The Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), the formal term for the Nazi Party (1919-1945). This was a German political movement formed in the wake of World War I that governed Germany, incorporated it into the Third Reich, and instigated both World War II and the Holocaust.

Prior to 1920, it was known simply as a German Workers Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei). During its existence, it included "sections" in Austria (to 1937), Czechoslovakia (to 1939), Poland (to 1939), and elsewhere. In addition, many parallel movements were formed in Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Levant. Since World War II, the Nazi party has been banned in Germany and some other countries; however, legal Nazi or Nazi-like movements exist in several countries. Nazi ideology is the most odious of all known movements, and is generally recognized as the epitome of evil.
