The Treaty of Versailles was the main peace settlement after World War One. The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to take the full blame of starting the war, and they had to pay the costs of the war, which included factories, bridges, and ammunition. This added to about $33 billion US.

Needless to say, this caused Germany to go deep into debt, and Germany was crippled.

When did the Great Depression end?

The Great Depression of the 1930's ended when the U.S entered World War II. Entering war helps get out of an economic depression because it takes men out of the work force and puts them in the military, causing the rest of the U.S to enter the job market. Then they mass produce many products which causes the economy to boom.
