______________________
Germany during the 1st World War (1914-1918) was with The Axis power and was fighting against the Allies. Germany made initial gains by occupying France and Belgium but due to the entry of USA, Germany lost the war.

After its defeat the ruler of Germany fled to Holland and this gave a chance to all political leaders of Germany to recast German polity. A national assembly met at Weimar and formed Weimar Republic.

The Weimar Republic signed a very humiliating treaty (Treaty Of Versailles) with the Allies due to which Germany lost its overseas colonies, one tenth of its population, 13% of its own territories, 75% of its iron and 26% of its coal.
In addition it has to pay £6 Billion to the Allies.

This led to a great downfall in the economy of Germany.
