Changes

The Weimar Republic was born out of war and revolution. The Republic faced many internal threats from Communists and right-wing extremists. It also had to manage an unprecedented economic crisis and a war-ravaged society. It was also left with the task of signing the unpopular Versailles Treaty. However, it was able to negotiate these and was even capable of bringing stability and some limited prosperity to Germany. The Great Depression was to prove fatal for the Republic. The Weimar political parties were unable to deal with the socio-political crisis caused by the Depression, and this led people to seek their salvation in Communism and Nazism, and this led to the death of the Republic, after only a 15-year existence. {{MediaWiki:AmNative}}
