NEIN Wiemar

As a German citizen I can’t believe that I would see the day that I would be ashamed of everything Germany stood for. My disbelief is becoming my reality, which unbearable to accept. The Wiemar government does not support their actions with sense. I am living the life of poverty, when before the Treaty of Versailles and the War guilt Clause I would be seen as a fairly wealthy person. The Wiemar republic has brought upon shame to Germany. Why did we admit to defeat, we were going on strong?? It does not make any sense; I have lost all faith in my government. When your team runs into a little setback, you don’t quit and accept the consequences, you encourage the team to pump it up, and never give up. What kind of country are you running? Besides accepting defeat, we, as the Germans, were forced to admit to the Treaty of Versailles also. I had to watch as Germany lost its most profitable land. I had to watch our German army cut down to a merely 100,000 soldiers. I had to watch as, slowly but surely, every German became helpless to the nation’s debt. I have had enough of this. I can not even buy by necessities without paying a fortune. Our dollar is worthless; the inflation is killing every single German. When the genius Wiemar republic decided to imprint more money to pay off the reparations of the war, the worth of the dollar had decreased to an amount that one ounce of gold would cost somewhere in the trillions, yes I said TRILLIONS. This is crazy, how are we supposed to live in a situation like this. More importantly, how am I supposed to keep trust in a government that doesn’t appeal me at all, one that I am ashamed of?
I can not even find a job, much less a decent one. Because of this crazy inflation and the around 33 billion dollar debt, unemployment has skyrocketed. Unemployment rates were so high because of decline of industry during this time, no one could afford business making, and also with industry it required to ask for loans and such, which was nearly impossible post-war in Germany. Wiemar republic, you have failed to do your job with the establishment of Democracy. If this government was a true or even semi-democracy, the people would decide what to do with the war, and not just you. How am I supposed to live under these disastrous conditions? How will I support my family if the cost of milk is twice the cost of salary? It is hard to make a decision such as this, but consultation with the country is truly important in times such as these I don’t believe that a Democracy is what our country needs right now, we need someone who will listen to us, who will act upon those things that will help us, the Germans.
Those plans that were supposedly helping Germany with the war reparations didn’t really do what they were intended to do. The Dawes Plan was a plan aimed for Germany to pay the reparations in installments so Germany would not have to deal with it all at once. The Dawes Plan resulted as unsuccessful because many of the angry Germans refused to occupy the growing areas of the coal and steel industries therefore causing more strain to the German economy and hyperinflation. Because the Dawes plan was ineffective, the Young Plan was then instated. The Young Plan stated that it would reduce Germany’s national debt and wouldn’t enforce any immediate payments. But neither plan went without consequence, Like the Dawes Plan as it resulted in hyperinflation, the Young Plan caused the Wall Street Crash in the United States effecting America’s economy, while benefiting Our (Germany) economy.
I am very unhappy with the Wiemar republic’s decisions. I feel that they were negligent to our needs and how it would affect the people of Germany. The inflation, unemployment, and the defeat of Germany have shamed me as a German citizen
