Weimar Republic and The Peace Terms 🕊
- Weimar Republic's Test: Secure favorable peace terms with the Allies.
- What Germany hoped for: A peace based on President Wilson's Fourteen Points.
- Reality Check
- Armistice was tough on Germany.
- Aim: Ensure Germany couldn't bounce back into a fight and keep it weakened for the long run.
- Terms included
- Leaving occupied territories like Alsace-Lorraine.
- Moving 10km away from the east of the Rhine.
- Giving up submarines, surface fleet, and air force.
- German People's Confusion: German army was welcomed home as heroes, but the defeat was puzzling. They were previously told they were close to victory! 🤔
Real-world Example 🌍
Imagine working on a team project and everyone tells you that your team is acing it. Then, suddenly, you get a C grade. Surprise, right?
The “Stabbed in the Back” Myth 🗡
- Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, top German commander, stated that the army was betrayed by politicians.
- By November 1918, the German army wasn't in great shape, but many believed in this "stabbed in the back" story.
- German Perception vs. Allies' Perception
- Germans: "We weren’t truly defeated."
- Allies: "Germany should accept the terms as the defeated nation."
