4. The Golden Years
The period between are sometimes referred to as the Golden Years of the Weimar republic
The system of proportional representation meant that political groups should work together which they were not used to
This lead to lots of squabbling to between parties but when coalition governments were formed meant that economic and political problems were not fixed

5. The Dawes Plan
Stresemann believed that fulfilment was the best way of working with the Allies
Germany still needed raw materials and to put confidence in the economy
The Dawes Plan was put together by a group of economists who were led by the banker Charles Dawes.
They agreed that the French would leave the Ruhr
Reparations would be paid over a longer period of time
An international loan would guarantee the repayments of the loans
The Reichsbank would be set up under Allied Supervision

6. The SPD
The biggest problem was guiding the Dawes Plan through the Reichstag due to Germany accepting the fact they would have to continue to pay reparations
The collapse of support of the SPD made the a 2/3 ‘s agreement even harder to agree
Support came through the DNVP, the largest party throughout this period
However this led to other parties such as the DDP and Centre Party to withdraw their support
However the SPD regained their lost seats in the election

7. Coalition of 1925
The SPD continue to obstruct the course of the Weimar republic by refusing to work with bourgeoisie parties
However the could often strengthen governments with their support thereby undermining the process of democracy
In 1925 this was further complicated by the coalition government formed by Hindenberg who was anti socialist
