    There is far more to 1919-1939 Germany than it simply being a prelude to Hitler’s rise to power. As financial ruin, military defeat, and a humiliating treaty blew in gales, Germans pushed for a republican system of government, and a new constitution to lift them off their knees. It was a period of not only struggle as hyperinflation and reparations cut holes into longcoats, but also of steady recovery as the nation launched itself once more onto the world market, as well as creative ingenuity that would continue to shape our understanding of modernity. Watch the political obstacles that had faced the likes of Ebert and Stresemann, the devastating impact of the Great Depression, and the dramatic dissolution of the republic with all its vibrant cultural iconography.

      @@beyondobscure yes. Hitler was Europe's second fascist dictator. Mussolini was the first. Even though he was a staunch socialist in his youth, he eventually realized that socialism sucked and started the Italian fascist movement that would be the countries government for the next two decades. Mussolini ended up inspiring Hitler to take on a similar form and would be the early stages of what would become the second world war.

    The Weimar Republic, officially named the German Reich, was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the German Republic. The nation's informal name is derived from the city of Weimar, which hosted the constituent assembly that established its government. In English, the nation was usually simply called "Germany," with "Weimar Republic" not commonly used until the 1930s.

      The leader of the Weimar Republic was the Reichspräsident, elected directly. The first Reichspräsident was Friedrich Ebert. After his death, Hindenburg Was elected in 1925. Formally Hindenburg remained the head of state, even after Hitler became Reichskanzler (Reichskanzler = head of government). In 1933 he was the only man, wo had in theory (!) the constitutional power to stop Hitler. But Hindenburg died in 1934 and after his death Hitler took his position.

    As a German I feel offended that you call our most important naval base a small city and like to charge reparations of 20.000.000.000.000.000 Reichsmarks for that.
