After WW1 the Kaiser abdicated and the Weimar Republic was set up. Obviously as a Republic it was a Democratic Government. However, a lot of Germans were not happy with the changes in society and some of these people joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), which was a small party based in Munich. Adolf Hitler at this time was a spy for the German army and was sent to watch this particular party. In time however he came to believe what they believed in and in the next couple of years rose through the ranks to take the lead of this party due to his skills as an orator. Hitler then rallied support, mainly from the white collar workers initially and changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). This was the founding of the Nazis.

NoteThe change in the name dates from 1920 and took place while Anton Drexler was still the head of the party. Hitler took over the party in 1921.

The nazi party were a political group who wanted to over throw the new German government because they thought they could do a better job of getting Germany back on track than the government.
