Adolf Hitler: From Democracy to Dictatorship

Adolf Hitler became German Chancellor (prime minister) because his party, the National Socialist Party (Nazi), received more votes in parliamentary elections in 1932. Hitler cynically used the democratic process; he was never a believer in democracy. His dictatorial ambitions were published in Mein Kampf (My Way) in 1925, a clear declaration of his global domination plans. It should have been no surprise when he began dismantling democracy as Chancellor eight years later, in January 1933.
