Answer 1

The correct response is **wartime reparations and hyperinflation**. After World War I, Germany was burdened with heavy reparations payments as outlined in the Treaty of Versailles. This, combined with economic mismanagement and other factors, led to hyperinflation in the early 1920s, resulting in severe economic instability and hardship for the German population.
