Beer Hall Putsch (nov 8, 1923 – nov 9, 1923)

Description:

The Beer Hall Putsch were 2 days (November 8 to November 9, 1923) where Adolf Hitler and his followers staged an unsuccessful government takeover in Munich, Bavaria; a small state in the south of Germany. Hitler had headed the Nazi party since 1921; a new political group that advocated German solidarity an anti-Semitism and was unhappy with the terms of the Versailles Treaty. After the failed ‘Putsch’ Hitler was convicted of treason and was given 5 years of prison time. He only spent less than a year behind bars and in that short amount of time he wrote his political autobiography “Mein Kampf”. That autobiography and his national trial made him a national figure so that after his prison time he started rebuilding the Nazi Party.
