Explanation
The Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933 and ruled until the end of World War II in 1945. This period covers the dictatorship of the Third Reich, marked by totalitarian rule, war, and the Holocaust.
Tips
- Link the start to Hitler’s appointment as hancellor in 1933 and the Enabling Act consolidating power soon after.
- Link the end to Germany’s defeat in World War II in 1945.
- Eliminate time frames tied to other eras: the German Empire (ends 1918), early Weimar years, or the postwar Federal Republic (starts 1949).
- Watch for distractors that overlap Weimar or postwar years; the Nazi period is fully within the interwar and WWII years.
