The Weimar Republic
|
The Weimar Republic was the government set up in Germany after the November Armistice at the end of World War One. It was collapsed in 1933, when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and the Nazi Party came into power. It experienced many problems, including hyperinflation, which caused the Great Depression, and proved to be largely unpopular, which gave more support and credence to Adolf Hitler and his ideals.
