DOWNLOAD EBOOKJones offers a detailed and comprehensive overview of the development and decline of the German Democratic party and the German People's party from 1918 to 1933. In tracing the impact of World War I, the runaway inflation to the 1920s, and the Great Depression of the 1930s upon Germany's middle-class electorate, the study demonstrates why the forces of liberalism were ineffective in preventing the rise of nazism and the establishment of the Third Reich.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 30 January 1933, Alfred Hugenberg's conservative German National People's Party (DNVP) formed a coalition government with the Nazi Party, thus enabling Hitler to accede to the chancellorship. This book analyzes in detail the complicated relationship between Conservatives and Nazis and offers a re-interpretation of the Nazi seizure of power - the decisive months between 30 January and 14 July 1933. The Machtergreifung is characterized here as a period of all-pervasive violence and lawlessness with incessant conflicts between Nazis and German Nationals and Nazi attacks on the conservative Bürgertum, a far cry from the traditional depiction of the takeover as a relatively bloodless, virtually sterile assumption of power by one vast impersonal apparatus wresting control from another. The author scrutinizes the revolutionary character of the Nazi seizure of power, the Nazis' attacks on the conservative Bürgertum and its values, and National Socialism's co-optation of conservative symbols of state power to serve radically new goals, while addressing the issue of why the DNVP was complicit in this and paradoxically participated in eroding the foundations of its very own principles and bases of support.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbstract. The German Democratic Party was founded on November 20, 1918. It was to be a party around which all moderates could rally, for the founders of the party had stated that the Democratic Party was to be a people's party, and not a representative of a specific social or economic interest group as were the older liberal parties. The party was very successful in the elections to the Constituent Assembly in January 1919, and had been instrumental in giving Germany a republican constitution. However, because of its close cooperation with the Social Democratic Party in 1919, and because it wanted to fulfill the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, it suffered heavy losses in the 1920 elections. The leaders of the party realized that their policies were un popular, and several of them attempted to make the party abandon its ideal of being a people's party in favor of making the Democratic Party a middle-class interest party. A number of other leaders of the party objected to such a course, and an intra-party power struggle resulted, which had the effect of making the Democratic Party leadership behave ambiguously in announcing and practicing their policies. The end result was a split in the party with a number of liberals leaving the party in favor of the German People's Party. The hyper-inflation of the years 1919 to 1923 also worked to the disadvantage of the Democratic Party, for it promoted dissatisfaction with the republican form of government, and led to an increase in the strength of the right-wing parties. Opposition to the Treaty of Versailles heightened German nationalism, especially in regard to foreign affairs. These political conditions affected the German Democratic Party adversely, for the result of its policies of support for the republic and of honoring the Treaty of Versailles, was attacked from the national ist groups who charged it with being un-German and traitorous. Thus when elections to the Reichstag were held in May 1924, the Democratic Party emerged almost completely defeated and thereafter remained only a splinte party.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler's 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy's fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties - the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege - recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today's new and old democracies under siege.
