over

German
Workers’
Party
or
Nazi
for
short.
Hitler
and
His
Views
(cont.)
After
an
unsuccessful
revolt
against
the
government,
Hitler
was
imprisoned
and
wrote
Mein
Kampf,
which
endorsed
German
nationalism,
strong
anti-Semitism,
and
anticommunism.

expanded
the
Nazi
Party,
and
it
soon
became
the
largest
party
in
the
Reichstag.
Hitler
and
His
Views
(cont.)
Hitler
won
support
of
the
right-wing
elites
of
Germany
who,
in
1933,
pressured
the
president
to
allow
Hitler
to
become
chancellor
and
create
a
new
government.
The
Enabling
Act
was
passed,
allowing
the
government
to
ignore
the
constitution
for
four
years
while
it
issued
laws
to
deal
with
the
country’s
problems.
Hitler
and
His
Views

With

acting
as
dictator,

brought
all
institutions
under
their
control,
purged
the
Jews
from
civil
service
jobs,
and
set
up
concentration
camps.
When
the
president
died
in
1934,
Hitler
became
the
