EVENT PRT 2: The rise of the Nazi party

 The Nazi Party "(from the German Nazi, abbreviated from the pronunciation of Nationalsozialist)", was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) prior to a change of name in 1920. The party's last leader, Adolf Hitler ( ewww ), was appointed Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich.

However Hitelr was not the original leader of the Nazi party, Anton Drexler was the original leader of the party, when it was founded in 1918. he left power soon after  in 1923.

The ideas of the nazi party stressed the failures of laissez-faire capitalism, communism, economic liberalism, and democracy; supported the "racial purity of the German people" and that of other Europeans, and claimed itself as the protector of Germany from the Jewish influence and corruption. Their views eventually led to the start of world war 2 with hitler and the third reich as the main  source of conflict.
