The problem with this analysis is that the Weimar republic never paid the WW1 debt. In fact, Germany has never paid this debt. The Weimar republic got a lot of money from the US officially as a loan, but it never repaid them. The economic problems of the Weimer republic are now considered to be produced by its economic incompetence, although they were made worse by the financial crisis. Lastly, I think you will find that most of the cultural and scientific progress of the Weimer republic was in the pre-Weimer republic. Einstein, who you quoted Special Relativity, was in 1905, and his General relativity was in 1915. Germany was producing a large stream of noble prize winners before the Weimer republic, during it, the Nazi era and in the post-ww2 era. Steiner's theories were formed before ww1. The first school was in 1919. German art was flowering before the Weimer republic.
Thanks for pointing out the problem with debt repayment. One explanation for this ( I am sure there are many are many factors) is that Germany from across the shattered political spectrum, never accepted responsibility for WW1. Most Germans believed the responsibility lay elsewhere. To look at this issue more closely, its worthwhile having a look at the Franco German rivalry leading the the 1870 war. Bismarck's whole political philosophy was built around isolating the Gauls. After 1870-1871 war, France was in a vengeful mood.
During the time of the Weimar Republic historians estimate Germany paid somewhere between 15 and 25 billion "goldmarks" (allied governments estimated 21.8 Billions by the way)- which is estimated to be 150-250 Billion Euros in modern currency or somewhere between 2 and 4 % of the total national income of Germany during all years of the Weimar Republic combined. In addition, modern Germany paid about 14 Billion DM between 1949 and 1983 and an additional ~ 4 billion € between 1990 and 2010

Contrary to popular opinion, the Weimar Constitution was not replaced in 1933, with the National Socialist usurpation of the constituted Emergency Powers then in force under the Presidency of Paul von Hindenburg. The final parliamentary elections held under the terms of the Weimar Constitution - under the amended emergency regulations, and single-party dictatorship - came in 1938, the Großdeutscher Reichstag, and it dissolved itself fully, in parliamentary terms, in 1942's decree proclaiming Hitler the Supreme Judge of the German People. The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany retained some of the earlier Republic's laws, covenants, and treaties (thus the Concordat between the German Commonwealth - Reich - and the Papal State - the Vatican - remained intact, it was an agreement with the Republic under the Weimar Constitution .. not with the National Socialist State).

Great video, looking forward to working through your back catalogue and your future content. There is a book from Margaret MacMillan called Peacemakers. It gives some great context around the treaties negotiation with Britain, the us, and France. Could be an interesting video.
Germany signing T. of Versailles: Nooo this is so unfair! You've crippled our rebuilding efforts!!! Germany making Russia sign T. of Brest-Litovsk: Take that loosers! Ha ha your nation is broken well soon be wiped from history!!!
The guilt clause did not blame Germany exclusively for the war. "The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." Nothing is egregious. Germany gave Austria-Hungary full support to invade Serbia. Then Germany marched through Belgium violating their sovereignty and fought the majority of the war in Belgium and France. Expecting Germany to accept responsibility and pay reparations for the damage THEY instigated is perfectly reasonable. People need to stop talking about Versailles as if it was too harsh. It wasn't, it was extremely lenient which is why two decades later Germany was nearly able to entirely conquer Europe. Just a minor part of the video but something which irks me! The treaty of Versailles is often misunderstood.
"Germany gave Austria-Hungary full support to invade Serbia." ...whom they invaded in retaliation for their part as a sponsor in the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne which is - in fact - an act of war. Austria's invasion of Serbia was fully justified, and Germany backing their ally in a justified war is also completely justified. Furthermore, Russia - who was NOT treaty bound to intervene - refused to stand down and de-mobilize (despite Kaiser Wilhelm personally pleading with his cousin Tsar Nicholas to do so) due to their own territorial interests in the Balkans and so triggered the domino effect that was the Great War. I fail to see how any of that was Germany's "instigation".
@@m136dalie Germany paid the price for that violation of neutrality by bringing Britain into the war. It was an aggressive act, yes, but it hardly justifies blaming THE ENTIRE WAR on that one single act, especially considering that by that point the war was already declared by 5 powers and was in full effect. Declaring yourself neutral in war doesn't make you immune to it. The fact is the causes for the war were complex and numerous, and blaming the whole thing on Germany was irresponsible. That another war was a mere 20 years down the road was almost an inevitability.
@@cynwraeth1943 The clause doesn't blame the entire war on Germany. It blames the destruction of Belgium and Northern France on Germany. Something which is entirely justified since you yourself even admit that it was an act of aggression.

