The Weimar Republic was created at a time of confusion and chaos after Germany had lost the World War One. Many people felt that Germany had received a very harsh deal in the Treaty of Versailles and they resented the government for signing it and agreeing to its conditions.
The Weimar Republic faced violent uprisings from various groups, not to mention devastating economic problems.
Germany between 1918 and 1919 was in chaos. People were starving, the Kaiser had fled and people hated the government for signing the armistice in November 1918 - they called them the November criminals. Bands of soldiers called Freikorps refused to disband and formed private armies. It was not a good start for the Republic.
There was continuous violence and unrest:
In March 1920, there was a rebellion - the Kapp Putsch - that aimed to set up a new government as the rebels were angry at them for signing the Treaty of Versailles.Nationalist terror groups assassinated 356 government politicians.Many of the people in Germany were communists, who wanted to bring in a Russian-style communist government. There were a number of communist uprisings. For instance, in 1919 the Spartacists rebelled in Berlin.
Crowds at the Kapp Putsch in March 1920
The Weimar government's main crisis occurred in 1923, when the Germans failed to make a reparationspayment on time, which set off a train of events that included:
a French invasion of the Ruhra general strikerunaway inflation - hyperinflationa number of communist rebellionsan attempted Nazi putsch in Munich
