hi, welcome to the forums! i hope AN will become a great place for you throughout your HSC year and beyond. :-)
btw, you posted the same thread twice, so i deleted the most recent one. anyway, onto your question!
To what extent did the Weimar Republic overcome their problems by 1929?
in this essay, there's three things you can talk about: political, social and economic factors. if you wish, you can write one paragraph on each, but it's really up to you and how you usually write an essay. you already said you've done a paragraph on hyperinflation, which is a great start!
here's some more stuff you can talk about:
- reparations: Germany had to pay an excessive amount of money, and you can talk about how that caused instability in the WR. people were super opposed to having to pay so much money.
- more money stuff: Dawes Plan, Rentenmark
- occupation of the Ruhr
- the government as a whole: Article 48 was used a lot, which you can talk about as "overcoming their problems" as it was able to restore a sense of stability for short periods of time. you can also talk about how the president and chancellor kept changing, which you can argue was a sorta unstable government, which the WR didn't really overcome.
- Germany also did some relatively modern things, such as support for unemployed people with the Unemployment Insurance Act 1927, and you can talk about social developments in terms of gender equality, art and music.
- foreign relations!!! huge!!!!! talk about those too! Stresemann did a loooot of things in trying to rebuild relationships with other countries, because after the war, Germany was quite isolated from other countries, so that could be something they overcame.
i hope this helps!
