In November 1923, Adolf Hitler and his followers in the German National Socialist Workers' Party attempted to spark a
nationalist revolution in the city of Munich. The authorities suppressed the revolt and Hitler spent the next year in jail What
did this experience demonstrate to Hitler?
If he and his party were to gain power in Germany, it would have to be through non revolutionary means, possibly even
through the electoral process
Instead of trying to start a popular revolt against the state, a better strategy would be to assassinate the German president,
the German chancellor, and other prominent government leaders.
If he and his party were to gain power in Germany, they would first need the support of other world leaders, like Italy's
Mussolini
Instead of starting a revolution from within Germany, it would be wiser to organize an army in a neighboring country and
invade Germany from beyond its borders.
