c. German Workers' Party
Early on in his political career, Adolf Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, which was also known as the "National Socialist German Workers' Party" (NSDAP). The party was founded in 1919 and was originally a small political group that advocated for nationalistic and anti-Semitic views. Hitler became involved with the party in 1919 and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming its leader in 1921. Under Hitler's leadership, the party became known as the Nazi Party and pursued a radical fascist ideology that rejected democracy and promoted the superiority of the Aryan race. Hitler and the Nazi Party played a key role in the rise of fascism in Germany and the events of World War II.
