The year 1923 is considered the crisis year of the Weimar Republic. Hyperinflation, economic hardship and hunger, the occupation of the Ruhr region by French and Belgian troops and the subsequent passive resistance, attempts by the Communists to overthrow the government in Hamburg, Saxony and Thuringia as well as the Hitler coup in November, violence on the streets and a lack of political stability gave rise to a feeling of insecurity and disorientation in society.
Peter Tauber describes the struggles of the still young republic, which only came to rest when Hitler's first bid for power failed on 9 November 1923. However, the consequences of the year of crisis were never fully overcome. The "Wars of the Modern Age" series, published by the Bundeswehr Centre for Military History and Social Sciences, presents the most important military conflicts of the 19th and 20th centuries according to the latest scientific findings and explains their historical causes and political consequences.
