President Ebert dies of illness, prompting a presidential election, which is won by the former WW1 military commander Paul von Hindenburg. International negotiations continue, culminating in the Treaty of Locarno, in which France, Germany and Belgium agreed never to attack each other again. Germany joins the League of Nations, and Hitler re-asserts his authority over the National Socialist Party.Picture: President Paul von Hindenbergwww.historyeurope.netwww.patreon.com/historyeuropehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-history-of-europe-key-battles/id788893946Opening Music: The Charlston.
