'''The National Socialist German Workers' Party''' (often shorted simply to '''"Nazis"''') were the ruling party of Germany during the events of [[World War II]]. First emerging in 1920 as the successor to the nationalistic [[German Workers' Party]], the Nazi Party became infamous as a society that, under the control of [[Adolf Hitler]], orchestrated a number of unlawful invasions as well as numerous [[war crimes]] and [[crimes against humanity]], with the most well known being [[The Holocaust|the Holocaust]], the [[genocide|genocidal]] mass slaughter of Jews all across Europe that is widely accepted to be the worst act of genocide in modern history.

The Nazi Party is considered by many to be the most evil organization to have ever existed; they have become a staple symbol of evil in the minds of many along with their symbol, the Swastika, which is outlawed in a few countries as a hate symbol — the Nazi Party was part of a wider network of regimes collectively known as the [[Axis Powers]] during World War II and ultimately found defeat shortly after Hitler committed suicide.

Although extensive work was done to try and remove and evidence of the Nazis' crimes from Germany and the world in general, sadly, their legacy continues to live on across the world in the forms of various Neo-Nazi and [[White Power Movement|white supremacist]] organizations throughout the world. Their ideals have also seen a major resurgence in popularity during the mid-to-late 2010's with the rise of the [[Alt-Right]] movement.

It is estimated that the Nazi Party killed 40 million people overall.


== Ideology ==
== Ideology ==
The Nazi Party's ideology was a variation of [[fascism]] known as '''National Socialism''' (not to be confused with the type of socialism associated with communism) and it promoted the idea that the Aryan race (humans of Nordic and Germanic descent) was an innately superior breed of human and therefore deserved dominance over the world and other races. While the party is well-remembered for its extreme [[Anti-Semitism|antisemitism]] and mass slaughter of Jews, the Nazis also targeted [[wikipedia:Slavs|Slavs]] (such as Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Serbians, Croatians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, and Russians; the Slavic peoples were notably the main victims of ''[[Generalplan Ost]]''), [[wikipedia:Romani people|Romani]] (targeting them with a separate event known as the [[Porajmos]]) Greeks, Arabs, Muslims, homosexuals, the disabled, Christians (such as Jehovahs Witnesses and Catholics), socialists, leftists and leftist-sympathizers, political dissidents, and others deemed [[wikipedia:Untermensch|Untermensch]] (sub-human) by the dictatorship.

Adherents of the ideology were referred to as "'''Hitlerists'''", though historians prefer the term "'''Nazis'''" due to the term being too simplistic as it was used before Hitler's rise to power as well as multiple different ideologies that were incorporated within Nazism that had already existed prior in Germany long before World War I even occurred.

The party came to control virtually all political, social, and cultural activities in Germany. Its vast and complex hierarchy was structured like a pyramid, with party-controlled mass organizations for youth, women, workers, and other groups at the bottom, party members and officials in the middle, and Hitler and his closest associates at the top wielding undisputed authority.

Upon Germany’s defeat, Hitler’s suicide, and the Allied occupation of the country in 1945 at the end of [[World War II]], the Nazi Party was banned, and its top leaders were convicted of crimes against peace and humanity.
