Pay War Reparations ( War Debt)
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Germany’s World War I Debt Was So Crushing It Took 92 Years to Pay Off. After the Treaty of Versailles called for punishing reparations, economic collapse and another world war thwarted Germany’s ability to pay. At the end of World War I, Germans could hardly recognize their country.
Detailed explanation-2: -But most embarrassing of all was the punitive peace treaty Germany had been forced to sign. The Treaty of Versailles didn’t just blame Germany for the war-it demanded financial restitution for the whole thing, to the tune of 132 billion gold marks, or about $269 billion today.
Detailed explanation-3: -On Oct. 3, 2010, Germany finally paid off all its debt from World War One. The total? About 269 billion marks, or around 96, 000 tons of gold.
Detailed explanation-4: -Germany agreed to pay reparations of 132 billion gold marks to the Triple Entente in the Treaty of Versailles, which were then cancelled in 1932 with Germany only having paid a part of the sum.
