It addresses central questions raised in the historiography of the 1920s, shedding light both on Britain’s policy and that of other powers, particularly France. Based on a thorough examination of the British archives, analysis also focuses on the process of policy-formation, revealing the significance for this of administrative and personal relationships and of domestic political constraints. The thesis begins with an analysis of Britain’s role at the onset of the crisis. It evaluates the influence on Britain’s policy both of the international situation and of internal factors after the collapse of the Lloyd Gleorge coalition. Britain’s ambiguous position of benevolent neutrality from January to April 1923 is then analysed and its inadequacy demonstrated by revealing the contradictions involved when implementing it on the spot in the Rhineland and Ruhr. The thesis explores the search for alternatives during the summer of 1923, when policy-makers tentatively tried to encourage negotiations, but in fact simply compounded Britain’s difficulties. Discussion then moves to events in the autumn of 1923. Once German passive resistance ceased the European situation became more fluid. Britain was at last able to pursue an effective policy . She distanced herself from events on the spot and played an important role both in establishing international enquiries to investigate reparations, and in ensuring that the experts’ reports (particularly those of the Dawes Committee) were adopted at the London Conference in 1924. This thesis explores Britain’s attitude to reparations and to broader questions of post-war European reconstruction and stability, revealing the dilemmas caused by Britain’s underlying strategic and economic weakness after the war. It highlights the difflculties Britain encountered when dealing with her European neighbours and provides a valuable insight into the complexity of British foreign policy during this brief but crucial period. 1 Contents List of Figures 3 List of Abbreviations 4 Acknowledgments 5 Introduction 6 I.

Introduction The occupation of the Ruhr marked the culmination of the bitter dispute over German reparations which had poisoned European relations since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. On 26 December 1922 the Reparation Commission declared that Germany was in default on timber deliveries, and on 9 January that she had “voluntarily” defaulted on coal. On 11 January 1923 the governments of France and Belgium sent engineers accompanied by troops into the Ruhr valley in order to ensure coal and timber deliveries.! The resulting crisis quickly escalated. The Germans launched “passive resistance” (effectively a government-sponsored general strike), and the French reacted by increasing their presence. It was not until 26 September that the Germans finally announced the cessation of passive resistance. This decision was not taken in time to save Germany fi^om political chaos, economic collapse and hyper-infiation, or to prevent serious challenges to the very structure of the Reich - from Separatists in the Rhineland and Ruhr, from Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch in Bavaria, and from a revolutionary communist movement in Saxony. France, though ostensibly the victor, also suffered in real terms. Despite an agreement in November 1923 establishing international expert committees of inquiry into the reparations issue, she refused to evacuate the Ruhr. The occupation continued to take a huge economic toll and in January 1924 the franc collapsed, leaving France financially vulnerable and therefore, it has been argued, diplomatically constrained. When the experts’ reports were published, France had little alternative but to accept their proposals - in particular those of the Dawes 1 The Italian Government sent a token few engineers. 6 committee - at the London Conference in July-August 1924. These events have received considerable historiographical attention. Significantly, the majority of this has focussed on France, particularly since the French archives were opened in the 1970s. The trend has been to move away from viewing the occupation of the Ruhr as a calculated, vindictive attempt by France to attack, suppress and exploit Germany. Historians such as Stephen Schuker, Walter McDougall, Marc Trachtenberg and Charles Maier have distanced themselves from the traditional view of the 1920s as merely an era of illusions and a prelude to the 1930s and have come to view the decade as a time when the conditions for international stability were defined, the limits of the return to the pre-World War I status quo were reached, and developments took place which prefigured the post-World War II settlement.2 Charles Maier has even explained the Ruhr crisis as part of a much broader progression towards eventual post- Second World War European stabilisation and integration and the ultimate triumph of conservative bourgeois forces.3 Walter McDougall has argued that throughout the post-war period, French policy was consistent, positive and rational. It was aimed at seeking parity and partnership with Germany and was based on the assumption that a weakened Germany and a strengthened France could have been integrated into the Western European community in the 1920s in the way that they were after World War II. Thus France sought to enlist the help of her allies to internationalise European stabilisation in order to solve her twin dilemmas of 2 For an excellent overview of this revisionist literature, see J.

While they do not attribute to her the farsighted consistency and clarity of purpose of McDougall, they see Poincaré as well-intentioned and justified in his German policy and desire for reparation. Facing an increasingly complex and difficult situation, both internationally and domestically, and - crucially - lacking the support of his allies, Poincaré was increasingly overwhelmed by events and his policy became essentially reactive in nature until, by January 1923 he had no real alternative but occupation.6 Stephen Schuker and Bruce Kent are more critical. Kent, like Trachtenberg and Keiger, emphasises the immense difficulties facing France and the influence on Poincaré of domestic-political factors. He also criticises Britain and the US for irresponsibly abandoning her. None of this, however, is sufficient justification for the Ruhr occupation - an act which he condemns as ‘criminal foliy.

