 * After a rough childhood, Hitler decided to join the German Workers' Party in 1919. He was determined to succeed.

 * In 1920, 3,000 members were followers of Hitler.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 27px;">The Twenty Five Points
 * Hitler created The Twenty Five Points, which stated all of the rules that the people of the party needed to follow. Most were about the rights and duties of the Germans. The list was against all other people and only benefited the Germanic race.
 * Hitler, a gifted man, grew power within the group and was named the Leader of the party for his public speaking skills.
 * He was very charismatic in a bad way.
 * In late 1920, Hitler thought the frenzy and party was lacking a symbol. Remembering back from his childhood, he recalled the Swastika that soon became the Nazi symbol.
 * In 1921, Hitler planned on joining with the nationalists of the rest of Germany.
 * Other officials feared Hitler's power and formed an alliance. Ending his power, was basically ending the whole Nazi Party, so they named him leader and gave him back power.
 * Hitler was power hungry and wanted to attack other authorities for power.
 * By 1923, Hitler had 55,000 followers.
 * Hitler soon gained almost all of Germany's control, leading to the devastating event we call the Holocaust.
