Two major factors that significantly hurt Germany financially and pushed it into economic depression were the heavy reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles after World War I and the global Great Depression of the 1930s. The reparations burdened the economy, leading to hyperinflation in the early 1920s, which eroded savings and destabilized the currency. Subsequently, the Great Depression caused massive unemployment and further economic contraction, exacerbating the already dire financial situation. These factors collectively undermined Germany's economic stability and contributed to widespread hardship.
Germany & France
After World War II, Germany faced a severe economic depression primarily due to the destruction of its infrastructure, industries, and cities from the war. The country was also burdened by reparations and the loss of valuable territories, which exacerbated its economic woes. Additionally, the division of Germany into East and West further complicated recovery efforts, with each side adopting different economic systems. The combination of these factors led to widespread unemployment, inflation, and a struggle to rebuild the economy.
The Dawes Plan, established in 1924, aimed to ease the reparations burden on Germany after World War I by restructuring its debts and facilitating loans from the U.S. However, this reliance on American loans created a fragile economic situation; when the U.S. stock market crashed in 1929, it led to a withdrawal of funds and a collapse of the German economy. This financial instability not only deepened Germany's economic woes but also contributed to a global economic downturn, ultimately playing a role in the onset of the Great Depression.
