50 Years German Basic Law: A Lesson from Weimar
With the German Bundestag and Government moving from Bonn to Berlin, this summer a historic circle will be closed: German politics have returned to where they started in 1871, after the foundation of the Reich by Bismarck. Unlike Bonn, Berlin had been a symbol for some of the worst episodes in German history. But the city that paved the way to disaster was Weimar, the former cultural capital of Goethe and Schiller. In the year 1919 the Assembly of Weimar approved contemporarily the Constitution of Weimar and the opprobrious peace treaty of Versailles, thus laying the grounds for the first unlucky democratic experience in modern Geman history. Fortunately the Germans have learned from the catastrophe of the Weimar Republic and the Basic Law approved in May 1949 has proven a solid ground on which the new democracy in Bonn could establish a stable democratic culture. The achievements of the Basic Law will even guarantee the stability and reliability of the new Berlin Republic.

A History of Appeasement Part 2
The policy continued and the Allies'intelligence was so limited that it missed the opportunity to stop Hitler completely when he reoccupied the Rhineland. Ultimately appeasement ceased but by that time it was far too late.

The Führer
Adolf Hitler, a nondescript Austrian volunteer in the Imperial German Army in 1918, with the rank of corporal, rose to the position of Chancellor of Weimar Germany in the space of 15 years. Roughly six years later he was on <i>Time</i> magazine's cover as "Man of the Year" for 1938 -- a grudging acknowledgment of Hitler's importance.

The Deaths ofAustria and Czechoslovakia - Part 3
It is a perfectly valid argument that Munich is the military's shame. The combined Allied High Commands must have know Germany's military strength and should have insisted that their individual governments listen to whatever plan they might have presented to confront Hitler with force, and not talk.
