After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles imposed reparations on Germany, requiring it to pay 132 billion gold marks (approximately $33 billion at the time) to the Allied powers. These reparations aimed to compensate for war damages and were a significant source of economic hardship for Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s, contributing to hyperinflation and social unrest. The burden of reparations and the economic instability they caused played a role in the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Ultimately, the reparations were reduced and later canceled in the 1930s, especially after the onset of World War II.
