The Allied Forces were tottally unfair in the reparations towards Germany, which is what mainly caused World War Two to start. During the Reparations, Germany was demilaritized, had no army, was split in half and etc.. All of these reparations were made and passed without Germany even present when the reparations were made.
Its was 1923 :P The same year that Hitler took over German government....but he faailed and got sent to prison insted. :) -----------------------> No -it's the wrong answer above; Hitler never took over the German govt. in 1923. Germany stopped paying Versailles reparations in 1931 - before the Nazis took power in 1933.
It had caused Germany to grow resentment towards England and France for placing the treaty of Versailles on Germany limiting its army and having it pay for all the damages caused by the war. this had caused many Germans to be angry at the allies and that allow for the rise of Hitler who also hated the treaty.
they demanded money because first of all, Germany killed alot of free nch soldiers and destroyed houses, industry and the french wanted to revenge. basically they made Germany accept the war guilt.: ReparationsDemanding money (reparations) from a defeated enemy wasn't some new idea that arose in WW1. It's been done in many peace treaties. Germany had demanded and got a substantial sum from France in 1871, for example; Napoleon had made Prussia pay France a large sum in 1807. In WW1 the Germans demanded a huge sum from Russia following its defeat. That tends to be forgotten. The purpose of repararations is often twofold: (1) to satisfy greed and (2) in order to weaken the defeated country further, over and above the military defeat. JonceyThe allies demanded money from Germany because Germany had killed lots of french soldiers and destroyed France.Also because Both France and Britain thought that Germany should pay for the whole war that had just happened,just because they thought Germany was guilty for all the damage!And we all know a war can not be caused and fought by one country!Jhna15
Germany was initially excluded from the negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles following World War I, as the Allied powers sought to impose punitive measures on the nation. The treaty, signed in June 1919, aimed to hold Germany accountable for the war, leading to territorial losses, military restrictions, and reparations. While Germany was allowed to present its grievances, it had little influence over the terms, which were largely dictated by the victors. This exclusion and the harsh conditions of the treaty contributed to significant political and economic turmoil in Germany in the years that followed.
Weimar-Germany recovered from its problems in 1928 by agreeing to pay reparations as well as bringing workers back to work and ending passive resistance. The workers were no longer on strike. Gustav Stresseman helped Germany recover from hyper-inflation by changing the currency, agreeing to pay reparations, and borrowing money from America. The Dawes Plan was a huge achievement to Germany as they were given longer to pay reparations which meant the amount they had to pay each year was less. Also the Young Plan decreased the amount Germany had to pay because everyone had better relationships with Germany. A new government was formed and Germany was paying reparations as foreign banks were lending them money and America was lending huge loans to Germany, over 800 million. This meant Germany had more then enough to pay back reparations. Germany also invested in a new economy and built new machinery, buildings, hospitals, schools, factories. Germany became a lot richer and the industry took off. By 1928 they were producing the same amount as they had before the war, by 1929 they were producing 33% more then before the war. Germany was the most successful economy and had the fastest recovery than either Britain or France. Factory workers' pay increased hugely and their working conditions improved as well. All of their success were because of American loans, however the loans could be called back at any time. Germany had recovered from all of its problems by 1928 and was doing just as well as they had before the war. However as all of their successes were because of loans, Germany was at risk and as Stresemann said "Germany was dancing on a volcano"
Germany was set to pay $367 billion. Germany was set to pay reparations over the next 30 years.

yes reparations were required
Germany completed its reparations payments for World War I on October 3, 2010. The payments were initially set by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, leading to significant economic strain on Germany. Over the decades, the reparations were reduced and restructured, with final payments made to cover debts from the interwar period and later obligations.
Germany was required to pay reparations totaling 132 billion gold marks, as stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles following World War I. This amount was later revised to reparations of 50 billion gold marks, but the actual payments and negotiations evolved over the years, with Germany ultimately paying a significant portion until the payments were concluded in the mid-20th century. The reparations were a source of significant economic strain and social unrest in Germany during the interwar period.
After world war one countries from all over the world held a peace conference in paris. (Germany was not invited) the countries decided that it was Germany's fault for causing WW1 and they had caused the most damage during this period. they then forced Germany to sign the treaty of Versailles. in this document it said that Germany must pay reparations for their actions etc.
Great Britain received reparations primarily through the Treaty of Versailles after World War I, where Germany was required to pay a total of 132 billion gold marks, equivalent to about £6.6 billion at that time. However, the actual payments received by Britain and its allies were significantly lower due to Germany's economic difficulties and the eventual renegotiation of reparations in the 1920s and 1930s. The Dawes Plan and later the Young Plan restructured Germany's payments, leading to different amounts being received over time. Ultimately, the economic strain and political instability in Germany limited the reparations that Great Britain could collect.
Germany because their government, the Weimar Republic, signed the Treaty of Versailles, blaming Germany for all of WWI and making them pay reparations.

Reparations after World War I, specifically in the Treaty of Versailles, were initially set at 132 billion gold marks (approximately $33 billion at the time). However, the exact amount and terms were subject to negotiations and adjustments over time, leading to significant economic strain on Germany. In the interwar years, these reparations were eventually reduced through the Dawes Plan and later the Young Plan.

After World War II, Germany was required to make reparations to the Allied nations as part of the agreements established in the aftermath of the conflict. These payments were meant to compensate for the destruction and suffering caused by the war. Additionally, the economic burden of rebuilding the country and addressing the damages exacerbated Germany's financial challenges. Over time, however, these reparations and economic constraints contributed to a significant restructuring of Germany's economy.
