Industrialisation
in the past , Germany had experienced rapid industrialisation.
society was heavily agricultural. however , this all changed with the introduction to the modern industry in manufacturing as seen through the new electrical products - siemens and AEG , chemical and motor construction as seen through the Karl Benz and gottlieb Delmer.
By 1900 , Germany had the largest industrial economy in Europe.
In 1910 , 60% of all Germans lived in cities; the population of berlin doubled and other cities like Munich and Essen grew rapidly,
This culminated to 48 cities German towns having a population greater than 100,000 whilst in 1871 , there were only 8.
Social reforms
The social insurance system and health care , accidents and disabilities and told age had been introduced by bismark.
The SPD worked to pass further social reforms that were designed to improve the working conditions of the working class such as the social law which banned Sunday working and children under 13 from working.
All the social reforms were met by opposition with the Yunker and industrialists who wanted to limit the influence of the socialists and to introduce modest reforms to keep workers happy and loyal.
The growth of socialism
By 1910 , there were only 10,86 million industial workers in Germany , making them the largest group in German society.
This gave the workers a large hold on the polls and so , they were able to influence the vote. This is true as they largely supported the growing SPD.
the party grew to be the largest party in 1912 and the rise in the support of the SPD troubled the Kaiser who introduced new reforms to reduce the support the SPD had. This culminated in the passing of the anti communist laws in 1890.
The naval laws.
By 1989 , Germany massively began to expand its navy. This was a key part of their policy known as Weltpolitik.
The policy was designed to turn Germany into a world superpower by building up its oversea empire , growing in world trade and increasing its naval power.
The naval laws were intended to help Germany find its place in the sun , and to rival the naval might of Great Britain.
Revolts
Spartacists
During the 5-12 of January 1919 , 50,000 members of a post war communist party , known as the separatists , rebelled in Berlin.
The government was saved by the ex-soldiers known as the freikorps , who defeated the Spartacist rebels.

The Kapp putsch

During the march of 1920 , they resulted and took over berlin. Kapp wanted to be loosed form the TOV.
