During the 1920s, Germany's Weimar Republic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Weimar Republic suffered from uprisings by both leftist (such as the Spartacist Uprising in 1919) and right-wing (such as the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923) groups, which contributed to the instability of the government. While the Weimar Republic had some notable politicians such as Gustav Stresemann, it did not possess outstanding politicians overall. It also struggled to enact major reforms due to the divided and contentious political climate. The leadership of powerful business cartels did not necessarily support the republic as a whole, but rather sought to protect their own interests.
