Germany’s post-war economic crisis culminated in hyperinflation in 1923. The dramatic events that year contribute to shaping the retrospective chronology of the Weimar Republic: the crisis appears to conclude the years of unrest that haunted the democracy since its foundation in 1919. By 1924, the label ‘the years of relative stability’ suggests that the radical left- and right-wing forces that threatened the Republic had been defeated.
