How did Gustav Stresemann’s position during the Kapp Putsch affect his relationship with the Weimar Republic?

Gustav Stresemann’s position during the Kapp Putsch of March 1920 was characterized by an ambiguous "wait-and-see" attitude. As a monarchist and opponent of the Weimar Republic at that time, he did not immediately commit to the defense of the democratic government against the right-wing insurgents.1

However, once the putsch was suppressed, Stresemann shifted his approach and prepared to cooperate politically with the republic. He began efforts to demonstrate that his German People’s Party was qualified to participate in government coalitions. Despite this pivot, he remained part of the "national opposition" to the Weimar coalition for some time before eventually becoming chancellor in 1923 and emerging as a vital statesman for the republic's stability.12
