Question

Describe the problem faced by the weimar republic short answer

Answer 1

The Weimar Republic faced a lot of problems during the 1920’s. Germany had just been defeated in the First World War and the Government that had just come into power had no other choice but to sign the Armistice. The German people was angered by this because they believed that they had been ‘stabbed in the back’ which I will explain later in this essay. There was then a peach group that was formed called The Treaty of Versailles but this Treaty didn’t look favourably on Germany and made German pay huge reparations which were around £6600 million pounds as well as taking 13% of their land away from the Germans.  I think the largest problem the Weimar Republic faced was The Treaty of Versailles.

After the defeat of Imperial Germany, the Weimar Republic came into existence. The Republic had a democratic constitution and a federal structure. The Republic was not well received by the people. The Weimar Republic faced many problems on all fronts-economic, political, and social.

It was held responsible for the defeat in the First World War. The Republic had to pay war compensation and this put the Republic in deep financial crisis.

Germany had fought the war largely on loans and had to pay war reparations in gold. Subsequently, gold reserves depleted and the value of the German market fell. Prices of essential commodities rose dramatically.

The Weimar Republic faced problems on the political front also. The Constitution had many defects. The Constitution gave the President powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights, and rule by decree.

The Weimar Republic had 20 different cabinets within a short span of time. Soon people lost confidence in the democratic parliamentary system.
