&he Weimar go'ernment was unoular with the ,ermans because it was weak. Etssystem of roortional reresentation although fair and democratic often resulted ina high degree of fragmentation in arliament. &his meant that there were too manysmall cometing arties without any arty gaining a ma*ority. &hus all the artiescame together to form a coalition go'ernment. A number of arties had e"tremeideas and not willing to comromise. As a result the coalition go'ernment ketbreaking u leading to fre7uent changes of go'ernment. Et was thus difficult to ass

laws and was thus unoular with the ,ermans as they felt that the Weimargo'ernment was weak and inefficient.

land the trigger being the in'asion of Ioland in :;ondon in the Battle of Britain which ga'e the British 9oyal Airforce time to reco'er. 0e also in'aded the DSS9 while still at war with Britain thus oeninga war on two fronts and o'erstretching his resources and making it difficult for him to secure'ictory o'er the Allies. 0itler also shifted troos from 3oscow to other areas in the initialmonths of the in'asion thus rolonging the in'asion and dro'e the ,ermans into the bitter9ussian winters of :;::;5 which they were unreared for and which the DSS9 tookad'antage to reorganise its troos rebuild its economy and turn the tide against the

,ermans. As a result ,erman military camaigns were often ineffecti'e which caused itsdefence forces to be weakened and subse7uently defeated by the Allies in :;$.

0owe'er other factors can also be attributed to ,ermanys defeat. &he DSAs entry into thewar in :;: was one such factor. DSA contributed ground troos and became directlyin'ol'ed in Allied military oerations. 0ence they were 'ital articiants in the lanning ande"ecution of crucial military strategies which greatly enhanced the effecti'eness of Alliedmilitary strategies. @or e"amle American articiation was crucial in heling the Alliesachie'e control of both the sea and air which enabled the Allies not only to achie'e controlof the Atlantic but also to successfully carry out aerial bombing camaigns against key,erman targets such as their synthetic oil lants and oilfields. &he DSA also articiated inthe lanning and the e"ecution of the --ay landings which were instrumental in bringing

about ,ermanys e'entual defeat in :;$.

Another factor that brought about ,ermanys defeat was the resistance mo'ements incountries such as the DSS9 and Ioland. &hese mo'ements conducted undergroundoerations against the ,ermans as well as ro'ided 'ital information and behindthelinessuort to the Allies. &hese oerations such as blowing u rail links and sabotagingfactories as well as sreading false information and roaganda substantially hindered theeffecti'eness of ,ermanys military offensi'es leading to its defeat in :;$.
