Fourth Factor: Weakness of the Weimar Government

   Introduction to the Weimar Government

      The Weimar Government was never popular with the Germans as it was set up by the Allies after the World War 1 so not many of them helped to support or maintain it and they were also not committed. Many Germans also hated them as the TOV  was seen as a harsh and unjust treaty by the Germans and they blamed the Weimar politician responsible for their treatment so some hated them.                                                                                                                                                                                     

      Proportional Representation     

       The Germans voted for parties rather then candidates so there were no party gaining majority as there were too many small parties competing therefore, it was a fair system but resulting in a weak government so they were seen as weak by the Germans                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                                   

      Coalition Government                                                                                                                            Parties formed a coalition government but they each have many ideas and were not compromising so leading to frequent change in government. Therefore, it was difficult to pass laws. The proportional representation allowed a lot of small Parties into it so it was difficult to find a majority Party within the parliament as there were many Parties in the group with different opinion thus, they was seen as weak by the Germans.

      Opposition From The Right And Left Wings

      The Weimar Government was also targeted by the left wings and right wings group then to overthrow it, and also rioted in the streets of Berlin so there were chaos in Germany because of that. The Left and Right wings both have different aims and how they want the government to rule the country. The Right and Left-wing extremist uses violent to gain power and the Left-Wing extremist opposes to democracy but the Right-Wing extremist wanted the government to gain full power to control the country and wanted Germany to be strong again . As a result, there were chaos in the city such as rebellion to overthrow the government

      

      Weak Support

      The Weimar Government also lacked support as right-wing extremist wanted to overthrow the government so many Germans were mostly influenced by advisers thus, lacking supports from the Germans. Without support, the Weimar Government remained weak and struggle to gain power and authority

      How Did The Great Depression And Weakness Of The Weimar Government Helped Hitler To Rise To Power?

     During the Great Depression, the Weimar Government was not able to deal with the problems in Germany thus, allowing Hitler to be in a ideal position to rise to power. Due to the Great Depression, People turned to Hitler for help due to the Depression and the failure of the Weimar Republic to cope with the ongoing problems in Germany so Hitler was able to benefit  because of the failure of Weimar Republic and many people think highly of him because of that
