Stresemann's Star-Studded Achievements 🇩🇪🌍 🎤
- Who is Gustav Stresemann?
- Served as Foreign Minister from 1924 to 1929.
- Goal: Restore Germany’s European position & get out of the Versailles Treaty's grip.
- Strategy: Stick to the Versailles Treaty, become friends with Britain and France, then nudge them to alter the treaty.
- Stresemann's Big Wins 🏆
- Locarno Pact (1925): Stresemann's way of saying, "Our western borders won't change, France 🇫🇷." This led to troops leaving Germany.
- Real-World Example: Imagine promising your neighbor you won't throw loud parties if they stop complaining about you. Peace reigns! 🎉
- League of Nations (1926): Germany got VIP access with veto power.
- Treaty of Berlin (1926): Renewed the Treaty of Rapallo (1922), keeping Russia 🇷🇺 as friends, making the West a tad jealous.
- Real-World Example: It's like keeping your old BFF while making new friends at school.
- The Young Plan: US 🇺🇸 lent money to Germany, reduced their debt's repayment time.
- No more foreign troops on German soil by June 1930, 5 years early!
- Locarno Pact (1925): Stresemann's way of saying, "Our western borders won't change, France 🇫🇷." This led to troops leaving Germany.
- Kudos & Critics 🥳😡
- Accolade: Nobel Peace Prize in 1926! Stresemann and French buddy, Aristide Briand, were the talk of the town!
- Criticisms: Some Germans felt Stresemann was too cozy with the Versailles Treaty and that some actions favored France too much.
- Quick Facts 🚀
- Stresemann died in 1929.
- We aren't entirely sure of his long-term plans for the Treaty of Versailles.
- 1929's Wall Street Crash changed EVERYTHING.
Weimar Republic: Burst of Creativity! 🎥🎶
- Era: Short-lived, but boy, did they live it up in arts and sciences!
- Activity Idea 💡
- Split into teams.
- Dive deep into Weimar culture: painting, literature, music, film, etc.
- Present your finds to the class. Think about:
- Key changes and reactions in Germany.
- Why did these changes happen?
- The ripple effect on society, other countries, and Weimar as a whole.
