The Dawes Plan of 1924 primarily aimed to assist which country?

The Dawes Plan of 1924 primarily aimed to assist Germany in addressing its reparations obligations following World War I. After the war, Germany faced immense economic difficulties, partly due to the reparation payments imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. The Dawes Plan was designed to restructure these payments to make them more manageable and to stabilize the German economy.

The plan facilitated loans from the United States to Germany, which were intended to help Germany rebuild its economy and, in turn, ensure that it could meet its reparation payments to France and Great Britain. Ultimately, the Dawes Plan also aimed to promote political stability in Germany and, by extension, in Europe as a whole during a time of significant economic crisis. This aligns with the broader context of the 1920s, where the instability in Germany was seen as a potential threat to the European order.
