Nazism

Nazism, short for National Socialism, was the ideology of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in Germany during the 1920s-1940s. It emphasized extreme nationalism, racial superiority of the "Aryan" race, and anti-Semitism, promoting the idea that Germans were an exceptional race destined to dominate. This ideology led to aggressive expansion, the suppression of dissent, and horrific atrocities including the Holocaust, where six million Jews and millions of others were systematically murdered. Nazism rejected democracy and promoted totalitarian control, resulting in World War II's devastation. It is widely condemned for its racist, genocidal, and authoritarian nature.
