The end of World War One, 1918-1919 - Weimar Germany 1918.
The German Revolution of 1918-1919 did not resemble a real revolution, leastwise not in the traditional sense of the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917, or even the German Revolution of 1848 (Bassel, 1993). The traditions in political sphere differed somehow from t.The German revolution was imperfect and short-lived; nonetheless it was not unproductive. On the contrary: the principles that inspired the revolutionaries and the assembly they established directly led to the unification of Germany in1988, the constitution of the Weimar Nation in1919, and to the Common Law of the post-Second World War Republic of Germany.The revolution of November 1918 was a consequence of the military defeat of the German Empire in the First World War and was triggered by the naval mutiny at the beginning of November 1918. Within only a few days this insurgency spread throughout the Empire with no appreciable resistance from the old order.
The 1918 revolution was Germany’s best chance to undergo political modernisation. Until that date she had been ruled by a succession of authoritarian monarchs who had strictly controlled all political power and prevented progression to a more progressive form of government.A Hundred Years On: Lessons of the German Revolution Submitted by Internationalis. on Nov 10 2018 13:05 9 November is an auspicious date in the German historical calendar. 80 years ago this was the anniversary of Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) when synagogues were burned and 10,000 Jewish males were marched to concentration camps.
