Munich Putsch 1923
Why?
Hitler thought he had support from Bavaria
Triggered by passive resistance against Ruhr occupation being called off
Hitler thought this to be the best way to gain control
What?
At meeting in beer hall, Hitler and 600 SA come in
Silenced crowd with gun and took Kahr and the others into a side room
Promised them good jobs if they helped
They said no
oof
Regardless, Hiter told everyone that Kahr had agreed
Crowd happy about this
Now they had no choice but to agree, so they did
Then Hitler let them go home
Kahr obviously told the government
The next day, Hitler, Ludendorff and the Nazis went into Munich
They asked the police not to shoot
The police shot
Commence gunfight
Hitler escaped with dislocated shoulder to car
They found him and put him in Landsberg Prison for nine months
Effects

Worse for SDs than Nazis
Hitler decided only to use democratic means to get into power from then on

Money became pretty much worthless
There was a huge economic crisis
People were angry and blamed the government

Germany wasn't keeping up with its reparations payments
The French came into the most industrial area - the Ruhr - and took the materials for themselves
Effects
Germans got very A N G E R Y
They did some passive resistance
Basically they refused to work
But this made them even poorer
So they started to print more money...

US gave Germany loans
They could invest back into the economy
They would then find it easier to pay reparations

Became famous for being sleazy
Some really didn't like this
