Summary: "Cannes und Genua: Vier Reden zum Reparationsproblem" by Walther Rathenau is a collection of political speeches written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the critical issue of reparations imposed on Germany after World War I, following its defeat. Rathenau, as a prominent German politician and Minister of Reconstruction, seeks to articulate Germany's position and navigate the complex international negotiations surrounding these reparations while expressing his deep concern for the welfare of the German people. The opening of the book sets the context for Rathenau's discussions, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the reparations issue immediately after World War I. It begins with a note highlighting the significance of Rathenau’s last contributions to public discourse before his assassination. The initial speech, presented before the Allied Supreme Council in Cannes, outlines Germany's commitment to fulfilling its obligations while cautioning against demands that could further destabilize the nation's economy. Rathenau articulates the precarious state of Germany’s financial and economic conditions, advocating for a rational and humane approach to the reparations discussions while reflecting on the historical and moral implications of Germany's burdens post-war. This opening not only showcases his intellectual vigor but also foreshadows the diplomatic endeavors that would unfold in the subsequent speeches. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
