- Stresemann was now in power.
- He made the Dawes plan and Young plan to reduce reparations and form a new German currency with loans from America.
- Cultural achievements were high - new bands, artists, poets and there was no censorship so new material was made.
- Good foreign policies - Locarno Treaties 1925 lead to Germany joining the League of Nations.

BAD POINTS

- No party won majority of seats.
- Unemployment was on the increase.
- Government was spending too much on benefits and health.
- The loans and new currency were dependent on the USA.
- There were still extremes of wealth and poverty in Germany.
