Mein+Kampf


 * DEFINITION**



Mein Kampf is a book written by Adolf Hitler. It has elements of an autobiography and also exposes his political ideology. Hitler wrote it while he was imprisoned after the failure of the Munich beer hall putsch. It was published in 1925.

"The [Nazi Party] should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!" "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."


 * HOW DID IT HELP HITLER RISE TO POWER?**
 * Political ideologies like //lebensraum// and //Volksgemeinschaft// were included in the book, and therefore he attracted support from many Germans who were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles.
 * In the book, he also blamed the woes of Germany on the Jews, which increased support from those who were angry from the result of the war.
 * Nationalist sentiments were inflamed by what was described in the book, and therefore it also influenced those who were originally "ignorant" of the political conditions in Germany.
