Part E: Economic Crisis and Hyper-inflation 1923 proved to be a very troubled year for the Republic, a year in which troubles in Germany and foreign pressure combined to being about a major crisis. The reactions of political parties and the Army to the crisis showed how insecure the Republic’s foundations were. The crisis was weathered and brought to the fore the man who was to be Weimar’s leading statesmen - Gustav Stressemann. Events included Adolf Hitler’s first bid for power. Notes should be made on the following aspects: 1. Trying to meet Allied demands? This involves considering: (i) The final reparations bill presented to Germany (ii) Economic problems in Germany i.e. - Debates - Wartime losses - The need to tackle post-war problems - The difficulty of enforcing a strict taxation policy - Signs of inflation (iii) The Wirth Government and the policy of ‘fulfilment’ (iv) Von Seeckt and the Army policy of avoiding military restrictions (v) The Treaty of Rapallo and avoidance of restrictions. 2. The occupation of the Ruhr This involves considering: (i) German inability to meet reparation demands (ii) Poincaré and the Franco-Belgian occupation (iii) The Cuno Government and passive resistance (iv) The use of French workers; violence, strikes and sabotage. 3. Inflation This involves considering: (i) How the Ruhr occupation worsened the state of the economy (ii) Price rises and the fall in value of the Mark (iii) Who benefited (iv) Damage done to wages, savings and attitudes to the Republic. 4. Reactions in Germany This involves considering: (i) Bavaria as a shelter for Patriotic League paramilitaries (ii) Von Kahn’s policies (iii) Army attitudes to events in Bavaria (iv) Army intervention to remove left-wing governments in Saxony and Thuringia (v) Stressemann, his career and personality (vi) Stressemann resumes reparation payments (vii) Hitler’s Munich Putsch and its consequences. History: Germany: Versailles to the Outbreak of World War II - 1918-1939 (AH) 19
Issues to consider • Why did Britain and France press so hard for reparations? Did their reasons differ? • Should the French be blamed for their actions? • Why was Bavaria so important a centre of right-wing activity? • Why did not Hitler’s failure simply make him a figure of ridicule?
