Abstract
It was only in the summer of 1920, after the elections which deprived the Weimar coalition of its majority, that the full burden of the interconnected problems facing the German republic became evident. The treaty of Versailles had left the final determination of the German reparation payments open and had for the time being decreed transfers in kind, above all of coal. The Spa conference, which met from 5 to 16 July 1920, was to be a first step towards settling the economic legacy of the treaty.
