Hitler-His rise to power
A 'putsch' is an illegal overthrow of government by using the force of violence. Hitler attempted a putsch in Munich, 1923. I believe that Hitler chose to carry out the putsch in Munich because it was in Bavaria. The people in Bavaria were most likely to think like Hitler as they were right-wing nationalists and against democracy. Most of the Bavarians were Catholics and didn't like Protestants in Berlin and were against the Berlin government, against Weimar. Also Bavaria had a history of separatism.

Naturally, for the attempted take over of the Bavarian government, Hitler received a sentence of five years in a tightly controlled, minimum-security prison. After 9 months, he was set free on good behaviour. Nevertheless, Hitler put his time to good use by writing 'Mein Kampf ', his personal life story. At first Hitler did not gain votes, but he continued to use violence against his enemies. This made the Weimar government seem as if it was not in control of Law and Order, this led to the middle classes supporting Hitler, as they liked discipline. Hitler then personalised the Nazi Party. In February 1925, Hitler re-launched the legal Nazi Party. He gave it an identity with: uniform, swastika, ranks/badges and hiera
