The short-lived democracy that existed in Germany from 1919 to 1933 was known as the Weimar Republic. It collapsed when Hitler used a loophole in its constitution - secretly arranging for the Reichstag (Parliament Building) to be set on fire so that he could declare a national emergency and establish himself as dictator. Some historians believe that the Republic's failure was also due in part to the way it was imposed by the Allies upon a Germany not included in plans for its future after World War I.

The government formed shortly after the signing of the Versailles Treaty in 1919 was known as the Weimar Government due to the fact that it was signed in the German city of Weimer.
