Weimar Republic

No, he wanted to overthrow them not support them. hope it helps :)

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 US loaned money to Germany and Germany was to repay its reparations to Europeans after World War I. The Europeans were then to make loan payments to US (to repay the loans we gave them during WWI). The whole plan fell apart when the Great Depression hit. The Johnson Act later took effect which stated that the U.S would not trade or invest with any nation that wasn't paying their loans.

# France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland in January 1923. The Germans responded with a general strike in the occupied area. # The German currency, which had already lost 96% of its value since 1914, suffered hyperinflation later that year - culminating in an average daily inflation rate of 26% from August-November. # In November 1923 there was the attempt by Hitler and Ludenforff to overthrow the government of Bavaria as the first step in taking over the German government by force.

The Chancellor was chosen by the President, which may have been seen as a weakness of the Weimar Republic, as it did not consult the public. The Reichstag was generally supportive of the representative chosen to enrol as the Chancellor.

The Weimar Republic had serious weaknesses from the start. Germany lacked a strong democratic tradition, postwar Germany had several major political pares and many minor ones, and millions of Germans blamed the Weimar government and not the leaders for the country's defeat.

One main group were the Spartacists-the German Communist Party. Being an extremist left wing party, they believed in equality for everyone. Usually, communism wouldn't be a big thing in a country like Germany, but due to the fact that there were many poorer people than before-because of the blockade of German ports-communism seemed like a good idea, as it was in their interests. Of course, this wasn't good news for the richer members of society-who were able to sustain themselves with the help of their wealth. Also, just two years before this uprising, Russia had turned communist. As communism in Russia seemed to be working very well at the time, many Spartacists must have thought that this was a great example to follow.

On top of being communist, most members of the Spartacist Party were Jewish and the leader of this party was a woman. Many richer Germans didn't like communists or Jews, so the thought of dealing with them both must either make them feel frustrated or satisfied that nothing will actually happen. Women had no real significance in this period of time, so for a woman to start and organise an up rise, trying to overthrow the current Government and make Germany communist must have been unreal.

Rosa Luxemburg and her party tried to overthrow Berlin, but the whole event was very badly organised and they were easily dealt with via the Freikorps. This caused a lot of controversy. Ebert ordered the Freikorps to capture Spartacist members. But instead they murdered Luxemburg and Karl Liebknicht (a co-leader) and illegally disposed of their bodies. Also, Ebert, despite having similar views than those of the Spartacists, he didn't side with them, as he would lose his own power.

The Spartacists thought the current state of the country would worsen their already poor lives. They found it unfair that they were possibly working harder and longer than those with inherited wealth or better jobs, but still get paid less. They also thought that the Weimar would even lessen their chances of ever being equal.

During the Nazi era in Germany, Hitler and his Nazi associates might have executed (and, in fact, did execute) officials and citizens who had nothing to do with the 'SA' (or 'Sturmabteilung') organization because of their violent commitment to absolute power. The persecution, imprisonment, and outright execution of any perceived enemies of Nazi control was an increasingly pervasive feature of Nazi Germany under Hitler's leadership.

Between 1919 to 1933, Germany underwent a transitional phase of democracy (preceded by a monarchic line of Emperors and Chancellors and succeeded by Hitler's Fascist regime). The established parliament conducted its state assemblies in the city of Weimar, hence given the name "Weimar Republic" by historians.

The dawes plan is when the US gave loans to Germany in hopes of getting it back, but they never did because Germany had 33 billion dollars in reperations to pay from WWI.

The treaty of Locarno was chiefly, three agreements,

1. Rhineland Pact (between Germany, France, and Belgium)

the Rhineland will remain a demilitarized zone, and the 3 countries will respect ones boarders

2. Treaty of Arbitration

-countries will submit theirselves to arbitration (third neutral party that settles agrrements)

3. Treaty of Mutual Assistance

Because Hitler was overconfident. He expected that as soon as he marched into the beer hall, the leaders of the Weimar Republic would be ready to collaborate with the Nazis. Instead, they refused. This irritated Hitler.

He was subsequently arrested when met with a force of 100 Reichswehr soldiers, ready to apprehend him. He spent close to 9 months in jail as a result in 1924.

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.

because by the weimar republic was so bad and the army was s poor

Adolf Hitler was the political leader who gained power as a result of the falling economy of the Wiemer republic.

Which one? Hitler's, remember, was the THIRD Reich. The first was the Holy Roman Empire, which lasted from 962 to 1806 (not quite a thousand-year job); the second was the Empire proclaimed at Versailles in 1870, which was formally dissolved in the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 - 49 years; and Hitler's power ran from 1933 to 1945, or 12 years.

The first Chancellor was Konrad Adenauer, who held the post from 1949-1963. He lived from 1876-1967 and was 87 (!) when he retired. He was a Christian Demcrat and with Charles de Gaulle played a key role in putting Franco-German relations on a firm footing. Joncey

It coordinated Germanys annual payments with its ability to pay, also granted an initial $200 million loan for Germany recovery

• Proportional representation - instead of voting for an MP, like we do in Britain, Weimar Germans voted for a party. Each party was then allocated seats in the Reichstag exactly reflecting (proportional' to) the number of people who had voted for it. This sounds fair, but in practice it was a disaster it resulted in dozens of tiny parties, with no party strong enough to get a majority, and, therefore, no government to get its laws passed in the Reichstag. This was a major weakness of the Republic.
• Article 48 - this said that, in an emergency, the president did not need the agreement of the Reichstag, but could issue decrees. The problem with this was that it did not say what an emergency was, and in the end, it turned out to be a back door that Hitler used to take power legally.

• Left-wing and right-wing opposition
• Treaty of Versailles
• Economic crises
• Constitution and its electoral system

-Many more people turned against the government and blamed them for not paying up -Internationally Germany gained sympathy from other countries i dont know any more that that, but im trying to find out myself so i thought id say what ive got so far!
