Answer 1

The correct response is **wartime reparations and hyperinflation**. After World War I, Germany was required to pay significant reparations as part of the Treaty of Versailles. The economic burden of these reparations, coupled with poor economic policies and the printing of money to pay off debts, led to hyperinflation in the early 1920s, severely damaging the German economy and leading to widespread poverty and instability.
