Politics German Government the German Term Paper

Because the Republic was weak, it was open to failure, and open to a takeover by a powerful group such as Hitler's Nazis. Basically, the failure of the Republic allowed Hitler to take control of the government, which ultimately led to World War II, the persecution of the Jews, the Holocaust, and millions of deaths. Thus, the fall of the Weimar Republic was extremely significant to world history, and it was because it was created as a weak Republic that it could fall so quickly and have so many weaknesses that Hitler and his party capitalized on. This shows a very diachronic relationship between the Army, the legislative branches, and the Chancellor, because they could not work together harmoniously, and so, they created friction that led to the failure of the Republic.A more synchronic relationship may have created more strength in the Republic, and led to a much different outcome for Europe.
