The collapse of the Weimar Republic and democratic government in Germany occurred for a variety of reasons. The German people did not want a democratic government, particularly one that they blamed for the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles that were forced upon them. The Weimar constitution allowed for misuse of power and for smaller, extremist, and anti-democratic parties to disrupt the work of the Reichstag. Perhaps most importantly, the Great Depression divided the German people, led them to support more extremist groups who promised a better life, and enabled Hitler to take power.
