A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC - COLIN ...

It is impossible to understand the history of modern Europe without some knowledge of the
Weimar Republic. The brief fourteen-year period of democracy between the Treaty of Versailles
and the advent of the Third Reich was marked by unstable government  economic crisis and
hyperinflation and the rise of extremist political movements. At the same time  however  a
vibrant cultural scene flourished  which continues to influence the international art world
through the aesthetics of Expressionism and the Bauhaus movement. In the fields of art 
literature  theatre  cinema  music and architecture - not to mention science - Germany became a
world leader during the 1920s  while her perilous political and economic position ensured that
no US or European statesman could afford to ignore her. Incorporating original research and a
synthesis of the existing historiography  this revised edition will provide students and a
general readership with a clear and concise introduction to the history of the first German
Republic.
