Hitler called himself the Führer (meaning "leader") after 1934. Hitler's dictatorship is known as Nazi Germany, also known as the Third Reich (meaning "Third Empire" or "Third Realm").

He began running the government when he became the Chancellor of Germany in 1933. He led them to become the most powerful political party in Germany after the 1932 elections. In jail, he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). In 1923, he attempted to seize governmental power in a failed coup in Munich and was imprisoned with a sentence of five years. Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party in 1921. He and his Nazi government are known for causing World War II and the Holocaust, which killed millions.
