Wiemar republic - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Their government is made up of multiple different parties which would result in the inability for the Government to make useful decisions in times of crisis. This would result in the government being presented as weak and unstable to the peoples eyes, which is worse as they had just been through a war.
    - - Within months, the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act of 1933 had brought about a state of emergency as it wiped out constitutional governance and civil liberties. Hitler's seizure of power (Machtergreifung) was permissive of government by decree without legislative participation. These events brought the republic to an end—as democracy collapsed, the founding of a single-party state began the dictatorship of the Nazi era.
  - - - Stresemann’s single greatest achievement as Chancellor was to end hyperinflation. He did this in just three months by:
        
        Promising to begin reparations payments again.
        This persuaded France and Belgium to end the occupation of the Ruhr by 1925.
        
        Introducing a new currency called the Rentenmark.
        This stabilised prices as only a limited number were printed meaning money rose in value. This helped to restore confidence in the German economy both internally and internationally.
        
        Reducing the amount of money the government spent (700,000 government employees lost their jobs) so that its budget deficit reduced.
        
        Calling off the ‘passive resistance’ of German workers in the Ruhr.
        This helped Germany’s economy because goods were back in production
        and the Government could stop printing money to pay striking workers.
