Gustav Stresemann

Hyperinflation and a new currency

Nov, 1923
Weimar Republic (Present Day Germany)

Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic would reach its peak in November 1923. Stresemann introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, to end hyperinflation. He also persuaded the French to pull back from the Ruhr in return for a promise that reparations payments would resume. That was part of his larger strategy of "fulfillment".
