Heya!
Here is your answer!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Definition of Nazismthe body of political and economic doctrines held and put into effect by the Nazis in Germany from 1933 to 1945 including the totalitarian principle of government, predominance of especially Germanic groups assumed to be racially superior, and supremacy.
How they got famous?
The armistice was not seen as unconditional surrender by Germany but this is what it was taken as by the Allies and the terms reflected this. It imposed incredible hardship on Germans and French intransigence prevented the weak(and universally detested) central government from improving the lot of the German people. The complete breakdown of social order and the running battles between the right and left wing political party supporters made life a living hell. The army also chafed under the restrictions of Versailles and of course national pride played a huge role in the resentment of the foreign powers who it was felt (justifiably) were bent on punishing Germany ad infinitum (rejection of the US calls for easing of reparation terms)The Nationalist and Socialist parties were an unlikely match and their merger gave the a leg in both camps. They were socially acceptable to the workers while the elites saw them as a pet party they could use to control the system and maintain their position. The NAZI party propaganda struck just the right chord at the right time in Germany. They promised (and delivered in areas they had control) security, jobs and an increased prosperity. This track record was important and if a few heads got broken in the process it was par for the course in Germany at the time. For the army, the promises to repeal the Versailles restrictions was a key component of garnering at least their neutrality. The General staff never supported the NAZIs but they saw the potential gains to be had by not opposing themRemember that the NAZIs did not win a majority in the elections and had to govern in a coalition until after the Reichstag fire. They did deliver on their promises of prosperity and social order such that living standards under the NAZIS exceeded most of Europe until well into the early 40s. Germany also regained its national pride under the NAZIs and this was no small fact in their popularity.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hope it helped!

Yes Nazism was an idealogy or policy or system of Government. It was based on on the Principle of Totalitarian and Authoritarian Government and followed an Unreasonable Views about race .
Nazism became popular in Germany due to many reasons and not one. Some of them are as follows-
A) FAILURE OF TREATY OF VERSAILLES- Germany had lost world war I as a result of which heavy amount was imposed on them by the allies. Hitler's Nazi Party portrayed itself as a symbol of revival and tried to gain popularity among the people of Germany.
B) ECONOMIC CRISIS- After the failure of treaty of versailles, The weimar Republic did very little to improve the economic condition of the people of the country. There was severe unemployment, poverty, market downfall, etc. Under this condition, Hitler was seen as a hope for their upliftment.
C) Fear of spread of Communism .
