SOURCE BASED QUESTION

Q31. Germany, a powerful empire in the early years of the twentieth
century, fought the First World War (1914-1918) alongside the Austrian
empire and against the Allies (England, France and Russia.)
All joined the war enthusiastically hoping to gain from a quick victory.
Little did they realise that the war would stretch on, eventually draining
Europe of all its resources. Germany made initial gains by occupying
France and Belgium. However the Allies, strengthened by the US entry in
1917, won, defeating Germany and the Central Powers in November 1918.
The defeat of Imperial Germany and the abdication of the emperor gave an
opportunity to parliamentary parties to recast German polity. A National
Assembly met at Weimar and established a democratic constitution with a
federal structure. Deputies were now elected to the German Parliament or
Reichstag, on the basis of equal and Universal votes cast by all adults
including women.
