A. wartime reparations and hyperinflation
After World War I, Germany was forced to pay significant reparations as part of the Treaty of Versailles. This, coupled with the hyperinflation that occurred in the early 1920s, severely weakened the German economy. The reparations and hyperinflation led to a period of economic instability and hardship in Germany, contributing to its suffering economy.
