Nazi Germany, formally known as the Third Reich, played a major role during World War II. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany pursued policies of extreme nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism.
Nazi Germany carried out large-scale military expansion and launched a series of aggressive wars, bringing great disasters to the world. Its genocide policy, especially the Holocaust against the Jews, is one of the darkest chapters in human history.

During the war, Nazi Germany's military forces achieved some victories in the early stages, but as the war progressed, the Allies gradually gained the upper hand. Finally, in 1945, Nazi Germany was defeated and surrendered, Hitler committed suicide, and Germany was occupied by the Allies in different areas, entering a new historical period.
