Talk:Weimar Republic

This article is so bad, I won't even touch it. Maybe some body has a short blurb, that is more corrcet than this. User:Order May 16 10:00 am (AEST)

It is still below standard. User:Order May 30.

Thanks for pointing that out, the best way to solve this is to edit it and improve it yourself. --Colest 22:25, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

I don't know where to begin. I think this article cannot be fixed, but needs to be replaced first. And then we can start editing. User:Order May 30.

I can understand how you feel, I've been trying to organize the whole History category today and have come across some pretty bad articles. My only suggestion is to come up with some basic format of what you think this article should say/look like and replace what's already there. Unfortunately, we don't have a large enough editor base around here to sit around and wait for someone else to fix things, we have to be proactive. --Colest 22:36, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

I'm currently taking a class on the Holocaust, and I think that as the semester goes on, I will be able to contribute some more to this article. DanH 17:30, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

The feeling that the Germans had been betrayed internally when Germany surrendered in World War I (because the German public was under the impression that they were winning almost up until the point when they surrendered) led to the increasing of anti-Semitic propaganda which sort of set the seeds for what was to come with Hitler's government, because to extremist groups, the Jews served as a scapegoat for who supposedly betrayed Germany. I think this should be integrated into the article, especially as the very end hints at the economic failures of the Weimar Republic as setting the stage for Nazi Germany, and it wasn't just economics. I'd kind of like to hear from the other people who have been editing this as to how to best go about this. DanH 22:30, 13 June 2007 (EDT)
