At the end of the First World War the German military Dictatorship and the monarchy were overthrown, and the new Weimar Republic government signed a humiliating armistice with the allied powers. The militaristic and right-wing elements in Germany soon started claiming they had not really lost the war, but they had been "stabbed in the back" by the leftists/centrists/Jews/politicians etc. As Germany was made to accept the blame for the war, lost territory and had to pay huge war reparations to the allies this meant that parties (such as the Nazis) that were hostile to the Armistice terms and promised to restore Germany gained electoral support.

In 1932 the Nazis became the largest party in the German parliament, but still did not have a majority, in January 1933 Hitler was appointed Chancellor (head of government) in the hope that he could be controlled, but he started acquiring more power than his non-Nazi supporters expected.

Because the parliament still had no clear majority Hitler asked President Hindenburg for new elections for March 1933. In February there was a convenient fire that destroyed the Reichstag (Parliament) - the Nazis blamed the communists, although it is widely believed that the fire was started by the Nazis to discredit the Communists who were arrested in large numbers. The Communists were still allowed to run in the March election (winning 81 seats) although the party was banned the next day meaning 81 votes disappeared from the parliament, giving the Nazis and their allies a majority.

Once the Nazis had gained political control they were quick to ensure they kept it; laws were passed to remove civil liberties and to allow the Nazi-led government to make laws without the parliament - and once they had total control they became a legal dictatorship.

There has alway been religious competition, and their was never really a start to any of it. For example there were the Crusaders that lived in Medievil Times etc. I guess one man began to believe that his religion was better, probably Hitler, and others agreed, so they thought by wiping out other religions they were doing the right thing for their God.

The Nazi Party was started at the end of World War I. It was originally a small group of small business owners and ex-soldiers in Munich, Germany who shared far right-wing and racist political views. They would meet at a local beer hall (a sort of German pub) and talk about politics.

Eventually a soldier named Adolf Hitler was ordered to join the group so that he could spy on it for the government. Almost immediately he found that he agreed with their political views; he joined for real, and quickly became the leader of the party.

"Nazism" is the philosophy, so to speak, of the Nazi Party. It was what they believed, and what they wanted to do to Germany, and the world.

The Nazi party was set up in 1919 as an anti-Communist party by three men: Anton Drexler (the previous leader before Adolf Hitler), Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart.

That can't be correct. The Party was already in existence when Hitler was sent to spy on it by the German Army.

After the defeat of WW1, the German people needed a hero, a great and strong leader. In the early days, Hitler and the Nazi party seemed to be that.
