Summary
Hitler wanted to overthrow the government, so he would get a bunch of people together in Munich at a beer hall and try and pursued them when they were under the influence. He wanted to do something like the march on Rome but in the morning when it was supposed to happen most people didn't show up because they were no longer intoxicated. Hitler was arrested and put in jail. While Hitler was in jail he wrote a book called Mein Kamp that outlined all his ideas and plans for when he was in power. This included his ideas on Nazism like: Anti-semitism, Anti-Communism, getting rid of the Treaty of Versailles and the rise of the Aryan Race.
