Who would I blame had I lived at the time? I might blame the Weimar Government. If they had managed the country’s finances with any competence at all there is no way they should have suffered such losses. Did they not understand that you cannot just pump out more money to pay off debt?

The other group one might point a finger at is the Allies. Their financial demands could have had no effect but to cripple the German economy. Had they not forced the government to pay such high reparations for the damages incurred in the war then the economy could have been saved.

Any way you look at it the effect was devastating, and I would be very angry, probably with both parties. Selling family heirlooms is something that no one would enjoy doing, especially when it’s for a basic necessity such as food. Selling off things holocaust timeline that have been in your family for a long time tells us a lot about the desperate situation in Germany at the time, things like this, irreplaceable things, are not things you pawn off because you want money. They are things you sell because you need money.

In desperate situations people do desperate things and under very desperate conditions, such as in Germany at the time I am sure canadian currency there must have been other problems caused by the money problems. Such as violence, crime and suicide, which are things that often accompany hardships, such at those incurred by the Germans at this time.

How ever you look at it Germany at the time is not a place I would like to be. If placed in a situation like this I don’t really know what I’d do, I guess just what ever I had to do to stay afloat in the world.

1) The Allies were more than fair by not taking complete control of Germany and it’s economy

2) The Allies are allowing Germany enough military force to maintain order, and protect the independence of Germany

3) The Allies forced Germany to compensate only civilian damages, not military, as these damages were unreasonable

Against:

1) This treaty effectively cripples the German overseas economy

2) Germany has the right to move supplies between Prussia and Germany without being harassed by Polish forces, inspectors and most importantly taxes holocaust timeline

3) A reduction of military forces gives Germany little sway in economic talks

4) No air force or naval power leaves Germany open to foreign invasion, and it will cost money to get rid of these forces

5) The allies will discuss compensation levels, Germany will not represent itself
