The Dawes Plan was proposed by American diplomat Charles G. Dawes in 1924, which was aimed at easing economic tensions post WWI by adjusting German reparation payments.
The Dawes Plan is like a revised payment plan for a large debt. Imagine if you borrowed money from a friend and couldn't pay it back all at once, so your friend creates a new plan that allows you to pay back in smaller, more manageable amounts.
Young Plan: This was another reparations arrangement set up in 1929 after the Dawes Plan. It further reduced payments required from Germany.
Locarno Treaties: A series of agreements where Germany, France, Belgium, Great Britain and Italy mutually guaranteed peace in Western Europe.
Weimar Republic: The German republic that existed from 1919 to Hitler's rise to power in 1933.
