The Nazi Party, officially known as the National Socialist German Workers' Party, was a far-right political party in Germany that rose to power in the early 20th century. Led by Adolf Hitler, the party promoted extreme nationalism, anti-Semitism, and the idea of Aryan racial superiority, which ultimately led to the horrors of the Holocaust. The Nazi Party's regime, which lasted from 1933 to 1945, was characterized by totalitarian control over many aspects of life, aggressive expansionism, and the suppression of dissent. Its policies and actions resulted in World War II and significant loss of life, reshaping global politics and society in profound ways.
