DBWI: Weimar Republic falls

WI the Weimar Republic fell? It can be in any fashion a person likes communist, fascismo, or something else it doesn't matter, and at any time 1930's, 1940's, even the 1980's. What is the world like without a stable Democratic Germany?
 
Obviously it's easier earlier on. Lord knows it got off to a shaky enough start IOTL. Maybe, I don't know, blow the wheels off the economy in the early 20s, when there are still enough demobbed soldiers to support a coup of some kind?
 
WWII Wouldn't be the Western Powers versus The Soviet Alliance, but Allies and Axis. Weak Austria wouldn't be allowed to join Germany either in this fashion. Communism would likely last much longer too.

The whoseawhatsit? Commies v ...the other weirdly named alliance? Who the hell calls their alliance the "Axis"?

And I don't know about Austria... If you got a nationalistic Germany, like Italy writ large or something, they might try to take over Austria. "Historical whatsit and all that", whatever Musolini said.
 
I don't know, but I doubt that the Grand Coalition(British Empire, France, Germany, Poland and America later on) would have defeated the Axis of Evil(Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, Romania, Greater Hungary, Greece and the Ottoman Empire) in WWII.


Also, the Wiemar Republics shocking ability to pay the reparations helped Europe recover early from the Great War. Some think that the World would have saw a depression had they not paid those off.

What, with Germany going its own way like Italy? They wouldn't stand a chance... but it might also change all the interwar politics, too. So god knows where the war might go. There'd be no western guarantee of Poland, though, that's for sure.

What do you think the 32 crash was? Bloody people, know jack all about economic history...

OOC: This is true. Honestly, except the Depression, do you know a single other crash? I don't think so... So say '32 was just the usual business bust-cycle.

Maybe the Russo-Polish Alliance could have lasted longer, and they could have taken this TLs Germany together?
 
A non-democratic Germany would most likely return to its authortarian, militarist roots, as seen in the Kaiserreich. This would lead to a more consistent stalwart against Soviet aggression and might actually lead to the defeat of the Soviet Union before it took over continental Europe and led to the ten year war in which the United States, British Empire and the Empire of Japan had to defeat the Eurasian Soviet Empire.

Unlike most people, I believe that a militarist Germany would not autmatically go to war with the west and more than likely would focus instead on the Soviet Union itself, especially if the Soviet Union were to invade Germany.

A flow on effect would mean that it would be more than likely that the warlords that popped up in China after the collapse of the Soviet friendly Communist government and the communist insurrections in a number of western colonies during the Second Great War would of not occur.
