The Weimar Republic (1919 - 1933)
After the first general elections for the Reichstag in a democratic Germany, the largest party became: the Social Democrats (SDP, = like our PvdA), followed by the Liberals (= like our VVD) and the Catholics (= like our CDA).

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

The Weimar Republic (1919 - 1933)
These parties all embrace freedom and democracy. That is why we say that they belong to the political center.

  • There were also political parties that hated democracy, for example:

  • communists (who wanted a country like the Soviet Union)
  • nationalists (who wanted Germany to be a strong empire again)

  • These undemocratic groups we call extremists.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

1923: the Nazis try to seize power in Munich by force.
This is called a Putsch or Coup (staatsgreep)

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Why a Putsch in 1923 ?

  • In 1922, Mussolini successfully seized power in Italy. Hitler was inspired by this.

  • In 1923, Germany suffered from a hyper inflation, causing millions of Germans to lose all their money. 
    Hitler believed that the                German people were now            so desperate that they                  would support him

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Germany was forced to pay 132 billion goldmarks to the Allies

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Causes and effects of the Hyperinflation of 1923

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

When Germany could not pay, the French occupied the Ruhr area to take resources as payment.

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

German miners went on strike. 
The Weimar government promised to pay their wages.

Slide 19 - Tekstslide

To keep paying the wages the government printed extra money.
Result: the value of the money decreased, causing inflation

Slide 20 - Tekstslide

In months the inflation spiralled out of control: hyper-inflation.
Money was worthless. People lost all their savings.
