The Weimar Republic was set up after the loss of WW1 and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles
The Kapp Putsch was a right-wing revolt against the Weimar government in 1920
Germany could not afford to pay the reparations set out in the Treaty of Versailles, leading to the French invasion of the Ruhr in 1923
The invasion of the Ruhr and the resulting hyperinflation in 1923 showed the weakness of the Weimar government and led people to turn to extreme political parties
Hyperinflation in 1923 caused massive price rises, with wages not keeping up, leading to the middle class being impoverished
The Spartacist Uprising in 1919 was a failed communist revolution led by the Spartacists, which scared the Weimar government
The Kapp Putsch in 1920 was a right-wing revolt against the Weimar government, which was ultimately defeated by a general strike
The invasion of the Ruhr in 1923 and the resulting hyperinflation further weakened the Weimar government and led to the rise of extreme political parties
