summary
The Weimar Republic was a period of time after World War I that replaced the Imperial form of government. The Weimar Republic was a short era of peace between the Germans and Europe. Some of this was because of the effects of the Treaty of Versailles, which had reduced the power of Germany. The Weimar Republic technically lasted from 1918 until 1945, but most people believe that its power ended in 1933 when Hitler took over the country. In its short period of time, Germany went through many problems, the largest ones being hyperinflation, an enormous economic inflation that caused the German currency's value to soar.
