was it the Third Reich that ended the Weimar Republic?

Answer 1

The Weimar Republic ended with the rise of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor on January 30, 1933, and the passage of the Enabling Act on March 23 of that year.

Answer 2

i'm assuming this is for a history class right?

The third reich is hitler's regime, also known as the Nazi's. before hitler came o power the weimar republic controlled the country of Germany. Hindenburg was president at the time

Answer 3

Yes, essentially, although Hindenberg was pretty senile, the world economy was reeling from the Great Depression, and Weimar had to pay the equivalent of trillions of dollars to Britain and France for "reparrations" for WWI.
Weimar Germany suffered terribly from hyperinflation, a weak government, horrid (starvation level) economic conditions, and extreme political instability.
Hitler and his minions took advantage of these conditions to hijack the government from Hindenberg and an equally weak legislature.
Most Nazi referendums never got a majority vote in a plebiscite (later ones that passed were probably rigged and influenced by Nazi thuggery).
Anti-Semitism, however, was not an uncommon belief in Austria and Germany at the time, particularly in rural and depressed urban areas. (Vienna and Berlin were pretty wealthy and tolerant and Jews were fairly well integrated into Viennese and Berliner society).

Answer 4

Great answers here. To add on......had the National Socialist German Worker's Party ( NSDAP)....i.e. Nazis.....not gained control over the government it was inevitable that it would have fallen. There had already been several putsches that had failed previous to the one that landed Hitler in prison. Democratic, Communist, Socialist and independent demonstrations were abundant.....and violent. The restrictions, fines, and levies placed on Germany after WW1 along with the huge unemployment rate made the situation intolerable. The NAZI party stopped the street violence (all but theirs) restored some semblance of authority and gave people jobs, put food in their mouths, and hope for a better future. Too good to be true........

Answer 5

Yes it was.
