Member 2 (Faandy) - Economic Weakness of the Weimar Govenment



Economic weakness

~Signing the Treaty of Versailles, 28/06/1919 - £6600 million in reparation 

payments.


~The Ruhr crisis of 1923 - Germany couldn't pay, 

and France wasn’t happy as it needed the 

money to 

pay its debts to the USA. France and Belgium 

occupied the Ruhr to obtain goods.



~Hyperinflation - The government printed 

more 

money to pay the Ruhr workers.


~The Wall Street Crash, New York, 1929 - No 

more help available from the USA
