d. wartime reparations and hyperinflation

After World War I, Germany was required to pay massive reparations to the Allied powers as part of the Treaty of Versailles. This, coupled with the hyperinflation that occurred as the German government printed more money to try to pay off its debts, led to a significant devaluation of the German currency. As a result, the German economy suffered greatly, with high unemployment rates and widespread poverty.