of course. I was messing around because banks have far more control over who we become than is appropriate. deflationary depression causes socialist movements because wealth has largely been destroyed as credit defaults happen and hyperinflation breeds nationalism because asset holders have everything and working folks don't have as much as they need
@@youngone1985interesting take my friend, out of personal curiosity could you give more examples of deflation giving rise to socialist movements and nationalist/inflation? And possibly counter examples if you know any? This would be a great thing for me to hyper fixate on
@galwhite7011 The more resources are "apparently" available as would appear in hyperinflation people experience having more just no where nearly enough. So they seek deny those undeserving or not belonging to get back those portions that could help them "keep up." This is nationalism. Conversely, if prices and assets are crashing, as in deflationary depression, imbalances are viewed as hoarding, which is seen as endangering another's wellbeing, and socialism becomes far more attractive. This is a fascist polarity that swings very quickly near the end of the currency's life and ultimate debt capacity of nations and people against real productivity. To elaborate, the United Nations found that when food cost exceeds, 30% of income unrest breaks out. Moreover, it's no accident that medeval peasants paid 30% of their productivity to fedual lords, and American's effective tax rate is the same. There is a psychology to how we handle the apparent allocation of resources by the numbers. Getting back to the point, this fascist polarity is just seen as a business cycle or reemerging human behaviors (i.e. hypergany) as a result of changing times until... the nationalist and socialist start singing the same tune. NAZI, national socialist. I'll need to create a podcast to give you examples and counter examples because this concept is a thing likely foreign to you. I would need a lot more time to connect, explain, and reorder common world views to show how what banks and governments do with money breeds victimization, which is essential what's called hate. All who ever hated did so with the justification that they suffered some offense. The socialist and nationalist typical come together when they feel victimization the most, i.e. there's too small minority underneath their station, and they become the bottom. This has implications for helping the poor, forgiving debts, immigration, etc...but most of all, it best explains to me why the holocaust went so far so fast. The American economy was literally a saving grace for a while until it collasped. Sounds familiar?

@@youngone1985interesting take my friend, out of personal curiosity could you give more examples of deflation giving rise to socialist movements and nationalist/inflation? And possibly counter examples if you know any? This would be a great thing for me to hyper fixate on
@galwhite7011 The more resources are "apparently" available as would appear in hyperinflation people experience having more just no where nearly enough. So they seek deny those undeserving or not belonging to get back those portions that could help them "keep up." This is nationalism.
Conversely, if prices and assets are crashing, as in deflationary depression, imbalances are viewed as hoarding, which is seen as endangering another's wellbeing, and socialism becomes far more attractive.
This is a fascist polarity that swings very quickly near the end of the currency's life and ultimate debt capacity of nations and people against real productivity. To elaborate, the United Nations found that when food cost exceeds, 30% of income unrest breaks out. Moreover, it's no accident that medeval peasants paid 30% of their productivity to fedual lords, and American's effective tax rate is the same.
There is a psychology to how we handle the apparent allocation of resources by the numbers. Getting back to the point, this fascist polarity is just seen as a business cycle or reemerging human behaviors (i.e. hypergany) as a result of changing times until... the nationalist and socialist start singing the same tune. NAZI, national socialist. I'll need to create a podcast to give you examples and counter examples because this concept is a thing likely foreign to you. I would need a lot more time to connect, explain, and reorder common world views to show how what banks and governments do with money breeds victimization, which is essential what's called hate. All who ever hated did so with the justification that they suffered some offense. The socialist and nationalist typical come together when they feel victimization the most, i.e. there's too small minority underneath their station, and they become the bottom. This has implications for helping the poor, forgiving debts, immigration, etc...but most of all, it best explains to me why the holocaust went so far so fast. The American economy was literally a saving grace for a while until it collasped. Sounds familiar?
Why are there so many nazis in the comment section???
