Germany 1890-1945: Political Changes and Unrest In The Weimar Republic 💥 GCSE History Learning & Revision

In this episode, we’ll discuss the political instability faced by the Weimar Republic from both left-wing and right-wing factions. Key challenges included the Spartacist Uprising, a communist revolt, and the Kapp Putsch, a Freikorps rebellion against democracy. The Munich Putsch, led by Hitler and Ludendorff, sought to exploit the Republic's weaknesses during an economic crisis. Although it failed, Hitler used his trial to spread Nazi ideology and outline his goals in Mein Kampf. This failure prompted a shift towards a more organized approach for the Nazi party. We’ll explore the precariousness of the Weimar Republic amidst extremist challenges and the rise of Nazism.Don't miss out on subscribing for more educational content tailored to help you succeed in your exams.
