German Workers' Party

The German Workers' Party was a small group that began in Munich in Germany after World War I. It started on January 5, 1919, in a hotel where people talked about their country and strong feelings.

At first, the group didn’t have many members, but it later became the beginning of a much larger and more well-known group called the National Socialist German Workers' Party, often called the Nazi Party.

Adolf Hitler joined this small group in 1919. He became a member and helped change the group from just talking to being more active in politics. His ideas and speaking skills helped the group grow.

The German Workers' Party changed its name in February 1920 to reach more people. This change marked the start of a movement that would have major effects on history in the years to come.
