Germany:
1918 - Imperial State.
By 1919 - Revolution, Federal Democratic Republic.
1919-1923 - Default of Loans, Hyperinflation, French and Belgian Occupation of the Ruhr region, the German Worker's Party becomes the Nazi Party.
By 1924 - A Liberal Democracy and a period of cultural decadence which includes German women breaking with traditional mores of society and becoming what was considered 'Americanised': smoking, drinking and cutting their hair short. Idea that the German identity was being polluted by American Interests.
1930-1932 - Lapse and Collapse of Liberal Democracy, Effects Of The Great Depression Pass Through To Germany
By 1933 - Fascist State, Nationalism, Strong German Identity.
From King to Dictator in 15 years, with Economic Forces driving it.
