Have a little read: ... Natalie Barnicott 10a Why did Hitler launch the Munich Putsch in 1923 and why did it fail? By the time the Munich Putsch happened in 1923 Germany had been facing a lot of problems, these had mainly started in 1918 at the end of the first world war. They had lost their leader Kaiser Wihelm 11 and the country had been unstable with both the right and the left wingers wanting to take control of the country, the communists and the facisists just couldn't decide on a leader or a stable government. The country's economical system was in severe doubt and by the time the Munich Putsch occurred in 1923 the country was in Hyperinflation, the cost of a loaf of bread was 201,000,000,000 marks. Most Germans people's savings had become worthless. Middle class people had their savings wiped out and the Upper class people only had very little left. Many working class people had no jobs. The rate of unemployment was getting worse everyday. This was mainly due to the fact that all the men that had been at war had now come back and they needed jobs that just weren't there. This was not helped by the Treaty of Versailles where they made the German army only have 100,000 men, even with the private army the Free Corps, may many men had no jobs to go to. The Treaty of Versailles had also knocked the national pride a great deal the German people really resented the November Criminals who had signed it. By November 1923 when the Munich Putsch occurred, the Germans had only paid one instalment of the reparations given to then by the winning sides in the Treaty of Versailles which they had scrapped together with things including gold, coal, Iron and wood. They couldn't pay the next instalments, they just didn't have the money. The French didn't believe the Germans so they invaded the Ruhr Valley and took control, they said they were taking what they were owed. The German government said this was an outrage and that it was a huge violation of the Treaty of Versailles, the government told the workers to refuse any orders given they did this and it was known as passive resistance. The French took drastic measures to control this they opened fire and expelled people who didn't co-operate with them. The following 8 months they killed 132 people
