Germany: 1918-1939 - Weimar's Recovery, 1924-1929
In GCSE History students will look at Germany between the two World Wars. One area covered is the more stable, middle period of the Weimar Republic in the late 1920s, before the Great Depression.
The late 1920s were the best years for Weimar Germany. The country was more politically stable, and seemed to be economically stable too. Unfortunately this was an illusory calm: Germany depended on US loans to finance her industry and to pay reparations.
