Answer 1

C. the demand for reparations from Germany

The demand for reparations imposed on Germany after World War I is widely considered one of the key factors that contributed to the conditions leading to World War II. The economic strain and humiliation caused by these reparations fostered resentment in Germany, contributing to the rise of extremist political movements, including the Nazi Party, which ultimately aimed to overturn the Treaty of Versailles and revive German nationalism.
