Overview

Interwar Germany: The Rise and Fall of Weimar and the Rise of Hitler
"Between World War One and Two, Germany experienced several changes in government: from an emperor to a democracy to the rise of a new dictator, a Führer. " (Wilde, 2019)
The Treaty of Versailles: an overview
"Signed on June 28, 1919, as an end to the First World War, The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to ensure a lasting peace by punishing Germany and setting up a League of Nations to solve diplomatic problems. Instead, it left a legacy of political and geographical difficulties that have often been blamed, sometimes solely, for starting the Second World War." (Wilde, 2019)

Germany 1919-1939: Online resources

German and Italian art between the wars. New movements in the Weimar Republic sought to bring art and design in line with modern life. This section of the Smarthistory web portal includes information on art movements and genres, as well as artists working in both Weimar and Nazi Germany.

The Weimar Republic: The Fragility of Democracy
"Students study the key events and figures of the highly creative Weimar period and discuss why it did not last. In the process, they will reflect on the challenges that face a democracy and the impact that individual choices have on a society as a whole." (Facing history and ourselves, n.d.)
