can u pls give me 5brief points on the promblems faced by weimer republic ?? reply fastttt

The Weimar repulbic was not recieved well by it's own people, largely because of the terms it was forced to accept after Germany's defeat after WWI. The peace treaty at Versailles with the Allies was a harsh and humiliating peace. Germany lost it's overseas colonies, a tenth of it's population, 13 % of it's territories, 75 % of it's iron and 26 % of it's coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania. The Allied Powers demilitarised Germany to weaken it's power. The War Guilt Clause held Germany responsible for the war and damages the Allied Countries suffered. Germany was forced to pay compensation amounting to 6 billion pounds. The Allied armies also occupied the resource-rich Rhineland for much of the 1920s. Many Germans held the new Weimar Republic responsible for not only the defeat in the war but the disgrace at Versailles.The Weimar constitution had some inherent defects, which made it unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship. One was proportional representation . This made achieving a majority by any one party a near impossible task, leading to a rule by coalitions. Another defect was Atricle 48, which gave the President powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree. Within it's short life, the Weimar Republic saw 20 different cabinets lasting by average 239 days, and a liberal use of Article 48. Yet, the crisis could not be managed. People lost confidence in the democratic parliamentary system, which seemed to offer no solutions.
