The most important thing he did in 1923 was to organise the Great [blank_start]Coalition[blank_end] of moderate, [blank_start]pro[blank_end]-democracy parties in the Reichstag. At last, Germany had a government that could make laws! Under Stresemann's guidance, the government called off the [blank_start]strike[blank_end], persuaded the French to leave the [blank_start]Ruhr[blank_end] and even got the rest of the world to allow Germany to join the [blank_start]League of Nations[blank_end] in 1926.
