hey Daksh,
here is your answer.
》》》》》》》》》
Germany, a powerful empire in the early years of the 20th century, fought the First World War (1914-1918) alongside the Austrain empire and against the Allies (England, France, Russia). War stretched on, eventually draining resources of Europe. Germany made initial gains by occupying France and Belguim. However the Allies, strengthened by the US entry in 1917, won, defeating Germany and the Central Powers in November 1918. The defeat of Imperial Germany and the abdication of the emporer gave an opportunity to parliamentary parties to recast German polity. A national Assembly met at Weimar and established a democratic constitution with a federal structure. Deputies were now elected to the German Parliament or Reichstag, on the basis of equal and universal votes cast by all adult including women. This was called the WEIMAR REPUBLIC.
THANK YOU .

The Weimar Republic was founded at the end of World War I, with Germany in a state of near-anarchy. The Social Democratic Party was the leading party in the creation of the Weimar Republic. It was the only party with sufficient credibility and acceptance by Wilson to negotiate an armistice agreement. It was, however, not in the mainstream of German politics since it primarily represented the working class.
The new government lacked support from the majority of the German people, many of whom identifed it with defeat and with the "Versailles Diktat". Although it was a Republic, the kind of government the Allies would want to deal with, it was also the government of the former enemy and therefore not accepted on an equal basis. The reparations demands and other features of the Versailles Treaty, as well as the fear of a revived Germany, prevented normal foreign relationships from developing.
The history of the Weimar Republic may be divided into three distinct
periods:
1918-1923 was a time of political and economic instability. The government was constantly under attack from right-wing groups who criticized it for betraying German national interests. Assassinations and attempted coups characterized the politics.
Economically, it was a time of great crisis because Germany could not cope with reparations payments in addition to the enormous burdern of recovery. There was a massive hyper-inflation in 1923 which wiped out the savings of millions of middle class Germans. It is from this group that Hitler would later receive his greatest support.
1924-1929 was a time of stability and economic recovery, based upon the flow of private investments from the United States. The German economy recovered and negotiations with England and France brought the government a measure of equality and an involvement in normal diplomacy.
1929-1933 brought depression, and with it, the return of political instability. Moderate leadership, the parties of the Center, were unable to resolve the economic problems. Extremist parties, particularly the Nazis, gained widespread but not quite majority support. In 1932, the Nazis became the largest single party in the Reichstag. They refused to cooperate in forming a governing coalition unless Hitler was appointed as
Chancellor. After more than a year of rule by Presidential decree (in the absence of a majority coalition), Hitler was appointed Chancellor in January, 1933.
Once Hitler had the power of Chancellor, he maneuvred to concentrate complete power in his hands. Within a year he had destroyed the Weimar Republic, the government which he had labelled the "Guilty Men of 1918."
