IGCSE REVISION - GERMANY: THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC.
The Weimar Republic was Germany's government from 1919 to 1933, the period after World War I until the rise of Nazi Germany. It was named after the town of Weimar where Germany's new government was formed by a national assembly after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated.
01. GERMANY - DEPTH STUDY: EMERGING FROM THE DEFEATGeorge Dumitrache
01. GERMANY - DEPTH STUDY: EMERGING FROM THE DEFEAT. At the end of World War I, Germans could hardly recognize their country. Up to 3 million Germans, including 15 percent of its men, had been killed. Germany had been forced to become a republic instead of a monarchy, and its citizens were humiliated by their nation's bitter loss. Germany lost 13% of its land and 12% of its population to the Allies. This land made up 48% of Germany's iron production and a large proportion of its coal productions limiting its economic power. The German Army was limited to 100,000 soldiers, and the navy was limited to 15,000 sailors.
IGCSE REVISION - GERMANY: THE ROOTS OF THE NAZI PARTYGeorge Dumitrache
IGCSE REVISION - GERMANY: THE ROOTS OF THE NAZI PARTY. Hitler joined the Nazi Party in 1919 and was influential in defining its beliefs. He also led the Munich Putsch in 1923. However, from 1924 to 1929 the unpopular party gained little electoral success.
The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.

Reparations Stab-in the back idea
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
6. What kind of problems?
Economic crisis Distribution of wealth
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)

- 48 % of the iron industry (in favor of …)
- African colonies (Togoland and Cameroon)
- Germany had to accept the blame for the war
- The army was reduced to 100,000 men (no possibility of defense)
- Why was the Treaty considered negative for Germany?
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
8. Treaty of Versailles. German reaction
Diktat: Germany had no option to negotiate the
conditions. They even did not participate in the
discussions.
How did Germans feel about this?
--- We are not obliged to follow these rules if we
have the chance
Can you argue something against this argument?
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
10. Treaty of Versailles.
Loss of territory:
- Germany lost 10% of the territory
- It,s important because many German
population was living in this territories.
They had two options:
- Stay as a minorities
- Move to Germany
- It,s not just a question of prestige, it,s
also a “personal” question.
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
11. Treaty of Versailles.
Disarmament
Germany Army was reduced to 100,000
men. Why was this decision a problem
for Germany?
- G could not start a new war
- G had problems to maintain the order
in the country (extremely weak country)
- How would be the disarmament fair?
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
12. Treaty of Versailles
War guilt (Art. 234 Treaty of Versailles)
The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany
accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing
all loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated
Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a
consequence of the war imposed on them by the aggression of
Germany and her allies
Germans felt this was very unfair.
Also, blame meaned in real terms ….
MONEY
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
14. Were the Germans right?
Partially YES
It is true the conditions of the Treaty
were hard for Germany
Partially NO
France wanted to divide Germany
into small states, even higher
reparations and the complete
elimination of the German Army (It
could be worse)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
15. So… many people were conspiring against
the democracy
At that moment, there were different opinions in Germany:
Those in favor of democracy (Majority of population)
Those against the democracy (Extremists: Ultranationalist and Communist, they hated each other)
-- Common features:
-- They believed in violence as the best way to obtain the power
-- They were against democracy (they preferred authoritarian regimes)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
16. In favor of democracy
The main party was the Social-Democrat Party (left-wing party), ruled by Ebert
There were also right-wing parties (DDP) and central parties (Zentrum, Catholic Party)
They had different ideas, but they accepted democracy as the best system of government
They represented 80% of German population
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
17. Those against democracy
Left-wing extremist:
They tried to establish a communist
rule in Germany
1917: Russian revolution… so why not
Germany?
Who --- Working class (they had bad
conditions of life, so they did not
care about liberties, they just want an
equal share of the wealth)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
18. Against democracy
Spartacist Revolution (1919)
The Communist tried to seize the power and
launch a revolution in Germany
They were able to declare the Independent
Socialist Republic of Bavaria
The Government used the Freikorps and the
Army to counteract the rebellion
Result --- The rebellion failed and the
communist leaders (R.Luxemburg and
Liebknecht) were assassinated
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
19. Those against democracy
Right-wing Nationalist:
They thought the Treaty was a complete
humiliation for Germany
They wanted an authoritarian and strong regime
(similar to the previous situation before the war)
Who --- Mainly composed by ex-soldiers who
did not accept the end of the war. They were
organized in the Freikorps.
