The term Weimar Republic (German: Weimarer Republik [ˈvaɪmaʁɐ ʁepuˈbliːk]) is a name used to describe the nation state which existed between 1919 and 1933 as a successor to the German Empire. The name derives from the city of Weimar, where its constitutional assembly first took place, although the official name of the state was the German Reich (Deutsches Reich), continuing the name from the pre-1918 Imperial period.
The republic was a semi-presidential representative democracy, and emerged in the aftermath of the German Revolution of 1918–19. A national assembly was convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, and adopted on 11 August 1919. In its fourteen years, the Weimar Republic faced numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremists (with paramilitaries – both left and right wing) and contentious relationships with the victors of the First World War. The Weimar Republic successfully reformed the currency, and unified tax policies and the railway system. Germany eliminated most of the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles and never completely met its disarmament requirements, and eventually only paid a small portion of the war reparations by twice restructuring its debt through the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan. Under the Locarno Treaties, the western borders of the republic were accepted by Germany, but the Eastern border remained debatable for the Weimar German governments.

Your support on Patreon would be greatly appreciated by my family and I https://www.patreon.com/Odinrok The Weimar Republic was a key era in the planned destruction of German self determination. This degradation and humiliation of a once proud country is detailed in this CBC documentary, but in an almost positive light that all but ignores the homogenous nature of the main players in this vicious and hateful social engineering program. There are countries that have been targeted for long term Cultural sorcery for their refusal to submit : Ireland, Vietnam and southeast Asia in general, Russia, Germany and others. The massive genocide and denigration of these areas over centuries is almost never told in our major media while we are inundated with the the fantasy stories of persecution ...

First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417-1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city was divided; East Berlin became the capital of East Germany while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989). Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany, hosting 158 foreign embassies. (Wikipedia)
