describe the problems faced by the weimar Republic

Hi my dear friend,
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.

The problems faced by the Weimar Republic:
1. The treaty of Versailles- Many Germans held the new republic responsible not only for the defeat of Germany in World War 1 but also for the national humiliation at Versailles.
2. Economic crises- The Weimar was financially crippled by the war compensation impose on Germany.
3. Economic reforms- In 1923, the German government retaliated against the French occupation of Ruhr industrial area, by printing of enormous paper currency notes.
4. The great economic depression- The US withdrawal of loans led the situations worsen in Germany. About 6 million people lost their jobs and inflation became very high.
5. Political instability- The system of proportional representation made achieving a majority near impossible in Germany. Article 48 gave the president the powers to impose emergency.
HOPE IT HELPS
Thanking you
Yours truly
