. The Nazis rejected democracy, used propaganda and violence to rise to power, and their policies led to World War II and the Holocaust, causing immense suffering and loss of life. Their ideology combined authoritarian control with aggressive expansionism and racial hatred, making them responsible for some of history's darkest atrocities.
