Soon after the World War I ended, Hitler joined a political group that became the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It was better known to English speakers as the Nazis. In 1923, Hilter was found guilty of treason for his leadership role in an attempt to overthrow the government of Bavaria, a German state.
While imprisoned, Hitler wrote the book "Mein Kampf"—"My Struggle" — in which he predicted a European war that would result in "the extermination of the Jewish race in Germany." Hitler was obsessed with the idea of the superiority of the "pure" German race, which he called "Aryan." He also argued for the need for "Lebensraum," or living space, for that race to expand.
In the years after he was released from prison, Hitler took advantage of the weakness of his political opponents. He built his party's power. On January 20, 1933, he was named chancellor of Germany. The next year he anointed himself "der Führer" — Germany's supreme ruler. Huge Nazi rallies drove home the message of party strength.
The twin goals of racial purity and territorial expansion were the core of Hitler's worldview. After 1933, they became the driving forces behind his foreign and domestic policy
