Question

How were the Weimar Republic constituted?

Answer 1

Weimar Republic (German: Weimarer Republik[ˈvaɪmaʁɐ ʁepuˈbliːk]) was an unofficial, historical designation for theGerman state between 1919 and 1933. The name derives from the city ofWeimar, where its constitutional assembly first took place. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich; it had remained unchanged since 1871. In English the country was usually known simply as Germany. A national assembly was convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for theDeutsches Reich was written, and adopted on 11 August 1919. In its fourteen years, the Weimar Republic faced numerous problems, includinghyperinflation, political extremism (withparamilitaries – both left- and right-wing), as well as contentious relationships with the victors of the First World War. The people of Germany blamed the Weimar Republic rather than their wartime leaders for the country's defeat and for the humiliating terms of the Treaty of Versailles. However, the Weimar Republic government successfully reformed the currency, unified tax policies, and organized the railway system.[citation needed][original research?] Weimar Germany fulfilled most of the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles although it never completely met its disarmament requirements, and eventually paid only a small portion of the war reparations (by twice restructuring its debt through theDawes Plan and the Young Plan).[5]Under the Locarno Treaties, Germany accepted the western borders of the republic, but continued to dispute the Eastern border.

Birth of the Weimer Republic:

Germany’s defeat in the First World War and the abdication of the emperor gave an opportunity to parliamentary parties to recast German polity.
A National Assembly met at Weimer and established a democratic constitution with a federal structure.
Deputies were elected to the German Parliament or Reichstag on the basis of universal adult franchise. Women also got the right to vote.
The Peace Treaty of Versailles was harsh and humiliating for Germany.
Germany lost its overseas colonies, a tenth of its population, 13 % of its territories, 75% of its iron and 26% of its coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania.
The ‘War Guilt’ clause held Germany responsible for the war and damages suffered by the allied countries.
Germany had to pay a compensation of six billion pounds.
The Allied armies occupied Rhineland for the much of 1920s.
Many Germans believed that the new Weimer Republic was responsible for not only the defeat in the war but the disgrace at Versailles.
