Nazi Germany

Nazi Germany refers to the period from 1933 to 1945 when Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party) ruled Germany. It was marked by totalitarianism, aggressive nationalism, and anti-Semitism, leading to the persecution of Jews and other minorities. The regime sought to expand German territory and promote Aryan supremacy, resulting in World War II and the Holocaust, where millions were killed. Nazi Germany collapsed in 1945 after its defeat by Allied forces, leaving a legacy of trauma and moral reckoning that still influences discussions of human rights and governance today.
