100 DAY CHANCELLOR- ends PR (political suicide) courage, Remtenmark= 1 trillion marks, orders army to Saxony, waits for RW to s.d. LITTLE GRATITIUDE. too leneant to RW
FOREIGN MINISTER- Dawes 24, reduced £/year, allies supervise banks, French go, $200m loan from USA to restart paments. Locarno 25, no border change F+G, nothing about E border, LON 26, never in Ruhr or A.L. Young 29, final settlement, replace Dawes, down 2/3 £6.6 to £1.85, out of Rhineland, NO FOREIGN FORCES IN GERMANY
LATE 20s ECONOMY- spenid more, no hyp. allies. dependant on foreign investment, farmers suffered, debt and hardly any help from republic, Unions too powerful, labour-saving machines=unemployment and strikes, house building, unemployment insurace 1927, middle class still reeling. Extremists learning from mistakes, Hindeburg elected(anti-democ') street violence- SA and Red Front Fighters league.
CONTROVERSIAL?
