The rise and fall of the weimar republic

After the treaty of versaille the weimar republic was set up(its called this because the capital got moved to weimar). They signed the peace treaty, to end the war and thereby took on all of the requirements of it. Do note at the treaty of versaille Germany was NOT present(unlike the Conference of vienna, where France was at it). Additionally, the people had thought that the Weimar Republic had backstabbed the people in the back by signing onto the repressive treaty. Also, the elections were just a mess due to multiple people being able to run, and the majority getting to lead(so you can win without a majority!) In their time they allowed for extreme right-wing paramilitary groups to quell people down. In their fall, the Nazi's didnt get the majority of the votes but were able to seize control of the government and paint it as if they had won.(Some strategies Hitler used; perpetual campaigning- he would continue to campaign for the Nazi party even after the election season was over, unlike other parties; small venues- this allowed for the people who came to be stuffed in which made the room feel bigger) Hitler eventually just took complete control and created the third Reich.

Of course it could have been avoided. a great many scholars argue it happened because of truman's use of fear to gain support. his predecessor fdr was the most popular and charismatic president ever. truman was a machine politician chosen as the least offensive choice around for vp. had henry wallace remained vp and then president, the cold war might not have happened. or had dewey been defeated in the primaries by robert taft, and then taft defeated truman in 48, the cold war also might not have happened. taft was somewhat isolationist, opposing nato and the korean war. wallace believed truman to be unnecessarily provocative in his dealings with the soviets.of course for strong anti communists, they claim the soviets would see any sign of weakness and try to take over the world. but this is a conspiracy theory not backed by evidence. most communist movements were local and not controlled by moscow. stalin had just lost over 20 million people and was exhausted and paranoid. his number one fear was a rearmed germany allied with the us, and truman made his nightmare real with the marshall plan. truman's blunders are at least half responsible for the cold war and neither wallace nor taft would have made them.on top of that, stalin was dying and in poor health. his successor khrushchev was a reformer who ended the forced labor camps, set many political prisoners free, criticized stalin, and declined to build a powerful soviet navy to confront the us. stalin actually proposed a neutral united germany. a paranoid american gov't turned him down, guaranteeing a continued cold war for decades more.
