why did the weimar republic survive the years of crisis between 1919- 1923?

Answer 1

To actually ANSWER the question, the Weimar Republic survived those early years because no one radical movement had enough centralized power to overcome the 100,000 man army of the Republic. Had they been able to then the end of the Republic would have come much sooner than Hitler's final rise to power.

For a very detailed description of these events please refer to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. Shirer was a journalist based in Germany throughout the reign of the Third Reich. Very good book.

Answer 2

Basically, because neither the left nor the right had enough power to stop it from surviving. They both tried very hard, with the Spartacist revolution in 1918 coming close to success, the Marxist revolution in Bavaria in 1918 succeeding for a time, the Kapp Putsch in 1920, the continuing uprisings or near revolts between 1921 and 1923, and of course Hitler's Munich Putsch in 1923, but none enjoyed sufficient popular support. The two that came closest to success were the Spartacists and the Kapp Putsch (the first a left and the second a right-wing attempt to take over the country).

I recommend my book, 'Adolf Hitler: A Portrait,' published by Spellmount in July 2006 and named historical biography of the month in August this year.

Munich is a huge town with: restaurant, nightlife and accommodation results, with hotelbye , you could have a look. Munich may be the capital city of Bavaria and the third-most populous city in Germany. For centuries the seat of the Dukes, Electors, and Kings of Bavaria, the Munich Residenz is undoubtedly among Europe's most spectacular palaces. Organized around eight big courts, the vast resident complex comprises three main sections: the Königsbau, fronting into Max-Joseph-Platz; the Alte Residenz, experiencing Residenzstrasse; and the Festsaalbau (Banqueting Hall) overlooking the Hofgarten. The very first section with this large complicated to be created was the spectacular Antiquarium, built in 1579 and now area of the outstanding Residenz Museum. Munich is a town with lots of history, be sure to investigate it whole.

Answer 4

Unlike the period of time from 1929-1933, Weimar's 'years of collapse, there was no viable alternative to the government. Those who tried i.e. Hitler (Munich Putsch), Kapp (Kapp Putsch), the Spartacists Revolt, failed because they did not have a sufficient power base. They were all extremists and the german People at the time did not want extremes.

Answer 5

The Weimar Republic (1919-1933) was the popular name for the republic of Germany created after World War 1. It was named after the city of Weimar where the constitution was drawn up in 1919. It was hampered by severe economic difficulties. The Weimar constitution was suspended after Adolf Hitler became chancellor and the republic was superceded by the Third Reich.

Answer 6

They used the Stahlhelm to put down up risings although the Kapp putsch failed due to a general strike and the subsequent withdrawal of support by the army. Check out http://www.berlin-explored.com
