You might want to check out a very recent book that focuses very much on this very aspect --the CULTURE of the Weimar Republic (set against the political background and economic crises) as it attempted to respond to "modernism", great technological changes, the "mass media", etc. *Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy* by Eric D. Weitz (Princeton University Press, 2007) |

Weimar Republic?
In my AP Euro book, it says
that the Social Democratic
Party and the Catholic Center
Party found the republic. Does
"the republic" mean the Weimar
Republic, or a party that is
against the Weimar Republic
(which practices democracy)?
[The section is supposed to be
describing the failure of the
democracy of German's Weimer
Republic.]

The treaty of Versailles was a way of punishing Germany and ensuring she would never be a threat again. With all the reparations the Germans had to pay, the loss of industrial areas to foriegn troops, and the loss of German land to neighboring countries, the treaty crushed the economy of the Weimar Republic. It strengthened Germany in ways the French and British never thought of. By not ending the war, the German soldiers returned to Germany as hero's, they did not believe they lost! The populus was starving, their money useless, unemployment sky high, and they were looking for revenge. This is what a young corporal named Adolf Hitler took advantage of and the rest is history..... |
