Germany Recovers: The Stresemann Years WALT: How successfully did Stresemann solve the problems of Weimar ? WILFs Can describe and explain problems and Solutions (C) Can assess how successful Stresemann was (A) Remember; To copy out today’s WALT

Problem 1: French troops in the Ruhr French troops had invaded because Germany had not kept up their reparation payments. Stresemann, you must meet up with the Americans and ask them to reduce the reparation payments. No! Invade the Ruhr and fight the French forces. You may only have 100,000 soldiers left but it should be enough. Refuse to pay reparations any more; you can’t afford it can you?

Problem 1: French troops in the Ruhr And the scores are.. 10 points 30 points 20 points

Problem 2: Hyperinflation Money had become worthless People’s lifelong savings had been lost A loaf of bread cost … Do you Print higher value notes. (e.g. 2 billion, 3 billion etc). That way people won’t have to use wheelbarrows to carry their money anymore. Invent a new currency and use it to completely replace the old German mark Wait for the currency to recover by itself. That way all those people’s savings will become worth something again.

Problem 2: Hyperinflation And the scores are…. 30 points 10 points 20 points

Other countries don’t want to make alliances with Germany. Germany have been left out of the League of Nations I know we’ve been banned from the Anchluss (making alliances with Austria). But they are our natural ally. We need to make the Anchluss once more We can get involved with lots of peace treaties with other countries. Let’s join the League of Nations too! Just sign on the dotted line…. We want to rebuild the German Empire. That way we can defend ourselves from our enemies.

10 points 20 points 30 points

Factories are run down, there are only a few jobs, and poor schools, housing and hospitals. Organise a MASSIVE loan from America to help pay for new schools, house and hospitals and to create new jobs. Quietly build up the Germany army. This will help create new jobs. Let the economy recover on its own- it may be slower, but it is much cheaper and it will recover eventually

Factories are run down, there are only a few jobs, and poor schools, housing and hospitals. 10 points 30 points 20 points

Add up your scores….

ProblemsStresmann’s solution: how good was it? Hyperinflation  French occupation of the Ruhr  Germany’s poor relationship with other countries  German industry is in trouble 

In 1926 Stresemann was awarded the highly respected Nobel Peace Prize He had helped Germany get back on its feet industrially, and helped solved the hyperinflation crisis- but through MASSIVE loans from America He had started to make alliances with the rest of Europe- but not all Germans thought that was right He had improved the lives of Germans; Berlin was now the place to be seen, and schools and houses had been improved- but this had increased the debt to America.
