➡️The Weimar repulbic was not recieved well by it's own people, largely because of the terms it was forced to accept after Germany's defeat after WWI.✔️
➡️The peace treaty at Versailles with the Allies was a harsh and humiliating peace. Germany lost it's overseas colonies, a tenth of it's population, 13 % of it's territories, 75 % of it's iron and 26 % of it's coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania. ✔️
➡️The Allied Powers demilitarised Germany to weaken it's power. ✔️
➡️The War Guilt Clause held Germany responsible for the war and damages the Allied Countries suffered. ✔️
➡️Germany was forced to pay compensation amounting to 6 billion pounds. ✔️
➡️The Allied armies also occupied the resource-rich Rhineland for much of the 1920s. ✔️
➡️Many Germans held the new Weimar Republic responsible for not only the defeat in the war but the disgrace at Versailles.✔️
➡️The Weimar constitution had some inherent defects, which made it unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship. ✔️
➡️One was proportional representation . This made achieving a majority by any one party a near impossible task, leading to a rule by coalitions. ✔️
➡️Another defect was Atricle 48, which gave the President powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree.✔️
➡️Within it's short life, the Weimar Republic saw 20 different cabinets lasting by average 239 days, and a liberal use of Article 48. ✔️
➡️Yet, the crisis could not be managed. People lost confidence in the democratic parliamentary system, which seemed to offer no solutions.✔️
