Responses:

Answer 1

"The country faced severe economic problems."

Brief reason: Germany suffered hyperinflation (1923), huge reparations burdens, and political/economic instability in the early 1920s. Although there was a partial recovery in the mid-to-late 1920s, the decade is best characterized by those severe economic difficulties.
