Who was the Chancellor that helped stabilize Germany after hyperinflation?

Gustav Stresemann played a crucial role in stabilizing Germany after the period of hyperinflation that followed World War I. As Chancellor from August to November 1923, he implemented a series of economic reforms aimed at restoring confidence in the German economy. One of his most significant actions was the introduction of the Rentenmark in late 1923, which replaced the worthless Papiermark. This new currency helped to stabilize prices and restore public faith in the financial system.

Stresemann's government also focused on negotiating reparations payments and improving international relations, which attracted foreign investment and led to the Dawes Plan of 1924. This plan not only restructured Germany's reparations payments but also provided loans to aid the German economy. His efforts laid the groundwork for the 'Golden Twenties' in Germany, a period marked by economic recovery and cultural flourishing.

In contrast, Friedrich Ebert, although a notable figure in early Weimar politics, did not have the same direct impact on post-hyperinflation stabilization as Stresemann. Hermann Müller, who served as Chancellor after Stresemann, lacked the immediate effectiveness during the crisis period. Adolf Hitler's rise to power occurred later and was characterized by a different approach to governance