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
20. Right-wing extremist. The Kapp Putsch
1920
Kapp was a general and he tried to
take over the power with 5,000
Freikorps
The government asked for the aid of
the workers and they reacted with a
general strike
Kapp left the country and the
rebellion failed
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
21. 1923. A key year
The situation was quite unstable the first years of the Republic of Weimar, but 1923
will be a special year for several crisis:
- The Ruhr Crisis
- The Munich Putsch
- Hyperinflation
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
22. The Munich Putsch (Beer Hall Putsch)
An unknown Adolf Hitler tried to take the
control of the country in a rebellion in Munich
Nazi Party was not very popular at that
moment (less than 3% of votes) so he failed
(He was able to control a brewery)
He went to prison (11 months) when he wrote
Mein Kampf with the main ideas of the Nazis
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
23. Ruhr crisis
Previous situation
German solution
Hyperinflation
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
24. Previous situation
The reparations commission had
determined that Germany should pay
132 billion gold marks in 42 years
to the Allied powers
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
25. Situation
The French were anxious to enforce
the reparations for two reasons:
- They hated Germans
- They needed the money to pay the
American loans
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
26. Ruhr crisis
Germans had problems to pay the demanded
amount of money, so the French decided to take a
hard line approach to Germany: the best way to
make Germany pay was …
MAKING USE OF THE FORCE ---- French and
Belgium troops invaded the Ruhr (the industrial area
of Germany) to “receive” the payment
What would you do if you were a German worker?
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
27. Ruhr crisis
As Germany had almost no army
(Treaty of Versailles) France took the
outputs of the factories and mines of
the Ruhr, and shipping them to its
territory.
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
28. Ruhr crisis
What was the German reaction?
German workers refused to
cooperate
Sabotage (Flooding of mines,
burning factories, destruction of
railroads, etc.)
French fought against that. They had
the complete control of this area!
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
31. Ruhr crisis
What was the German reaction?
The Government supported the workers in their strike and sabotage actions. How?
It printed money to pay them. PROBLEM --- The value of the money decreased because
it was an artificial measure ---- HYPERINFLATION
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
34. Consequences of the Hyperinflation
The middle class lost its economic
power (the money they saved) so
they became:
- Cynical to democracy
- More interested in extremist
ideologies (Nazis tried to seize the
power in 1923)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
35. So, the Weimar Republic was in a serious
trouble
Hyperinflation and bad economic situation
Challenged by the Left and Right extremist
Without a clear answer to the problems of the country
So… in this difficult situation, a new president (Stresseman) took the power after the first
years of Ebert.
Would he be able to change the situation?
YES, the Golden Years (1923 – 1929)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
36. The Golden Years (1923 – 1929)
After an initial crisis, the Weimar Republic was able to overcome most of the
problems in the period from 1923 to 1929 (the Golden Years)
The key figure of this period was Gustave Stresseman (the Minister of Foreign
Affairs)
Germany got important achievements in:
- The economy
- Culture
- Politics
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
37. Economy
He found a solution to solve the problem of Hyperinflation
First, he created a new currency
If Germany was in bad situation, the world would be in a bad
situation (because of the reparations) so …
Dawes Plan:
- Reparations payments were spread over a longer period
- The USA gave loans to Germany
- Germany spent the money in infrastructure and
modernization of old equipment (good investments) so the
quality of life increased (better salaries) --- The economic
situation improved so G. could pay the reparations.
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
40. … but
The German economy was
completely dependent on American
loans, so …
The unemployment began to raise at
the end of the Golden Years (social
unrest)
Peasants and small business were not
especially benefited by Weimar
policies
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
41. Culture
During the Kaiser´s time --- Dictatorship and
censorship
Weimar Republic brought the freedom of
speech --- Cultural Renaissance
George Grosz and Bauhaus design
The cinema industry was the most important
in Europe (F.Lang and M.Dietrich)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
44. Fritz Lang. Metropolis
The first science fiction movie!!Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
45. But …
The rural Germany saw the new
culture as a symbol of decadency
Wandervogel movement: Return to
the countryside values (kind of Boy
scouts)
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
46. Politics
The extremist (left and right wing)
were weaker during this period
(Nazis got 5% of the vote, and
Communist did not go further than
15% of the vote)
A GrossKoalition was formed with all
democratic parties, so the
government was strong
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
47. … but
Extremist parties were not banned,
even if they were against democracy
---- They could establish an
organization for the future
People started to accept extremist
parties as part of the system
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
48. Foreign policy
Stressman reached the Locarno Treaties
(1925) where:
- Germany recognized the Western borders after
the war
- The Eastern borders were not defined (Why was
this a problem for the future?)
- Germany was accepted in the League of Nations
- Young Plan (1929): Less reparations for
Germany and the foreign troops left Germany
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
50. But…
Of course, these agreements were
criticized by the right-wing and left-
wing extremist:
For the right-wing extremist, the
agreements were a recognition of the
Versailles Treaties
For the left-wing extremist, the
agreements were seen as an
approach to the capitalist countries
Samuel Perrino Martínez. ISU. Republic of Weimar (1919 - 1929)
