History of Germany: 1918-1939

            The German people throughout 1923-1934 had experienced a complete disillusionment and loss of faith in their democratic Weimar Government, which ultimately lead to them believing in a system that was promising to restore Germany to the strong and proud country that it was before the devastating effects of World War 1 – the system of Adolf Hitler and the NSDA Party. This together with the massive problems that the 1929 Great Depression created were the key factors contributing to Hitler's success throughout the period. Many historians would argue that the Great Depression was solely responsible for the increasing support of the NSDAP and the defining factor for Hitler's success. However, while taking these arguments into consideration it is fundamental to recognise the additional contributing factors including the disaster of the Weimar Government, Hitler's ultimate ideology, and the years of 1933-34 where Hitler managed to manipulate his way to absolute power, resulting in the creation of the complete Nazification of Germany. .
             While historian J. Llewellyn argues in her online blog that Hitler's success created the downfall of the Weimar Government, others may disagree, stating that the failure of the democracy ultimately lead to the succession of Hitler. The Government on its own was failing without any external pressure from Hitler and the Nazi Party, purely based on the harsh and unsympathetic terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which were released in June 1919. The treaty terms themselves sent Germany into a state of complete panic and outrage. Being forced to accept the blame for the war as a whole (clause 231 – the War Guilt Clause), which in turn provided a justification for the allied forces to put in place the requirement that £6.6 billion in reparations need to be paid to them as a payment for all war damages. Germany was unable to comprehend such a figure and was incapable of producing this sum by the deadlines.
