what was the cause of the munich putsch?
to seize power
the beer hall putsch, also known as the munich putsch, and, in german, as the hitlerputsch, hitler-ludendorff-putsch, bürgerbräu-putsch or marsch auf die feldherrnhalle ("march on the field marshals's hall"), was a failed coup d'état by the nazi party (nsdap) leader adolf hitler—along with "generalquartiermeister" erich ludendorff and other "kampfbund" leaders—to seize power in munich, bavaria, which took place from 8 november to 9 november 1923. approximately two thousand nazis were marching to the feldherrnhalle, in the city center, when they were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 nazis and four police officers. hitler, who was wounded during the clash, escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside. after two days, he was arrested and charged with treason.

further pressure from the political right came in 1923 with the beer hall putsch, also called the munich putsch, staged by the nazi party under adolf hitler in munich. in 1920, the german workers' party had become the national socialist german workers' party (nsdap), or nazi party, and would become a driving force in the collapse of weimar. hitler named himself as chairman of the party in july 1921. on 8 november 1923, the "kampfbund", in a pact with erich ludendorff, took over a meeting by bavarian prime minister gustav von kahr at a beer hall in munich.
