Question

How was Weimar Republic born in Germany explain

Answer 1

The Weimar Republic was formed because one of the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, which ended WW1 was that Germany become a democracy. The Allies wouldn't negotiate peace with Germany unless it was a democracy, and so Ludendorff, who had basically been running the country with the Kaiser as a figurehead, handed the power over to the democratic politicians. This move was also a bit of a self preservation move as well. He knew that Germany would be defeated, and that the terms of the inevitable peace treaty would be harsh, and so by handing the power over to the democratic politicians they were the ones to negotiate the treaty and thus the blame fell to them, preserving the reputation of the Germany army in the eyes of the German public.

Answer 2

• The Weimar Republic was born in Germany by its Government from 1919 to 1933 which was the period after World War I until the rise of Nazi Germany.

• Weimar Republic was named after the town of Weimar where the new government of Germany was set by a national assembly just after Kaiser Wilhelm II resigned.

• From its unstable onsets to a quick season of achievement and then a devastating recession, the Weimar Republic suffered enough unrest to position Germany for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

• The Weimar Constitution comprised many highlights including the German Reich being a Republic, the government made of a president, a chancellor and a parliament known as Reichstag and Representatives of the people must be appointed equally every four years by all men and women over the age of twenty.
