Point 2 : The Republic had to get used to democracy - talk about how this is the first attempt at democracy and about Kaiser Wilhelm II’s abdication of 1919

Point 3 : The Treaty of Versailles’ Policies repercussions on Germany - talk about the terms of the treaty and how harsh they were, for example, territory being given away, army + navy limited and the reparations
