| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines what I refer to as the pre‐history of the London Conference of 1953 by providing a detailed examination of the dollar bonds, and what they tell us about the relative roles of Britain, France and the United States. There is no doubt that these financial arrangements deprived Germany of its ability to dominate the Continent during the intra‐war period. Financial weakness and dependence on American capital tied Germany to the Western, liberal‐capitalist order, and Germany was forced to accept rescue by the United States. This research focusing on the dollar bonds is based on primary materials in the Berlin‐Lichterfelde Archive (Bundesarchiv Berlin). I begin with a survey of German fiscal policies, with particular reference to the dollar bonds. Next, based on the statistical survey made by the German Credit Bank (Deutsche Rentenbank‐Kreditanstalt), I examine the reduction in the debt redemption.
