How was the Weimar Republic formed (in points)
Dear Student,
The Weimar Republic was formed in the following ways:
-
The public sentiments turned against the government in Germany post 1918. The Kaiser, in desperation bid to hang onto power, appointed Prince max of Baden as Chancellor
-
In November, a revolution broke out, the kaiser escaped to Holland and abdicated, and prince Max resigned.
-
Friedrich Ebert, leader of the left wing Social Democrat party, completely democratic one ever to take place in Germany.
-
The Social Democratic emerged as largest single party and Ebert became the first President of the democratic republic.
Regards, -
By the end of 1919, a new constitution came into existence by the Assembly at Weimar, hence named as Weimar republic.
