  • PART I.I Weimar Germany 1918-23: Creation and Crises D Was the Wei,Nar Republic Doo,Nedfro,N Its Very Beginnings?
    PART I.I Weimar Germany 1918-23: Creation and crises D Was the Wei,nar Republic doo,nedfro,n its very beginnings? CHAPTER OVERVIEW Although the Weimar Republic did not collapse until 1933, this chapter begins to investigate the causes of its collapse. One historical interpretation is that the Weimar Republic was doomed to fail from the beginning because of long-term weaknesses. These include a long-established anti-democratic tradition in Germany and the possibility that some of the politicians who created the Republic never meant it to succeed. They were powerful right-wing politicians and generals who hoped the Republic would take the blame for defeat in the First World War. You will need to decide whether you agree that these factors were so important that they undermined the new Republic from the very beginning. The second strand of investigation in this chapter is the constitution of the new Republic. Did it create a sound structure for post-war government or was the constitution another of the long-term causes of the Republic's downfall? Therefore, the subsections of this chapter are: A How strong were the roots of democracy in nineteenth-century Germany? (pp. 8-11) B The 'revolution from above': why was a democratic regime born out of Germany's defeat? (pp. 12-15) C The revolution from below: did the 1918 German Revolution provide a strong basis for democracy? (pp. 16-24) D Did the constitution of the Weimar Republic establish a sound structure for democracy in Germany? (pp. 25-30) E Review: Was the Weimar Republic doomed from its very beginnings? (pp.

Alexander McKenna Advisors: Dr. Carl Bon Tempo and Dr. Mitch Aso May 10, 2019 2 Abstract In 1933, the people Germany elected Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party into power. This occurred under what had previously been a liberal democracy, the Weimar Republic. In the months following this event, the Nazis passed legislation that transformed what was once a bastion of free thinking, into the totalitarian empire. This event sparked an ideological crisis for the liberal intellectuals of Germany, and proposed an urgent question to the world: how can you, if at all, safeguard democracy without compromising its principles? This thesis follows Arnold Brecht and Hans Speier, two liberal intellectuals who came to the United States following the rise of the Third Reich.

Why did these academics reject university life to accept positions in the foreign policy establishment? Why were so many of German origin? The Night Watchman answers these questions through a contextual biography of the German exile Hans Speier, a foreign policy expert who in the 1940s and 1950s consulted for the State Department and executive branch, and helped found the RAND Corporation, Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and the program in international communication at MIT's Center for International Studies.
