How did the Young Plan lead to the final Allied evacuation of the Rhineland?

The Young Plan facilitated the final Allied evacuation of the Rhineland by serving as a definitive, long-term settlement for German reparations.12

In July 1928, German Chancellor Hermann Müller and Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann sought to accelerate the revision of the Treaty of Versailles by offering a permanent reparations agreement to replace the temporary Dawes Plan. This proposal led to the creation of a committee of experts chaired by the American Owen D. Young.21

During the negotiations, Stresemann successfully secured a promise from the Allies to evacuate the entire Rhineland by June 1930—five years ahead of the original schedule—in exchange for Germany’s acceptance of the Young Plan's financial terms. This commitment proved to be a decisive argument for the German government to pass the necessary legislation in the Reichstag in March 1930, ultimately leading to the departure of the last Allied troops on June 30, 1930.12
