Problems from the Outset:
Versailles (ouch, my back hurts 231 times)
Democracy (slow to work/create changes/

#3: The Munich Putsch (the Beer Hall Putsch)
November 8-9, 1923 This was a botched job but it taught Hitler
a valuable lesson (and that’s why you should know it - think about Mussolini)
In politics sometimes a failure is a success

Hitler burst into a political meeting in the beer hall and said:
“The national revolution has broken out! The hall is filled with 600 men. Nobody is allowed to leave. The Bavarian government and the government at Berlin are deposed. A new government will be formed at once. The barracks of the Reichswehr are occupied. Both have rallied behind the swastika.”

Hitler in Jail 1923-1924Hitler in Jail 1923-1924 Given 5 years - mild conditions Lots time to think and write = Mein Kampf 1925 main thesis: “The Jewish Peril”
“Those fatal defects which finally led to Germany's downfall afford the clearest proof of how right we were in considering it absolutely necessary to set up programmatic aims which were sharply and distinctly defined. Because we recognized the defects above mentioned, we realized that a new conception of the State had to be formed, which in itself became a part of our new conception of life in general. ”
