The So Called Wiemar republic was a German government that was set up after ww1 it never became stable and was an attempt by the wealthy upper classes ( Old money) of Germany to hold onto the old powers and position by walking a tight rope between socialism as opposed to communism and The old wealth It was doomed to failure It had a presidential system where the president had the power to override the constitution in emergency situations. which eventually led to the president One of the old wealthy groups thinking that his group would be able to control Hitler and the NAZI party, Installed Hitler as Chancellor. he was wrong and the rest is history. Hitler with the aid of both local wealth and wealth from England and The united states wasted no time ceasing power. What can be said in defence of the German people is that although Germany was a democracy Hitler never gained more then 33% of the Vote Or more then 3 seats in the government. he was instaled by conspirators that lost controll.
The Weimar Republic was established in 1919. It was the German Government between WW1 and WW2. it faced many problems from extremists, power in the Reichstag and the economy. Reparations led to hyperinflation which was later resolved by the Dawes Plan.
Yes. The Weimar Republic, prior to the Nazi takeover was a democratic state.
The Weimar was a democratic government put in place after the kaiser abdicated. It ruled by popular vote, however it did not rule effectively. And that made it made Hitler's ascent to power easier.
The government that replaced the democratically elected Weimar Republic in Germany was the totalitarian Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler. Hitler became the chancellor in 1933 and gradually consolidated his power, eventually transforming Germany into a one-party state with himself as the absolute dictator. This new government was known as the Third Reich.
During the Weimar Republic, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) was often the majority party, especially in the early years following World War I. However, the political landscape was highly fragmented, with several parties competing for power. The SPD's influence waned later in the Republic, particularly as extremist parties like the Nazis and Communists gained traction. Ultimately, the instability of the multiparty system prevented any single party from maintaining a consistent majority throughout the Weimar years.

He supported it long enough to get himself voted into office and to legally gain absolute power. Afterwards he dissolved that government.
There was none. No such position existed. Germany was a monarchy at the time led by Kaiser (king) Wilhem the 2nd, the next highest position was that of Chancellor. This was a weak (unless given power by the Kaiser) position held by Friedrich Ebert; this Kaiser unlike the previous one was unwilling to share power with his Chancellor. Now, after the war and the Treaty of Versailles the Weimar Republic did have a President, the first of whom just happened to be Friedrich Ebert again. The President in the Weimar Republic system is role unlike that of the US president since the Weimar Republic was a semi presidential system and the power was split with the chancellor.
The official name of the government was the Deutsches Reich, which basically means "German Realm" in German.However, the government was informally called the Weimar Republic ("Weimarer Republik"in German). It is named after the city of Weimar in central Germany; the negotiations that led to the republic's formation and constitution happened there.

The Weimar Republic, established after World War I, was characterized by a democratic system with a constitution that allowed for multiple political parties and regular elections, contrasting sharply with the autocratic rule of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who wielded centralized power. Under the Kaiser, Germany was a monarchy where decisions were made by the emperor and his advisors, often sidelining public opinion. The Weimar Republic faced significant challenges, including hyperinflation and political extremism, which further differentiated it from the relative stability of the imperial regime. Additionally, the Weimar period saw a cultural flourishing that was often stifled under the kaiser's conservative governance.
No, it was more of a federal constitutional monarchy with the Kaiser (Emperor) retaining a considerable amount of political power.
The final crisis for the Weimar Republic after the French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 was marked by hyperinflation and political instability. The occupation led to passive resistance by German workers, further crippling the economy and prompting the government to print more money to support striking workers. This excessive printing resulted in hyperinflation, devastating savings and eroding public trust in the government. The economic turmoil fueled extremist political movements, ultimately destabilizing the Weimar Republic and paving the way for Adolf Hitler's rise to power.
