National Socialism was a form of fascism that originated in Germany in the early 20th century. It was anti-Semitic, anti-communist, and anti-democratic. The Nazis were able to rise to power in 1933 in Germany due to the poor economic conditions following World War I, including high unemployment and debt from war reparations. Once in power, the Nazis pursued racist and expansionist policies that led to World War II and the Holocaust, resulting in over 60 million deaths worldwide.
