How far had Wiemar Germany recovered from its problems by 1928?

How far had Wiemar Germany recovered from its problems by 1928?

1. Had recovered to an extent:

   • No takeover attempts by Communists or Nazis since 1923 and support for extremist parties low.
   • Most Germans seemed to have accepted the Weimar Government and gave it their support
   • Economy was strong and productive.
   • Unemployment was low and peoples standard of living had improved
   • Germany was no longer an international outcast, she'd now been admitted to the League of Nations
     • Also had much better relations with Britain and France

2. Had not fully recovered:

   • Economy was far too dependent on US loans.
     • If these stopped the economy was not strong enough to continue to grow on its own
   • Extremist groups still existed and were still determined to destroy Wiemar Germany
     • They were waiting for next opportunity to bring down wiemar
   • Millions of Germans had not forgiven Wiemar for the surrender, the ToV or the chaos of the early 20s
     • They only tolerated Wiemar as long as things were going well.
     • As soon as they went badly again, they would desert and look for other options
