After the war, the general population believed they had been stabbed in the back by the leading generals of Germany. The fighters on the German front believed that they were in face winning the fight, however only the people back home and high up in the government knew the true problem of munitions and food shortages. Germany was forced to surrender, but, the general populous had no idea why.
Groups such as the Friecorps, roughly translating to the 'Free People' or 'Free Squad' started emerging, as rumors of the war being surrendered unnecessarily by the communists or the Jews. The Friecorps, (which Hitler himself was even a part of) engaged in a lot of fighting with Communist and other minorities groups.
This lead to each group wanting to seize power of Germany, before their opposing group did, and combined with the general feeling of civil unrest in Germany, many uprisings took place. Maybe most famously, the Kapt-Putsch in which Hitler was jailed for attempting a revolution.

World war 2 began when Germany invaded what country?
Germany started World War II by invadingPolandGermany first invaded Poland, as an act they stated was just to get back some of the land they had lost in World War I. As many of you may know, not many countries apart from Germany were hungry for war, so they let it pass, thinking it was the last hostile act Germany would make. As it turned out, they were wrong.
Why did Germany become republic country after World War I?
At the end of World War 1 Germany was in a terrible condition. Germany began to crumble from within. The seamen were on strike, the social situation was terrible (a lot of people were poor) and so there were many riots out on the streets (German Revolution). Germany had clearly lost the war and so Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate. He fled to the Netherlands in exile. The moment he abdicated was the moment Germany had no monarch as head of state, and so Germany officially became a republic on the 9th of November 1918.
