After World War I in 1918, Germany was a nation with political and social problems. German politicians had signed a document on November 11, 1918, which made Germany a republic, a form of Democracy. This upset many of the communists and socialists and in January 1919, many were rounded up and murdered in Berlin and Munich by German soldiers.

With Germany’s new government, it allowed the Generals to maintain rank and privilege in return for the government’s support of the young Republic and opposition toward Marxism.

On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. This meant that Germany was forced to take the blame for causing the war and had to pay for all the war damages; as well as give up some land to France and Poland and was also forbidden to have any submarines or military aircraft.

This upset many Germans who felt humiliated in front of the whole world for their defeat.
