Most accounts of the Weimar Republic (formed in Germany at the end of World War I) begin in 1918 and end in 1933, when the Nazis took power. Rethinking the Weimar Republic extends the paramaters of the republic to the period from 1916 to 1936. This longer period allows for a better understanding of the genesis of the politics of the republican state, the crises it faced and how they were resolved.
