    Germany experienced widespread unrest from 1919 to 1923 as people were poor and starving after World War 1. The Treaty of Versailles exacerbated economic issues and led to riots. Both the extreme left and right rebelled against the government, with the right assassinating a Jewish minister and anti-Semitic sentiments rising. As Germany could no longer pay reparations, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr region, fueling fury in Germany and hyperinflation that destroyed the currency, weakening the Weimar Republic.

    Notes

    ● There was widespread discontent in Germany from 1919 to 1923. People were poor
    and starving.
    ● Some Germans blamed the communists and Jews for losing the war.
    ● The Treaty of Versailles made living conditions worse and there were riots and
    rebellions.
    ● Hitler was a right-wing supporter.
    ● The extreme left wanted a revolution. They were communists and the SPD.
    ● The right also rebelled against the government. They wanted a new right-wing
    government.
    ● The right also assassinated the foreign Minister who was Jewish.
    ● Anti-semetic [ anti-Jewish ] feelings increased.
    ● In 1923, Germany couldn’t pay the reparation payments anymore [ the Treaty of
    Versailles ].
    ● So, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr [ the richest industrial part of Germany ]
    instead, giving them access to Germany’s iron and coal reserves. The occupation led
    to fury in Germany which caused a huge strike in the Ruhr.
    ● Germany then printed more money to try to solve the debt problem, which caused
    hyperinflation.
    ● Germany’s currency became worthless.
    ● The Weimar republic were blamed.
