Der Versailler Vertrag und die deutsche Außenpolitik 1919–1933

Abstract

The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 at first greatly limited the possibilities of German foreign policy, but a little later itsleading figures (Rathenau, Stresemann, von Schubert) found new scope to defend German interests. However, theend of the reparations and the arms restrictions (1932/33) came too late for the Weimar Republic; Hitler was alreadyat the gates of power.
