The German Workers' Party (DAP) was founded in 1919 in Munich, Germany. It aimed to address the concerns of the working class and promote nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas. The party sought to unite workers against capitalism and socialism, advocating for a strong national identity. In 1920, the DAP changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the party gained significant influence in German politics, ultimately leading to the establishment of a totalitarian regime that resulted in World War II and the Holocaust.
