Answer 1

The problem caused by the war that was addressed by requiring Germany to pay huge reparations is **the massive war debts of European countries**. The reparations were intended to hold Germany financially responsible for the destruction and costs incurred during World War I, which in turn was seen as a way to help stabilize the war-torn economies of other European nations.
