The German Nazi or National Socialist political party was the platform used by Adolf Hitler to create a dictatorship that would, in one decade cause the German people enormous misery and shame. This fanatical political system was to gain popularity in the Old German Empire that was defeated in World War One and later by the great world economic depression. The polices of the National Socialists were offered to deprived and hopeless people for solutions to their economic woes. Also through some very crude tactics the Nazi party showed its readiness to end the turmoil in the streets and bring about an ordered social and political system. Firstly it must be pointed out that Germany and German refer to people who speak a particular language rather than a geographical area. This means that countries such as Austria, Switzerland and parts of Poland and Hungry could all be classed as Germans. Although these different groups all speak the same language they were all fiercely independent and resisted being united into one nation. Even the states within the nation of Germany were not happy with being part of a united Germany. Bavaria is a good example of this attitude. With Hitler’s ways, there was no stopping the unity.
