In the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party attempt to overthrow the government.

On November 8–9, 1923, Hitler and the Nazi Party lead a coalition group in an attempted coup d'état. It is known as the Beer Hall Putsch. They begin at a beer hall in the Bavarian city of Munich. Their goal is to seize control of the Bavarian state government, and then march on Berlin, and overthrow the German federal government. The coup quickly fails. The Nazi Party is banned. Hitler is arrested, tried, and convicted of treason.
