Strictly speaking, the 'Spartacus Week' of 5-12 January 1919 predates the formation of the Weimar Republic. It was confined to Berlin and the chances of the Spartacists gaining power were very remote. The most serious threat was the hardline right wing Kapp-Putsch of March 1920, which sent the government fleeing first to Dresden and then to Stuttgart.

The expression Weimar Republic is a nickname which only came into use after the republic had collapsed. If you look at stamps issued in 1919-32 you'll find that they say Deutsches Reich. This was a concession to hardline conservatives, who had an absolute horror of the word republic. The republic created in 1918-19 was not in fact 'based on Weimar'. The point is that the National Assembly met in Weimar in 1919 in order to work out a new constitution in peaceful surroundings, away from Berlin.


How was the reputation of the weimar republic damaged by signing the armistice of 1918?

The reputation of the Weimar Republic was severely damaged by the signing of the Armistice of 1918 because it was perceived as a surrender to the Allies in World War I. Many Germans felt betrayed, believing that the military could have continued to fight, and they associated the new government with this perceived capitulation. This loss of national pride contributed to the "stab-in-the-back" myth, which blamed the republic's leaders for Germany's defeat, leading to widespread disillusionment and political instability. Consequently, the Weimar Republic struggled to gain legitimacy and support from the populace.
