wartime reparations and hyperinflation

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, which burdened the economy and led to widespread economic instability. Additionally, the government resorted to printing more money to pay off these debts, resulting in hyperinflation during the early 1920s, which destroyed the value of the German currency and further exacerbated economic difficulties.
