Natzi Germany
In 1933 to about 1945, Germany experienced a time where a dictator named Adolf Hitler came into power. At this time, Germany became known as Nazi Germany. Germany changed from a republic to a dictatorship under his rule. Antisemitism and racism were the main practices of Hitler and his National Socialist German Worker’s Party. He acquired a strong army and group of supporters. He began discriminating against homosexuals, gypsies, the mentally ill, and mainly the Jewish. They were imprisoned, sent to labor camps, and often mass murdered. This time period became known as The Holocaust. Germany invaded Poland on the first of September, 1939. War was declared on Germany two days later by the United Kingdom and France. During the Battle of Berlin in 1945, Hitler resided underground while the Red Army approached Berlin.
