What caused Hitler to be thrown in jail?

Answer 1

He was imprisoned twice. The first time was in September 1921 for disrupting the meeting of a monarchist political party. He was arrested and imprisoned for about a month.

But the more famous incident occurred In November 1923. Hitler and his Nazi Party tried to overthrow the government of Bavaria (Germany's largest state), in an attempt to copy Benito Mussolini's successful "March on Rome" in 1922. Hitler's attempt failed, however, and he was arrested. The attempt was nicknamed the "Beer Hall Putsch", because the Nazi Party usually met at a beer hall (a kind of large German pub).

He was put on trial for treason, but was treated surprisingly well and was able to use the trial to give Propaganda speeches about how much he loved Germany and he had only led the Putsch to help the people. He got a remarkably light sentence (five years in prison for a high treason conviction!), and only served six months of it. He used his time in prison to dictate his manifesto, which is known as Mein Kampf ("My Struggle").
