The Rise of the Weimar Republic and the Rise of Nationalism in Post-WWI Germany

Established in 1919 to replace the imperial government, the Weimar Republic faced significant challenges, including severe hyperinflation and widespread dissatisfaction due to the Treaty of Versailles. This democracy often faced blame for Germany's woes, contributing to rising nationalism and resentment against other nations. Amid economic turmoil, Adolf Hitler emerged, leading the German Workers' Party (later the Nazi Party) and developing a massive nationalist movement. His imprisonment allowed him to pen "Mein Kampf," outlining his vision for Germany’s future.
