To what extent was German foreign policy successful between 1919 and 1933?

The question requires that candidates consider the merits or otherwise of the suggestion that German foreign policy was successful between 1919 and 1933. Candidates may consider success to mean Germany regaining her position as a major European power. In the years from 1919 to 1924, German foreign policy was largely unsuccessful. Evidence could include the acceptance of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and Germany’s isolation leading to the Treaty of Rapallo with the Soviet Union. Candidates may discuss the policies of Stresemann, negotiating the Dawes Plan 1924 and the Locarno Agreements 1925. Germany joined the League of Nations and was no longer isolated and able to negotiate the Young Plan in 1928 which reduced the overall reparations total and finalized the removal of all occupation troops from the Rhineland. Thus, it could be argued that from 1924 onwards German foreign policy was largely successful.
