The weimar republic had many problems that delayed their potential in the early years of its development. First of all the government had a "putsch" or otherwise known as a general strike. The "putsch" however was stamped out quickly by the Weimar government. The Weimar republic had a second "putsch" in 1923, but this time it was by the Nazi German party. This turned more and more people against the republic. There was even another party that tried to rebel against the Weimar republic, the Spartacus party. They were not a threat though, the Spartacus party was crushed by the Weimar republic along with the Nationalists. Many people felt that the constitution was the party's downfall. Germany's citizens were not pleased with the fact that the Weimar republic followed the treaty of versailles. Ultimately, Germany was primarily a communist state at the time because of how poor it was. There were a lot of attempts of uprising such as the Spartacus party. The Weimar republic really didn't stand a chance from the beginning.
