Weimar Republic Successful

You contradict yourself in one and the same half-sentence ...

What? Are you really arguing that fascism is inherently republican? Tell that to Mussolini, and to the DNVP. I mean good god. I know this site is substantially monarchist-biased, but this is a new extreme.
 
No, but it does keep Hitler from power.

"Hitler doesn't come to power" =/= "The Weimar Republic survives."

One could for example get a non-Nazi right-wing semi-military authoritarian regime. And that would be way better than Hitler! But it still wouldn't be "The Weimar Republic survives."

Fascism isn't inheritly republican BUT I don't think that genuine Fascists would reinstall a Monarch. Fascism could work with an already existing Monarchy but not even Franco reinstalled a Monarchy in his lifetime.

If the main goal of a party is the reinstallation of a Emperor it is a monarchist party imho.

s said already :
to prevent Hitlerism to rise or the Weimar Republic going down the pipe being undermined as IOTL
you don't need the ToV to be changed

You also need a strong centrist figure to lead the country. Stressman is the only one capable of doing so.

I understand that. I've even said as much. But if you need a way to keep Hitler from power, preventing him from becoming a German Citizen is a pretty easy way to do it

Some other political deals and machinations during 1932 and 1933 which don't lead to a coalition goverment with the NSDAP as a main partner. Together with an improving economical situation this might lead to a decreasing support for both main anti-weimar parties, the NSDAP and KPD. ANd in some more years with a better economic condition the Weimar Republic would return to a standard merry democratic chaos :)

Not really. If a party believes in extreme authoritarianism and racism, and the reinstallation of an emperor, it is still a fascist party. It is also a monarchist party.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but you have to mess with WW1 in big ways. Why? The Great Depression.

Just because you have a bad treaty of Versailles and everything that follows until 1929 doesn't make or break Hitler, it's the Depression that makes the Nazis.

I don't know for sure how you do all of this as you would have to have a totally different person for France at the conference and most likely England. Have the USA stay out (mainly, what I mean is they are pro British and France) William Jennings Bryant goes as a observer to the conference.

Maybe a Constitutional Monarchy in Russia and repudiation of the Treaty of B&L, on Germany's "own idea". The Germans for sure need a new Kaiser in a very Constitutional Monarchy (like GB today). I would allow a uniting of Austria and Germany to offset loss of land. I can see allowing the Sudatenland to stay German. Have the war over by 1917, with a TKO against the Central Powers.

Finally, give the Japanese something a lot better than what they did.

1 of these, multiple actions, all of them? You should last.
