1. Using the information from Chapter 4, what were the threats to the new Weimar Republic? How did the Free Corps assist the government
The threats to the new Weimar Republic were more violence, and the other threat came from the southern province of Bavaria where Kurt Eisner (their leader) was shot and the Communists took control causing a siege. The Free Corps assisted the government by doing their dirty work such as joining the soldiers and killing protesters or anyone else.
2. How did the Germans react to the Treaty of Versailles?
They did not like it at all and thought that the treaty wasn't fair and not what they expected and they felt betrayed. So the government protested and didn't sign the treaty.
3. Who were the "November Criminals"?
The November criminals were the German politicians who signed the armistice in November and they were called this because Germans said that they stabbed Germany in the back by making peace with the Allies.
4. Read chapter 5. Why didn't Field Marshal von Hindenburg and the other general fight instead of having the Weimar government sign the Treaty of Versailles?
He knew that there was no way out but to sign the treaty and that they would probably lose if they had fought the other general.
5. What were the major aspects of the Treaty that caused Germans to object so strongly to it?
The major aspects of the Treaty that caused Germans to object so strongly were land, arms, war guilt and reparations, Germany was not allowed to unite with Austria, and the allies had to occupy all their land west of the River Rhine for 15 years
