Talk:1920s Berlin

I have given this page quite an overhaul.
Before it really read like a kid's Social Studies paper. It was chock-full of uncited "due to"s and facts stated twice and such. I've put in comments for particularly important changes I made so you can easily put them back in if you feel it's necessary. This article is a long way from being finished, but it's better.

 * Yup, better. Major concern are: No references, no structure. Sebastian scha. (talk) 07:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The part about communists not cooperating with socialists needs to be cited and qualified.The idea that the failure of the the communists to cooperate with the Weimar government, and that this made ripe conditions for Fascism, is weak and ill-founded. The economic collapse and the Fascists ability to exploit the resulting frustration were much stronger contributing factors to the Third Reich. Why is murdering Liebknicht and Luxemburg, especially the latter who was non-violent, and the failed economic policies that led the financial collapse, more to blame for the rise of Fascism than the communist uprisings? Did the Weimar government honestly account for its collapsed economy (either in renouncing or reforming failed economic policy)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottsjackson (talk • contribs) 13:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, the Nazis did not really become a major political party in "red" Berlin until after the Wall Street crash. Since the 1930s time period is beyond the scope of this article, I've just written some about the street battles involving Nazis between 1926 and 1929.--Brian Dell (talk) 05:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Theming
This is a very strange page that does not fit into any series, and its opening sentence does not stand up to any test: The Golden Twenties was a vibrant period in the history of Berlin, Germany, Europe and the world in general. The subject matter is largely covered in the Weimar Republic page, in the section 'Golden Era 1924-1929'. Particular cultural aspects such as the gay dimension would probably merit their own page.
