Ans. Nazism refers to the political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. It was characterized by extreme nationalism, racism, and the belief in the supremacy of the Aryan race. The rise of Nazism in Germany during the early 20th century paved the way for Hitler to become the Chancellor and later the dictator of Germany. The economic turmoil and political instability in the country, along with Hitler's charisma and strategic propaganda, played a significant role in his rise to power.
