Weimar Republic takes form
1919
Germany's new republic, drawn up in the placid town of Weimar because Berlin was too chaotic, adopted one of Europe's most liberal constitutions. Women voted, speech was free, welfare expanded. It also carried clauses that would one day let a chancellor rule by decree. Article 48 was a loaded gun on the mantelpiece.
