Hitler joined the party almost as soon as it was founded, and he worked his way up to lead the party by 1921.

The party was dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I and also forced Germany to make a number of reparations and concessions. This political party was founded many years before, in 1919, as the German Workers’ Party, which promoted anti-Semitism and German pride. The National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party, was led by Adolf Hitler, and it grew into a huge movement.
