The Weimar Republic was an important period in modern German history. It was born in the shadow of the defeat in World War I. Its founders tried to open up a new path for the German nation from the order of the old world. The German Revolution created Germany's first democratic constitution, but it failed to inject the spirit of democracy into the country. The elite's obsession with the past, the compromising political parties, the economy's major setbacks, and growing populism made it unsustainable for the young country - paving the way for the rise of the Nazi Party and the downfall of the republic. "The Rise and Fall of the Weimar Republic: 1918-1933" tells the history of the political forces within Germany from 1918 to 1933, as they struggled to survive in the face of internal and external troubles.
