The Weimar Republic was born out of Germany's defeat in the First
World War and ended with the coming to power of Hitler and his Nazi
Party in 1933. In many ways, it is a wonder that Weimar lasted as
long as it did. Besieged from the outset by hostile forces, the
young republic was threatened by revolution from the left and coups
d'etats from the right. Plagued early on by a wave of high-profile
political assassinations and a period of devastating
hyper-inflation, its later years were dominated by the onset of the
Great Depression. And yet, for a period from the mid-1920s it
looked as if the Weimar system would not only survive but even
flourish, with the return of economic stability and the gradual
reintegration of the country into the international community.
With contributions from an international team of ten experts, this
volume in the Short Oxford History of Germany series offers an
ideal introduction to Weimar Germany, challenging the reader to
rethink preconceived ideas of the republic and throwing new light
on important areas, such as military ideas for reshaping society
after the First World War, constitutional and social reform, Jewish
life, gender, and culture."
