Who Was Responsible For The Downfall Of The Weimar Republic

Decent Essays
The Weimar Republic ... had hardly ever been faced with a genuine opposition- only or almost, with fanatical enemies. An opposition keeps within the framework of the State... the enemies of the republic refused to accept the state as such from the outset. They professed to stand outside it while enjoying every advantage conferred by a democratic constitution".

The economic factors also played a large role in the fall of the Weimar Republic. The development and functioning of the German democracy was constantly weakened by economic challenge. This was evident particularly between 1918 and 1923 when the republic was faced with major economic problems which were partly caused by the Treaty of Versailles and the development of the hyperinflation

    Among them, the best argument is provided by Carl-Ludwig Holtfrerich, who argues that the political failures by Weimar’s leaders throughout the 1920s were caused by unavoidable economic calamity. Rejecting Borchardt’s thesis, Holtfrerich argues that the inflationary monetary policy pursued between 1922 and 1923, was both consequential and unavoidable. As the Entente powers were still requiring reparation payments prior to the passage of Dawes Plan in 1924, the German government had little choice but to pursue a form of monetary policy that led to a liquidity trap. Furthermore, in the depression era, whether labor had continued to demand payments for unemployment, the rate of unemployment would have still be extremely high as a result of the crash of global markets. Showcasing the minimal role German labor played in starting both economic crises of the 1920s, Holtfrerich makes clear that the Germans were primarily victims of economic physics beyond their control.…

    It was to a large extent that revolutionary and counter-revolutionary forces destabilised the Weimar Government in the period 1919-1923. Both right and left winged groups sought control or downfall of the Weimar republic leading to multiple revolutions such as the Kapp Putch and the Spartacist uprising, severely effecting the Weimar Government’s overall stability. The Weimar’s flawed constitution further allowed tensions to rise on both left and right winged sides. The Weimar Government, which was led mostly by the Social Democrats and President Friedrich Ebert, also destabilised the Weimar Government through failing to create a new army under the Weimar Republic and instead relied on that of the existing right-winged military and the freikorps (ex-militant group) as their counter-revolutionary forces. These revolutions and counter-revolutions made the Weimar Government appear weak thus destabilising the Government.…

    The two points of views he follows are those of AJ P. Taylor who sees Germany as having a romantic-nationalistic tradition that accentuated the worship of a powerful state and a great leader. Noakes notes that there is convincing evidence that Germany had a vigorous political culture along with a healthy participatory political culture. The second argument that he states is that many historians assess that the weakening of this democratic culture was due to crisis after crisis, such as the defeat of World War I, the revolution of November 1918, the hyperinflation of 1922 and the great Depression. Noakes feels that both arguments are correct. The overall political structure broke under the crises, but he believes undoubtedly that the German military and nobility held romantic views that enabled them to embrace Hitler…

    The world was left in disarray after the first World War, and much of the international economy depended the growing success of the United States as the remaining world superpower. As a result, the crash affected nations worldwide as Germany was still struggling from the Treaty of Versailles, and ultimately Nazi Regime took hold of the poor situation (Harris 7). If it were not for the Crash that led to the international downfall, Germany would have not been in such a dire state and not allow fascist ideals to sneak into their central government. Germany desired for stability and Nazi ideology became their focus in order to reinforce their place in the world once again, but Germany began to violate the laws of the Treaty of Versailles. As the power of Nazi regime grew, so did the economy of Germany and an improving sense of nationalism that eventually evolved into German expansion throughout Europe.…

    The party promised to bring back Germany to its initial prosperity, create more jobs for the people and do away with the Treaty of Versailles. Furthermore, the worsening economic conditions as a result of the invasion of Ruhr by the French and Belgians in 1923, negatively affected the Weimar Republic. This invasion led to hyperinflation and eventually economic depression after the US withdrew its loans following the crash of Wall Street. This is what appealed to the voters (Ferguson and Hans-Joachim 128). Work cited Bessel, Richard.…

    Instead a system of gradually restricting the rights of Jews was improvised. Analysis of these key facts reveals the fallacy of viewing the adherents of Nazism as simple caricatures of evil. The misinterpretation that the people of Germany initially sided with Hitler solely to fulfill their homicidal desires overlooks the condition of the country following World War I. After their defeat, the quality of life for many slowly deteriorated. A republican government, the Weimar Republic, was installed by the allies and the country was faced with unjust financial reparations that served as a catalyst for a depression. The desperation of the economic situation combined with general dissatisfaction with the Weimar Republic, many viewing it as a puppet government of the allies, caused a large number of people to feel insecure about…

    Introduction The rise to power by the NSDAP party during the period of 1925-1933 can be attribute to many factors, which can be categorized into external and internal factors. The external factors that will be looked at are the circumstances many German’s found themselves in due to the Great Depression, these circumstances in turn led to an increase in support for the NSDAP. The Great depression also created another external factor that helped the NSDAP gain more power, and that factor was the inability of the other parties, such as the KDP (Communist Party) to work together and present a solution for the people of Germany, who were tired of being victims to poverty. These external factors resulted in a decrease in popularity for the parties…

    This reflected how Germany had been under the Kaiser, which were more prosperous times than Germany’s current situation. The democratic experiment caused by the Treaty of Versailles overthrew the Kaiser and since the start of the democracy, the people had faced two crippling depressions. The government was hindered in its approach to the Great Depression because of the memory of six years previously, the previous economic depression, which meant that the government’s approach to the Great Depression had to involve cuts and taxes instead of inflation. This meant that the Great Depression was particularly significant politically because it brought the Nazi Party to light as the Nazis had been repeating the same main messages since the previous depression: the Weimar government was indecisive, the Treaty of Versailles needed to be abolished, and the Communists needed to be overthrown. This was a very powerful message to those most vulnerable to the Depression: the middle classes, the unemployed and the elderly.…

    The system of proportional representation meant that the Reichstag was constantly divided in opinion and unable to agree on anything. This meant that nothing was done about the economic crisis of 1929. The German people already did not trust the government because they felt that the November criminals had betrayed them when they agreed to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Article 48 of the Weimar Republic’s constitution stated that the president could make decisions without consulting the Reichstag in emergency situations. This as well was a weakness since it went against everything the Weimar Republic stood for: democracy.…
