The Weimer Republic faced enormous problems.

Explanation:

Large war time reparations and other Versailles Treaty limits. Communist Revolution. Staggering inflation. Active, but undeclared, warfare on their eastern border. Private armies. Independent Militia (Freikorps) financed by the Army. Right wing revolution. Rioting between left and right thugs in the streets. Unco-operative military. By using the Army to quell a revolution Ebert the 1st Chancellor aliened his own supporters. In the end no one thought much of the Wiemar Republic.
