German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann passed away from a stroke in Berlin, Germany. The strongest figure in the Weimar government, Stresemann had negotiated the reduction in reparations and the treaty of Locarno, as well as getting Germany a seat in the League of Nations. In 1926 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. As Foreign Minister he believed that Germany was destined eventually to dominate Europe, but meanwhile should remain conciliatory with the British, French and Americans. His death left the Weimar government considerably weakened.
