The Weimar Republic

Problems under Stresemann

Nationalists attacked Stresemann for joining the league of nations and for signing the Lorcano Pact because Germany accepted the treaty of Versailles.

To many people living in the Germanys villages villages and country towns, the culture of the cities seemed to represent a moral decline, made worse by American inmigrants.

More worrying for the Republic was that 30 per cent of the vote regularly went to parties opposed to the Republic

Achievements under Stresemann

Foreign policy

Stressemans greatest triumphs were in foreign policy. In 1925 he signed the Lorcano Treaty. As result of this Germany was accepted into the League of Nations.

Culture

There was also a cultural revival in Germany. The Weimar constitution allowed free expressions of ideas. Writers and poets flourished, especially in Berlin. The Bahaous style style of desing and architecture developed.

Politics

Even politics became more stable.The parties that supported Weimar Republic did well in these years.

Economy

By 1927 German industry seemed to have recovered very well. In 1928 Germany finally achieved the same levels of production as before the war and regained its place as the world's second greatest industrial power.

It was called like this because:

In 1919 the new government met in a small town called Weimar

Because Berlin was too violent and unstable.
