The Nazi party's official document outlining their political goals.

A political ideology emphasizing national unity, independence, and cultural identity. In this case, it refers to uniting all German-speaking territories under one German state.

A political and economic system aiming for social equality and economic justice. It advocates for government control of key industries and resources.

A political ideology emphasizing class struggle and the overthrow of capitalism through violent revolution.

The claim that Jewish people were not genuine German citizens and were responsible for Germany's problems. This belief contributed to widespread anti-Semitism and persecution.

A political tactic used by the Nazi party to appeal to both nationalist and socialist voters. It sought to combine nationalistic ideals with social welfare policies.

A term that refers to the merger of Austria with Germany. This was a key goal of the Nazi party, aimed at expanding German territory and power.

A political idea that aims to increase the power of the central government. This could involve limiting individual freedoms and increasing government control in various spheres.

The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as "Stormtroopers", was the Nazi Party's (NSDAP) private army. They were known for their violent street tactics.

The SA, formed in 1921, was composed of unemployed individuals, students, and ex-soldiers who were disillusioned with the Weimar Republic.

Hitler used the SA for various purposes, including controlling crowds at meetings, provoking street fights, disrupting the activities of opposition groups like the KPD, and enhancing the NSDAP's image.

Ernst Röhm led the SA. Although the SA was not directly controlled by Hitler, Röhm's popularity among the stormtroopers led to a power struggle within the Nazi Party.

To counter Röhm's influence, Hitler created a special unit known as the "Stosstrupp" (Shock Troops). These were elite members of the SA handpicked by Hitler to serve as his personal bodyguards.

In 1922, Hitler established absolute control over the NSDAP by stripping the members of their voting rights.

The NSDAP experienced a surge in popularity in 1923. By November, its membership had reached 50,000. Factors like the hyperinflation crisis and economic instability in Germany contributed to this growth.

The events of the hyperinflation crisis and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 paved the way for the NSDAP's rise to power, making it the largest political party in Germany by 1932.

Hitler split Germany into 35 regions, each with a leader called a Gauleiter, to create a stronger and more organized Nazi party. This structure allowed for regional control and competition among Nazi members, leading to a more powerful party with a more dedicated base.

Hitler encouraged competition among the Nazi members in each 'Gau' for the position of Gauleiter. This fostered ambition and ruthlessness, reflecting his belief in the 'survival of the fittest'. This strategy created a strong and ambitious base for the Nazi party.

The Munich Putsch was an attempt by the Nazi Party to seize power in Bavaria, Germany in 1923. The putsch failed due to a lack of support from the Bavarian officials and the German Army.

Hitler's plan was to take advantage of the hyperinflation crisis in Germany and the instability of the Weimar Republic. He believed the time was ripe to seize power.

The Nazi party relied on funding from wealthy business owners who supported Hitler's nationalist vision for Germany. These business owners believed Hitler would control the workers and limit the power of trade unions, which they feared due to their potential for unreasonable demands and links to Communism.

The Nazi party, after the Munich Putsch failure, became a well-structured, region-based organization with strong leaders in each 'Gau'. This change allowed the Nazis to reach more people and gain political power.

Hitler underestimated the loyalty of the German Army to the government. The army easily suppressed the uprising, which was poorly equipped and lacked official support.

The NSDAP was banned in 1923 after the failed Munich Putsch but was relaunched in 1925 to gain more political influence. This shows the importance of political structure and organization in building a powerful political party.

The Bavarian officials, initially sympathetic to the putsch, withdrew their support when the army refused to back the uprising. This left Hitler and the Nazi Party isolated.

The Munich Putsch was a failure, resulting in Hitler's arrest and trial for high treason. The failure highlighted the Nazi Party's weakness at the time and the importance of gaining wider support.

Hitler, despite being found guilty of treason, managed to use the trial to his advantage. He used his charisma and oratory skills to turn the courtroom into a platform for his political propaganda.

The Munich Putsch showcased Hitler's impulsive nature and lack of strategic planning. It demonstrated his willingness to act quickly, even without proper preparation, which would become a major weakness in later years.

The Munich Putsch provided valuable lessons for Hitler. It demonstrated the importance of gaining broad public support, securing military backing, and carefully strategizing before embarking on a revolutionary action.

A pivotal event in the history of the Nazi Party where Hitler consolidated his power and shifted the party's focus.

A crucial strategy employed by Hitler to expand his power and influence by eliminating opposition and rivals within the Nazi Party.

A period between 1924 and 1929 when the Nazi Party experienced limited support despite gaining some members.

A dramatic event involving a failed attempt by Hitler and his supporters to seize power in Munich.

A term used by Hitler during his campaigning to describe the perceived betrayal of Germany by the Weimar government in signing the Treaty of Versailles after World War I.

A term used by Hitler to refer to political leaders who he believed undermined Germany and caused its defeat in World War I.

A core tenet of the Nazi ideology that blamed Jewish people for Germany's problems and advocated for their persecution.

Heinrich Brüning was the German Chancellor from 1930 to 1932. He implemented harsh policies to address the economic crisis and unemployment.

Brüning's policies were aimed at controlling the economic and unemployment crisis in Germany. They included raising taxes on workers, reducing unemployment benefits, and banning the SA and SS.

Brüning's policies were controversial and unpopular. They angered Hitler, who felt unfairly targeted, and alienated other political groups.

Hitler's share of the vote increased significantly in the 1932 presidential election, reaching 36%. This demonstrated the growing support for his policies and the anxieties of German citizens.

Despite losing the 1932 presidential election, Hitler's strong showing with 13 million votes raised concerns among moderate parties. This showed the growing popularity of his message, making him a significant political force.

The 1932 presidential election is a significant historical event as it demonstrated the growing popularity of Hitler and the anxieties of the German people. It foreshadowed his rise to power in 1933.

The Nazi Party's 25-point program outlined their main political goals, including uniting all German-speaking peoples, expanding German territory, and establishing a strong, centralized government.

The Nazi Party's tactic of combining elements of nationalism and socialism was a key factor in their appeal to a large swathe of the German population. This strategy allowed them to attract both those seeking national glory and those yearning for economic security.
