What were the causes of failure of Weimar Republic?
Answers
Impact of conspiracy theories : During that times, Germany was allowing many conspiracy theories to circulate and flourish. This was one of the reasons for the downfall of the Weimar republic .
Responses to the Treaty of Versailles : The treaty of Versailles imposed extremely harsh terms on germany. This was also a great blow to the Weimar Republic as they were reluctant to work according to those terms and conditions.
The Difficulties of Minority Government : For the duration of the Weimar Republic, no single political party ever held an absolute majority of Reichstag seats – which meant that no party was able to form a government on its own. To form government and push through legislation, parties had to group together into coalitions to form a majority. But the political divisions of the 1920s meant that these coalitions were fragile and unstable. Some parties, especially those on the radical fringes, refused to participate in Reichstag coalitions, or they entered them reluctantly or insincerely. This was also a reason that prevented the Weimar republic from being truly successfully.
