Question

What turned the people against the Weimar Republic?

• A. The crippling financial debt
• B. Effective democratic rule
• C. Sense of Militarism
• D. Weak leadership

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Weak leadership

Militarism took a front seat post First World War Europe. War propaganda and feelings of nationalism drew support for conservative military dictatorships and made the idea of democracy look weak and inefficient. Many German citizens protested against the Weimar Republic and attributed the crippling financial debt of the war reparations to their weak leadership. The Spartacists held huge rallies protesting against the supposedly ineffective democratic rule.
