Weimar Republic

The period of German history from 1919 to 1933 is known as the Weimar Republic IPA {{IPA|/?va?mar/}} (German Weimarer Republik). It is named after the city of Weimar where a national assembly convened to produce a new constitution after the German Monarchy and German Empire were abolished following the nation's defeat in World War I.

Later reaction

The fall of the Weimar Republic was closely analysed thirteen years later during the Nuremburg Trials when it was decided that in the case of the aristocratic Catholic Franz von Papen, along with the Rhenish-Westphalian Industrial Magnates, conspiracy to assist Adolf Hitler to power was not an indictable offence.

So far history has left a question mark over the effects of Nazi coordination with the Roman Catholic Church and its desire for the "July 20" Reichskonkordat. The Church in Rome seemed to answer any accusations against the papal secretary at state and later wartime Pope Pius XII by nominating him for Sainthood.
