Germany was required to pay reparations as part of the Treaty of Versailles, which concluded World War I in 1919. The treaty imposed heavy financial burdens on Germany, amounting to approximately 132 billion gold marks, alongside territorial losses and military restrictions. This economic strain contributed to widespread resentment and hardship within Germany, ultimately fueling political instability and the rise of extremist movements, including the Nazis.
