Walter Rathenau
Walter Rathenau was a German industrialist, politician, and influential figure in the Weimar Republic, serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was instrumental in the signing of the Rapallo Treaty with the Soviet Union in 1922, which aimed to normalize relations between the two nations and alleviate some of the military restrictions imposed on Germany after World War I. Tragically, he was assassinated shortly after the treaty was signed, reflecting the turbulent political climate of Germany during that era.