Uncertainty and Hyperinflation: European Inflation Dynamics after World War I Jose A. Lopez Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Kris James Mitchener Santa Clara University CAGE, CEPR, CES-ifo & NBER* May 9, 2018 ABSTRACT. Fiscal deficits, elevated debt-to-GDP ratios, and high inflation rates suggest hyperinflation could have potentially emerged in many European countries after World War I. We demonstrate that economic policy uncertainty was instrumental in pushing a subset of European countries into hyperinflation shortly after the end of the war. Germany, Austria, Poland, and Hungary (GAPH) suffered from frequent uncertainty shocks – and correspondingly high levels of uncertainty – caused by protracted political negotiations over reparations payments, the apportionment of the Austro-Hungarian debt, and border disputes. In contrast, other European countries exhibited lower levels of measured uncertainty between 1919 and 1925, allowing them more capacity with which to implement credible commitments to their fiscal and monetary policies.

  • Sir Horace Rumbold and Japan (1909-1913)
    SIR HORACE RUMBOLD AND JAPAN (1909-1913) Preface Sir Horace George Montagu Rumbold (1869-1941) was a distinguished British diplomat1. He was the Ambassador to Berlin between 1928 and 1933, and well-known as having warned the British Government of the danger of Hitler and National-socialism at the very early stages of the rise of Nazism. Harold Nicolson dedicated the first edition of Diplomacy to him, describing Rumbold as “an ideal diplomatist2.” Rumbold had a colorful diplomatic career. He was at the centre of intelligence and diplomatic activity as the Minister at Bern during the First World War, inaugurated the official relations between Britain and then newly resuscitated Poland after the war, and headed the British delegation at the reconvened Lausanne Conference in 1923. He was also an expert on evacuation; evacuated embassy for three times, in Berlin, Warsaw, and Constantinople. Less known is the fact that he had served as the Counsellor in the Tokyo Embassy from 1909 to 1913. He had been Chargé d’Affaires there three times and had a lot of occasions to talk with the Japanese foreign ministers and prime ministers. He also had an audience of Emperor Yoshihito, although it was rare for the Chargé d’Affaires to be offered such an occasion3. In those days Japan was eager to establish a foothold in 1 Martin Gilbert, Sir Horace Rumbold, Heinemann, 1973, and T. G.

On the eve of the World War, Germany was one of the great economic powers of the world. In industrial activity, in world commerce, in international finance, in the aggres- siveness and resourcefulness of its business leaders, it challenged or surpassed every one of its rivals. Tenyears later the formerly powerful German economy was perilously near the brink of chaos. The tremendous spiritual and material demands of a disastrous war,the acceptance of thesevere provisions of the treaty of peace, the domestic in- stability attending political revolution, and the catastrophic currency inflation—these factors had wrought havoc in the business life of the nation. Some notion of the economic consequences of Germany's defeat in the World War and of its plunge into the maelstrom of inflation is essential 3] to an appreciation of the character of the fluctua- tions in its economy after the return to more stable conditions, for certain peculiar features of these fluctuations were intimately related to structural changes imposed upon it by the War, the peace treaty and the currency inflation.

  • Yesterday's News: Media Framing of Hitler's Early Years, 1923-1924
    92 — The Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 6, No. 1 • Spring 2015 Yesterday’s News: Media Framing of Hitler’s Early Years, 1923-1924 Katherine Blunt Journalism and History Elon University Abstract This research used media framing theory to assess newspaper coverage of Hitler published in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post between 1923 and 1924. An analysis of about 200 articles revealed “credible” and “non-credible” frames relating to his political influence. Prior to Hitler’s trial for treason in 1924, the credible frame was slightly more prevalent. Following his subsequent conviction, the non-credible frame dominated coverage, with reports often presenting Hitler’s failure to over- throw the Bavarian government as evidence of his lack of political skill. This research provides insight into the way American media cover foreign leaders before and after a tipping point—one or more events that call into question their political efficacy. I. Introduction The resentment, suspicion, and chaos that defined global politics during the Great arW continued into the 1920s. Germany plunged into a state of political and economic turmoil following the ratification of the punitive Treaty of Versailles, and the Allies watched with trepidation as it struggled to make reparations pay- ments. The bill — equivalent to 33 billion dollars then and more than 400 billion dollars today — grew increas- ingly daunting as the value of the mark fell from 400 to the dollar in 1922 to 7,000 to the dollar at the start of 1923, when Bavaria witnessed the improbable rise of an Austrian-born artist-turned-politician who channeled German outrage into a nationalistic, anti-Semitic movement that came to be known as the Nazi Party.1 Ameri- can media outlets, intent on documenting the chaotic state of post-war Europe, took notice of Adolf Hitler as he attracted a following and, through their coverage, essentially introduced him to the American public.
