The Treaty of Versailles imposed conditions upon Germany that led directly to the collapse of its currency and economy. The United States was directly involved in, and essential to, the economic recovery of Germany following World War I. The political and security concerns prevented Germany's neighbors from taking a lead in the recovery effort, which, along with the strong economy in the United States led to American leadership of the recovery effort. There were two major undertakings led by the United States, first the Dawes Plan which balanced the German budget and stabilized the currency, and second the Young Plan which attempted to establish a final amount of reparations that Germany was required to pay. Throughout this process, the United States maintained control over European war debt and additional loans to Germany, which gave the United States influence over the global economy. This came to an end during the Great Depression, as the United States began to extricate itself from the global economy. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION * CHAPTER 2 THE BACKGROUND * CHAPTER 3 THE DAWES PLAN * CHAPTER 4 THE YOUNG PLAN AND AMERICAN PROTECTIONISM * CHAPTER 5 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? * CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION The purpose of this thesis is to identify the lessons that can be learned from the post-World War I efforts to stabilize the German economy, as well as how those lessons might be applied to future post-conflict stability efforts. The primary research question is: What were the economic impacts of the Dawes Plan, Young Plan, and the Smoot-Hawley Act on the post-war economic stabilization of the Weimar Republic? Secondarily, the research will address the following questions: How did these economic policies impact the success/failure of the Weimar Republic? What were the immediate impacts of the Versailles Treaty, and why were subsequent plans necessary? What did the Dawes Plan attempt to accomplish? What did the Young Plan attempt to accomplish? How did the Smoot-Hawley Act affect Germany? The answers to these questions establish a body of knowledge relevant to the current dilemma facing the United States as operations across the globe enter the post-conflict phase where economic stability becomes paramount to the future of those regions.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject History of Europe - Ages of World Wars, grade: 1,0, University of Oregon, language: English, abstract: U.S. President Calvin Coolidge used magniloquent words in a message to the Congress, dated only about four months after the implementation of the Dawes-Plan, when he said that the U.S. “desire to see Europe restored [which then] may resume its productivity in the increase of industry and its support in the advance of civilization.” The Dawes-Plan would be the hopeful prospect for achieving this aim. It would bring peace, the leading principle of all American foreign relations, to Europe. With the Dawes-Plan, the reconstruction of Germany was given priority. In fact, American capital and initiative was putting Germany once more on the map of international financial relations and eased the reparation conflict, which dominated international relations since the Treaty of Versailles. The economic contacts and corporations between the United States and Germany intensified and the transatlantic transfer of bonds and technologies had a deep impact on German society. But why did the U.S. invest so much in their former wartime enemy? What was the aim of U.S. foreign politics in this time? By examining official documents of the American government, this paper wants to reveal the intentions of the American economic policies with the Dawes-Plan toward Germany.
