Heavy industry was back to the same production levels as it was before the Great War‚ which attracted lots of foreign investment. However‚ One could also argue that the Weimar Republic wasn’t as stable and prosperous as it seemed. Germany was still incredibly reliant on US loans and unemployment never fell below 1.3 million. 1923‚ Germany

The Weimar Republic faced a lot of problems during the 1920’s. Germany had just been defeated in the First World War and the Government that had just come into power had no other choice but to sign the Armistice.

I believe that between 1924 and 1929‚ the Weimar Republic was highly successful. They managed to start rebuilding Germany‚ and completely turn around the country’s morale. This period subdued political opposition‚ and helped Germany move forward. However‚ although all seemed rosy on the surface‚ the method in which Stresemann had achieved stability would cause Germany to fall into turmoil after the 1929 Wall Street Crash. Stresemann wanted to achieve an ecomically stable Germany. Germany was currently
