Blame for defeat in the First World War |
When the leaders of the Weimar Republic signed the armistice that ended the fighting, many Germans were shocked. The Kaiser had not told the German people that they were losing the war, and victory seemed possible. They felt betrayed and was looking for someone to blame. The people believed that Germany could have won the war if the army had not been stabbed in the back by the weak politicians who lacked the will to fight on. This was known as the 'stab in the back' myth. |
