Answer 1

Germany's economy suffered after World War I primarily due to **wartime reparations and hyperinflation**. The Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations payments on Germany, which strained its economy significantly. Additionally, the need to pay these reparations led to hyperinflation, particularly in the early 1920s, as the government printed excessive amounts of money to meet its obligations. This resulted in a dramatic decline in the value of the German Mark and widespread economic instability.
