In some ways, this statement is true because the Weimar Republic grew in strength because of Gustav Stresemann and his intervention, the introduction of the new German currency and many other things, but in reality this was a false dawn because there was still opposition from the left and right, and a lot of coalition governments, etc. also, the NSDAP appeared to have stagnated because the party nearly split while Hitler was in prison, etc, but in reality their mass meetings were successful and the fuhrer princip was introduced.
The Weimar Republic grew in strength because of many things:.
Gustav Stresemann was a major influence when the Weimar Republic was growing. Stresemann only served as Chancellor for a mere 103 days, but he did do a lot of things in this period of time, which meant the Republic stayed intact from a crisis that threatened to engulf it. The first thing he did was call off passive resistance. He then went on to try and stabilising the German currency, introducing the new Rentenmark, which was given out in small quantities and was then swapped for the new German currency, the Reichsmark, in 1924. Stresemann then acted quickly to crush a Communist rising in Saxony, and refused to get agitated by the activities of the right in Bavaria. This helped the Republic because it stopped hyperinflation happening again, but it also stopped attempted takeovers of the government, which showed that the Republic was strong. The USA loaned money to Germany to pay some of the reparations back, this was seen as the Republic growing because the reparations were decreasing and also it showed that they were being accepted into the world economy, although America did have its own reasons for lending Germany money (USA didn't want Germany to be overthrown by Communists). The Dawes Plan (1924) and Young Plan (1929) helped the Weimar republic grow in strength because it now finalised the reparations payments (132,000 million marks was fixed but 37,000 million marks was agreed in the Young Plan).
