🕰️ Historical Context: 1918–1919 Germany

After Germany's defeat in World War I, many Germans were shocked and disillusioned. The idea that the mighty German army had lost on the battlefield was hard to accept. As a result, nationalist and conservative circles promoted the “stab-in-the-back” myth:

🇩🇪 Dolchstoßlegende
The German army didn’t lose the war — it was betrayed by enemies at home, such as:

Jews

Socialists / Communists

Pacifists

Democrats / Weimar politicians

Feminists and intellectuals

This myth absolved the military leadership (e.g., Hindenburg and Ludendorff) of blame and redirected public anger toward political scapegoats.
