The '''Dawes Plan''' was formed in 1924 when an international committee funded by the [[United States of America]] and [[England]] tried to save [[Germany]]'s failing economy after the crushing reparations put upon it at the end of [[World War I]]. The Dawes Plan, named after American financier [[Charles G. Dawes]], recommended that Germany begin paying 1,000,000,000 gold marks in the first year and increasing to 2,500,000,000 by 1928. It also called for a loan of 800,000,000 marks ($200 million) to Germany. The Dawes Plan ignored the original reparations set by the [[Treaty of Versailles]]. By 1929 the Dawes Plan was considered a big success and financial controls over Germany were relaxed. Germany factories were producing again at prewar levels and inflation was no longer a big problem. The Dawes Plan of 1924 had brought recovery and stable money back to Europe and western Europe. However the plan could not stand up during the [[Great Depression]] that began in 1929.
