Question

weimar politics
politically, the weimar republic had many small political parties so it was nearly impossible to form a coalition.
the weimar republic was criticized by both conservatives and leftists. conservatives thought the weimar
republic was not protecting nationalist values and pride. leftists and communists demanded the revolutionary
changes that people believed possible in the wake of the russian communist revolution. major parties included
the:
social democratic party
(democratic - socialists, left leaning)
(catholic) center party
(centrists)
german national peoples party
(conservatives, right leaning)
but many smaller more extreme parties, such as the communist party on the far left and later the national
socialist* german workers (german acronym: nazi) party on the far right. with the increasing divisiveness in
weimar politics, more and more people turned to nationalism as a unifying solution.
*note: the nazi party was not a socialist organization. rather it used some of the revolutionary language of socialism to its advantage.
