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.
