Weimar Republic

A period in the history of Germany where from 1919 to 1933; the nation saw a short transition to a parliamentary democracy.

Born out of the ashes of the German Revolution, it oversaw:
-The mass inflation of the Deutsche Mark.
-Numerous attempted communist revolutions.
-Allied transgressions.
-The Roaring Twenties.
-The Great Depression, which would be partially responsible for the fall of the Weimar Republic and the creation of Nazi Germany.
