‘By the late 1920s the Weimar Republic was politically stable’
Assess the validity of this view
Structure = columns
AGREE - Republic was politically stable DISAGREE - Republic wasn’t politically stable

- Lesser turnover of Chancellors than - The Republic wasn’t supported by elites,
previously, especially during the industrialists, army, judges, civil service,
hyperinflation crisis. 1924-1928 = only 6 church leaders, teachers + newspaper
coalitions, with 3 different chancellors (much editors...they only tolerated to avoid
better), more continuity for the country = communism originally - if they all joined
more stability together they could launch a coup and
overturn the govt = Constant political threat
…. Not stable at all

- Moderate parties doing well, return to the
centre with parties eg. SPD, Centre, DDP
attracting most votes. Decline in support for - Nazi party membership did rise between
extremist parties eg. Nazi, KPD and DNVP = 1924 and 1928 from 27,000 to 108,000 so
more stablity because the mainstream there is still an appetite for change and
parties support the Republic getting rid of democracy, although 108,000
isn’t that big, it is still enough to do damage
to the Republic if they tried to do physical
damage
- Presence of Stresemann: helps with stability.
Became Chancellor in Aug 1923, then
served as Foreign Minister until 1929, he
increased Germany’s standing internationally - Election of Hindenburg, he was known to be
through his policy of fulfilment, trust towards a right-wing traditionalist so it was risky
Germany is shown through League of electing him - it could have been very likely
Nations admission in 1926 etc that he wouldn’t have upheld the constitution
in the way that he did. Left wing feared his
election- fear return of authoritarian power

- Election of President in 1925 - Hindenburg’s
victory is a rejection of extremist politics as
Thalmann was firmly beaten (he only got
6.4%, compared to the 48.3% and 45.3% of
the other candidates), shows that the
republic is politically stable as centerism won
and a reliable candidate was voted in. Also
his election balanced the left-wing focus of
Chancellorship with his right-wing beliefs,
creating an overall more stable and more
acceptable government for most people
