National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP)

The National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party, was a far-right political party in Germany that rose to power in the 1930s under Adolf Hitler. It promoted extreme nationalism, anti-Semitism, and the idea of an Aryan master race. The party aimed to unify Germans and expand the nation’s territory, ultimately leading to World War II. The NSDAP implemented oppressive policies, including the Holocaust, where millions of Jews and others were systematically murdered. It was dissolved after Germany's defeat in 1945, leaving a lasting impact on history and discussions about human rights.
