    There is far more to 1919-1939 Germany than it simply being a prelude to Hitler’s rise to power. As financial ruin, military defeat, and a humiliating treaty blew in gales, Germans pushed for a republican system of government, and a new constitution to lift them off their knees. It was a period of not only struggle as hyperinflation and reparations cut holes into longcoats, but also of steady recovery as the nation launched itself once more onto the world market, as well as creative ingenuity that would continue to shape our understanding of modernity. Watch the political obstacles that had faced the likes of Ebert and Stresemann, the devastating impact of the Great Depression, and the dramatic dissolution of the republic with all its vibrant cultural iconography.

      @@beyondobscure yes. Hitler was Europe's second fascist dictator. Mussolini was the first. Even though he was a staunch socialist in his youth, he eventually realized that socialism sucked and started the Italian fascist movement that would be the countries government for the next two decades. Mussolini ended up inspiring Hitler to take on a similar form and would be the early stages of what would become the second world war.

    The Weimar Republic, officially named the German Reich, was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the German Republic. The nation's informal name is derived from the city of Weimar, which hosted the constituent assembly that established its government. In English, the nation was usually simply called "Germany," with "Weimar Republic" not commonly used until the 1930s.

Hitler, in his bodacioous speeches, brought Germany together.

    Several other events you should eventually do as soon as you can I was thinking are
    The 1968 assassinations of MLK and RFK
    Apollo 11
    The 1980 eruption of Mt St Helens
    and
    Operation Anthropoid

    Several small mistakes in the video. One of them would be that Hitler wore a suit with Hindenburg, not an uniform. But it is a good video.
