Hitler

Hitler joined the German Workers Party, a precursor to the Nazi Party in 1919, and became its leader in 1921. In 1923, following the pronouncement at the Bürgerbräukeller brewery in Munich, Hitler attempted an insurrection, known as the Putsch in Munich, After which he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. During his stay in jail he wrote the first part of his book Mi lucha (in German, Mein Kampf), in which he exposes his ideology along with autobiographical elements. Released eight months later, in 1924, Hitler gained increasing popular support through the exaltation of Pangermanism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism, using his oratory talent supported by efficient Nazi propaganda and mass concentrations charged with symbolism. Hitler's aim was to establish a New Order based on the absolute hegemony of Nazi Germany on the European continent. Its foreign and internal policy was aimed at seizing Lebensraum ('living space') for the Germanic peoples. It promoted the rearmament of Germany and after the invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht the 1 of September of 1939, began the Second World War. With these acts, Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, which established the conditions of peace after the First World War.
