Germany: Development Of Dictatorship, 1918-45

Resumen

In 1928 the Nazi Party won 2.6 per cent of the vote and twelve seats in the Reichstag. Five years later its leader was Chancellor of Germany and every other party had been banned. Explaining that collapse of a democracy, without either excusing the people who carried it out or pretending it was inevitable, is one of the most demanding tasks in this specification.

This note traces the Weimar Republic from its birth in defeat through hyperinflation, recovery under Stresemann and the shock of the Depression, then examines how the Nazi regime took and held power, how it controlled and persecuted, and how Germans resisted. The material is grim in places; it is set out plainly because precision is the respectful way to handle it.

Nota de la lección

The German Republic was proclaimed on 9 November 1918, two days before the armistice that ended the First World War. Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and fled to the Netherlands, and a provisional government under the Social Democrat Friedrich Ebert took over a country facing naval mutiny, workers' and soldiers' councils in many cities, and a blockade that had left the civilian population seriously undernourished. The Republic therefore began by signing an armistice it had not caused, which handed its enemies a slogan: the stab in the back myth, the false claim that the German army had been undefeated in the field and was betrayed by politicians at home. It was untrue, since the army high command had itself told the Kaiser in late September 1918 that the war was lost, but it was believed.
