What is Nazism?

 Nazism, also known as National Socialism, is a form of fascism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Nazi ideology emphasizes the purity of the German race and the need for lebensraum ("living space") for the German people.

The Nazi Party was founded in 1919 by Adolf Hitler. Hitler rose to power in Germany in the 1930s and established a totalitarian state. The Nazis persecuted and murdered millions of people, including Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and people with disabilities.

The Nazi ideology is based on several key ideas:

• The belief in the superiority of the Aryan race
• The need for Habitat (“living space”) for the German people
• The rejection of democracy and the rule of law
• The glorification of violence and war
• The use of propaganda and censorship to control the population

The Nazi Party was defeated in World War II, but its ideology continues to inspire white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups around the world.
