Why did the Weimar Republic fail? :: World War II History

Why did the Weimar republic fail?After World War One ended and Germany was defeated, they returned to their uncouth with heavy losses, a 6.6 trillion pound reparation cost and a feeling of being let down. The country suffered huge economical losses and the country fell into poverty and starvation. whatever government ruling a country like this already would have a very hard time keeping alive. At this point the urgency Weimar Republic constitution was adopted by three parties, the Social Democratic Party, the Catholic Center and the German Democratic Party, in early 1919 they won 76 percent of the vote and began to govern Germany. The Weimar Republic was modelled around the imperial constitution and was written in Weimar. People had to blame someone and they blamed the republic for everything, for loosing the war, to the smear they were in now. One of the main reasons the Weimar republic fell from power was the treaty of Versailles, the German people thought all the bad things th at had happened to them and their country were a resultant role of it. In addition to this there were parties from the left and right challenging them. A bi product of the treaty of Versailles was the huge economic lose in their country this gave the German people more reason to blame and loathe the Weimar republic. The third and final main reason was Hitlers raise to power, he offered the countries people freedom from the Weimar draw rein and they gradually accepted it. After world war one ended and the treaty of Versailles was signed, German troops returned home feeling angry. They felt that there was no need to call an end to the war, as it didnt seem as though they had the lower hand and Germany had not been invaded. They were bitter because they couldnt fight on and knew it had all been for zilch and they hadnt gained anything. In fact they lost a lot during the peace conference they were forced to, most importantly redefine their Western borders and give over a lot of land (13%), pay for damages amounting to $33 billion us dollars, hugely diminish their army and navy and destroy their air-force, donate some of their coal mines (26%) to France as compensation for destroying theirs and accept full responsibility for the war. The German people found the treaty hugely unfair and unjust.
