Summary
The Munich/Beer Hall Pustch was an attempt to ovethrow the government after protesting the French occupation of the Ruhr. The event was supposed to happen similar to the way that Mussolini's March on Rome had happened, however the entire thing fails. Following things, both Hitler and General Ludendorff were arrested and sent to Landsberg Prison. While Hitler was in prison he wrote "Mein Kampf" meaning "My struggle" which he dictated to Rudolf Hess who recorded his words. Within this, he outlines the future of Nazism including his plans for territorial claims, beginning of his genocide on the Jewish people, his anti-communist intentions, and need to re-arm the country, getting rid of the restraints placed on them nationally by the Treaty of Versailles. He also touched on his obsession with the rise of the Aryan Race.
