Answer 1

Germany’s economy suffered after World War I primarily due to wartime reparations and hyperinflation. The Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations on Germany, leading to economic strain and contributing to hyperinflation in the early 1920s. This made the German currency virtually worthless and caused widespread economic hardship.
