Did Stresemann succeed in solving the problems facing Germany?

        Germany was running out of money because of Passive resistance the workers were paid to do nothing because they were paid to do nothing and the French were in control of the Ruhr Germany could not make any money out of selling goods which led to Germany running out of money which led to them printing more money and soon the money became useless and there was Hyperinflation. Stresemann set up a new currency. He got rid of passive resistance and made the French leave the Ruhr by promising to pay reparations. Germany was blamed for starting the war and because of this they were not trusted by other countries. Stresemann signed the Locarno Pact with Italy, France, Britain and Belgium this said that they were not allowed to invade each other. Germany also needed to rebuild its economy Stresemann borrowed money from U.S.A to help their economy. Some people thought that Stresemann had rebuilt Germany and this period time was known as the ‘Golden Twenties’.

        Some people thought that Stresemann just ‘papered over the cracks’; he didn’t really solve the problems he just solved them for the time being to make people think he was great. People never forgot Hyperinflation they felt cheated because they lost all their savings and they were never compensated. They didn’t like having to pay reparations they thought that they shouldn’t have to pay them at all. People didn’t like taking loans from U.S.A because if there were problems with U.S.A then there would be problems in Germany.

        In Conclusion I think that Stresemann did succeed in solving the problems facing Germany because there aren’t many problems with the solutions that Stresemann came up with.
