| Description: |
A social history of Germany in the years following WWI, this book explores the devastating social and psychological consequences of Germany's defeat and subsequent demobilization offering insights into the sense of dislocation, both personal and national, experienced by Germany and Germans in the 1920s and its damaging legacy for German democracy. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a social history of Germany in the years following the First World War. Germany's defeat and the subsequent demobilization of her armies had enormous economic, social, and psychological consequences for the nation, and it is these which Richard Bessel sets out to explore these. Dr Bessel examines the changes brought by the War to Germany, by the return of the soldiers to civilian life and by the demobilization of the economy. He demonstrates how the postwar transition was viewed as a moral crusade by Germans desperately concerned about challenges to traditional authority; and he assesses the ways in which the experiences and memories of the War affected the politics of the Weimar Republic. This original and scholarly book offers important insights into the sense of dislocation, both personal and national, experienced by Germany and Germans after the First World War, and the damaging legacy of the War for German democracy. |
