peace, Uncertain Security,
Inflation in Germany, and
The Treaty of Locarno),
and answer questions
about them.
In November 1918 and after the approval of the peace
settlement to stop the world war I which was so harsh on Germany,
the United States president (Woodrow Wilson) envisioned that the
peace settlement of WWI had some unfair points that may lead
to a new war and a new conflict. The United States president had
a gigantic hope in the league of nation to avoid a knew war
scenario.
Why did the League of nation fail? The most important points
that made the United States failed to join the league are two
reasons; one: most Americans wanted to avoid European
involvement, two: United States senate’s refused to approve the
treaty of Versailles, and by that the U.S couldn’t join the league of
nation which made a huge effect of the competition of the league
and it weakened it.
History
In between 1919 and 1924, Germany was forced to pay
reparations of the war damages to France by the treaty of
Versailles. The Allies reparations coast was around $33 billion
which was a humorous bill. Germany paid its first payment by
1921 but after a year a problem in financial crisis faced the
German government which led them to stop paying reparations.
France lost her mind and sent troops to the Ruhr valley to control
and occupy it.

History
On January 9th 1923, in response to the lack of payment of reparations,
France and Belgium invaded an area in Germany called the Ruhr; The Ruhr was
a region of Germany which contained resources such as factories. France’s aim
from the invasion was to extract the unpaid reparations and to take control of
key industries and natural resources. Occupation of the Ruhr worsened the
economic crisis in Germany. The German government ordered workers to follow
a policy of passive resistance which is refusing to work or co-operate with the
foreign troops and in return the government continued to pay their wages, With
the German governments support, the workers went on strike which means that
their work would go for a stoppage. The German government mainly paid their
salaries by printing more paper money. This only added to the inflation and
rise in prices that had already begun in Germany by the end of the war. The
German mark soon became worthless. In 1914, 4.2 marks 1 U.S dollar. By the
end of November 1923 the ratio had reached an incredible 4.2 trillion marks
to equal 1 U.S dollar.
History
Germany began to seek a way out of this disaster. In August
1924, an international commission adopted a new plan for
reparations. The Dawes plan, named after the American banker
who chaired the commission, the plan reduced reparations and it
then coordinated Germany’s annual payments with its ability to
pay. The Dawes plan also granted a 200 million loan for German
recovery. This loan soon opened the door to heavy American
investment in Europe.
