USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As part of his policy of fulfilment, Gustav Stresemann wanted to steer Germany into the League of Nations. This international organisation was set up by the Treaty of Versailles and Germany joined in September 1926. Entry into the League was needed for the Locarno Pact to come into operation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Germany was not an original member of the League of Nations when it was established in 1920. Germany joined in 1926 and remained a member until Adolf Hitler withdrew the country from the League in 1933.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the League was set up, Germany was excluded from joining. The United States never joined so for many the League was ineffectual. Germany, after the Locarno Pact 1925 managed to secure negotiations for Germany to join. In September 1926, Germany was admitted to the League, to join all the other great powers.

Detailed explanation-4: -In October 1933, some nine months after Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, the German government announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations. The ostensible reason was the refusal of the Western powers to acquiesce in Germany’s demands for military parity.
