Open in App
Solution

  • First World War created instabilities in many parts of Europe
  • Democracy could not survive and was shattered during this period
  • The rise of Weimar Republic with the revolutionary uprising of Bolsheviks in Russia
  • Political atmosphere of Berlin was criticized for Soviet (socialist) style of governance
  • Those who opposed this formed a group or association called democratic republic
  • People who formed this group are socialists, democrats and Catholics
  • But, this group was crushed by Weimar Republic
  • This enraged the Spartacists league who later founded the Communist party
  • Henceforth, Communists and Socialists became irreconcilable enemies
  • Both revolutionaries and militant nationalists longed for solutions based on radicalism
