Answer 1

The primary cause of Germany’s economy suffering after World War I was wartime reparations and hyperinflation. The Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations on Germany, which strained the economy. Additionally, to meet these reparations payments and address economic challenges, the German government began printing large amounts of money, leading to hyperinflation in the early 1920s. This resulted in the devaluation of the German mark and significant economic turmoil.
