The '''Weimar Republic''' ({{lang-de|Weimarer Republik}} {{IPA-de|ˈvaɪmaʁɐ ʁepuˈbliːk||De-WeimarRepublic.ogg}}) is an unoffeecial, historical designation for the [[Germany|German state]] as it exeestit atween 1919 an 1933. The name derives frae the ceety o [[Weimar]], whaur its [[Constituent assemmbly|constitutional assemmly]] first teuk place. The offeecial name o the state remeened ''[[Deutsches Reich]]'', unchynged syne 1871.

A [[Weimar Naitional Assemmly|naitional assemmly]] wis convened in Weimar, whaur [[Weimar constitution|a new constitution]] for the ''Deutsches Reich'' wis written an adoptit on 11 August 1919. In its fowerteen years, the Weimar Republic faced numerous problems, includin [[Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic|hyperinflation]], poleetical extremism (wi [[Weimar paramilitar groups|paramilitaries]] – baith left- an richt-weeng) as well as contentious relationships wi [[Allies o Warld War I|the veectors]] o the [[Warld War I|First Warld War]]. The fowk o Germany fautit the Weimar Republic raither nor thair wartime leaders for the kintra's defeat an for the humiliatin terms o the [[Treaty o Versailles]]. Weimar Germany fulfilled maist o the requirements o the Treaty o Versailles awtho it niver completely met its disairmament requirements an eventually peyed anly a smaw portion o the war reparations (bi twice restructurin its det throu the [[Dawes Plan]] an the [[Young Plan]]).<ref>Marks, Sally, ''The Illusion of Peace: International Relations in Europe, 1918–1933'', St. Martin's, NY, 1976, pp.96–105.</ref> Unner the [[Locarno Treaties]], Germany acceptit the wastren mairches o the republic, but conteena'd tae dispute the eastren mairches.

Frae 1930 onwart [[Paul von Hindenburg|Preses Hindenburg]] uised [[Airticle 48 (Weimar Constitution)|emergency pouers]] tae back Chancellors [[Heinrich Brüning]], [[Franz von Papen]] an General [[Kurt von Schleicher]]. The [[Great Depression]], exacerbatit bu Brüning's policy o deflation, led tae a surge in unemployment.<ref name="Ursula Buettner 424">Büttner, Ursula ''Weimar: die überforderte Republik'', Klett-Cotta, 2008, {{ISBN|978-3-608-94308-5}}, p. 424</ref> In 1933, Hindenburg appyntit [[Adolf Hitler]] as Chancellor wi the [[Nazi Pairty]] bein pairt o a coaleetion govrenment. The Nazis held twa oot o the remeening ten cabinet seats. Von Papen as Vice Chancellor wis intendit tae be the "''[[éminence grise]]''" that wad keep Hitler unner control, uisin his close personal connection tae Hindenburg. Within months, the [[Reichstag Fire Decree]] an the [[Enabling Act o 1933]] haed brocht aboot a state o emergency: it wiped oot constitutional govrenance an ceevil leeberties. Hitler's seizur o pouer (''[[Machtergreifung]]'') wis permissive o govrenment bi decree withoot legislative pairteecipation. Thir events brocht the republic tae an end—as democracy collapsed, the foondin o a single-party state begoud the [[Nazi Germany|Nazi era]].
