·         Difficulty of a Minor Government

The Weimar republic failed because for the first time they are not ruled by the emperor and the public can vote. Most of the people are Germans and used to be ruled by Emperor Wilhelm II. They separated from Germany because of the Treaty of Versailles.

So this is causing confusion and havoc among the public which is causing the country to collapse because there is no stable government. The president and the ministers do not know what to do about the system since this is all new.

Due to the government being chaotic, the public is also chaotic. The public is panicking and demanding the government to do something. The government is unable because they are also panicking. They were having a misunderstanding at that point.

·         Economical Problem

As we all know, money is the source of all things (exceptions include). Even in the war, money is used to hire soldiers, upgrade the weapons, build more advance machine, buy food, and feed the family, medical help and all that.

Therefore when one side of the war was lacking of money, it will ruin the other side. When the Weimar Republic was lacking of money, problems of much sort came from every single place.
