2 THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC The Weimar Republic provides a comprehensive introduction to Germany in the aftermath of the First World War. Exploring themes including the formation of the Republic, the impact of the Treaty of Versailles and the Republic s problems and achievements, it is an invaluable study guide. This second edition includes two new chapters: the first looks at the Chancellors and Presidents of the Republic, the second assesses the career of Gustav Stresemann. It also contains a timeline and updated analysis to enhance readers understanding of events and controversies. Integrating historical interpretation, exam-style questions, and evaluation of sources, this book provides students with a clear understanding and a foundation for examination success. Stephen J. Lee is the former Head of History at Bromsgrove School. He has published over twenty books, including European Dictatorships and, in this series, Hitler and Nazi Germany and Imperial Germany. The Questions and Analysis in History Series provides short texts on central historical issues. Each book is structured to provide: Clear and concise background information A discussion of key issues Examples of documentary material with related questions Sample worked answers Guidance on using sources and on further reading.

16 SERIES PREFACE The Questions and Analysis series has two main aims. The first is to separate narrative from interpretation so that the latter is no longer diluted by the former. Each chapter starts with a background narrative section containing essential information. This material is then used in a section focusing on analysis through a specific question. The main purpose of this is to help to tighten up essay technique. The second aim is to provide a comprehensive range of sources for each of the issues covered. The questions are of the type which appear on examination papers, and some have worked answers to demonstrate the techniques required. The chapters may be approached in different ways. The background narratives can be read first to provide an overall perspective, followed by the analyses and then the sources. The alternative method is to work through all the components of each chapter before going on to the next. SERIES PREFACE xv

18 INTRODUCTION This title, The Weimar Republic, was first published in 1998 as the first contribution to the Questions and Analysis series. The total number of volumes now stands at 23, covering themes in Modern and Early Modern History. Numerous changes have taken place in the structure of examination questions and it is no longer possible to replicate these precisely: the focus in this volume is therefore more on the style of question rather than on the precise wording or mark allocation. The later volumes have also included a significant increase in the study of historiography, intended for students both at A2 and in higher education. This I have tried to reflect through a more extensive inclusion of historical debates covering all aspects of the Weimar Republic. Finally, I have updated a number of specific interpretations and have allowed more space for the treatment of individuals; this applies especially to Ebert, Stresemann, Hindenburg and Brüning but I have also included something on each and every Chancellor of the Republic. These additions explain why this second edition is substantially longer than the first. INTRODUCTION xvii

22 1 THE GERMAN REVOLUTION, BACKGROUND Germany was taken into the First World War in August 1914 by a civilian government under Bethmann Hollweg, the fifth Chancellor of the Second Reich. By July 1917 his regime had been converted into a military dictatorship under Field Marshals Ludendorff and Hindenburg. This, however, made little difference to Germany s prospects in the War. Despite defeating Russia in the East, the Reich faced imminent collapse in the West by October The decisive factors were the entry of the United States into the war and a crippling blockade imposed by the Royal Navy. Ludendorff therefore advised Kaiser Wilhelm II to appoint a civilian government to negotiate an armistice with the Allies. Prince Max of Baden was entrusted with this unenviable task on 26 October. He was supported by the Social Democrats (SPD), who since 1912 had been the largest party in the Reichstag, but opposed by the more radical Independent Socialists (USPD) and Spartacists, who had broken away from the SPD during the course of the war. The situation then deteriorated rapidly as the armed forces began to disintegrate. The result was a series of military and naval mutinies. The Kaiser was persuaded to abdicate on 9 November. On the same day, Prince Max of Baden handed over the reins of government to Friedrich Ebert, who succeeded him as Chancellor, while the latter s SPD colleague, Philipp Scheidemann, proclaimed Germany a Republic. At this stage the SPD were obliged to share power with the radicals the USPD and Spartacists in a Council of People s Representatives. It THE GERMAN REVOLUTION 1
