After the defeat of the imperial Germany after the World War 1 and the abdication of the emperor ( Kaiser William II ) the politicians and the Catholics of Germany got a chance to recast German polity.
They drafted a constitution for Germany that provided Right to vote to everyone (adults) including Women .
But the weimar republic was unable to gain the support of the people. The people of Germany thought that Germany lost The world war 1 because of the weimar republic.
The weimar republic signed a very humiliating treaty - "treaty of versallies". According to this treaty Germany lost its overseas colonies, 13 % of its own territories , 75 % of its iron , one tenth of its population , 26 % of its coal . In contrast she was forced to pay compensation of 6 billion euros to the allies.
The policies of the weimar republic were too in-stable that it was almost impossible for 1 party to win the elections. It also signed an Article 48 according to which the president could seize control over the state anytime.
All these decisions led to in-stability in Germany which led to economic Crisis and then the fall of Weimar Republic.
