Kampfbund is German for "Battle League". It was created on 30 September 1923 at Nuremberg, where Adolf Hitler joined other patriotic nationalist leaders to celebrate German Day which marked the anniversary of the Prussian victory over France in 1870. The purpose was to consolidate and streamline their agendas and also prepare to take advantage of the split between Bavaria and the central government. The impetus of this consolidation was the ending of the clandestine Ruhr war by the Berlin central government which infuriated the freebooters and nationalists.
