just like germany paid off its debts post ww1 and ww2?
- oldmanjay 11y agoHalf of the country got to suffer under the yoke of the USSR for half a century. The debt is paid.
- peterfirefly 11y agoThere shouldn't have been /any/ debt after WWI (except to Belgium, who didn't ask to be a battle field in the self defense of Germany). Russia, France, Britain, and the US should have paid reparations to Germany, not the other way around. Why? Because Germany /didn't/ start the war. It just ended up as one of the losers. Germany had huge territorial losses after both wars, parts of Germany were under forceful occupation for a long time afterwards, and they paid heavily in terms of manufacturing equipment and money afterwards. I'd say they paid.
- r0naa 11y agoGermany declared war on Russia and France, on August 1st and 3rd respectively. Not sure what you mean by: > Why? Because Germany /didn't/ start the war. It just ended up as one of the losers. It also didn't blame Germany for starting the war but for the damage caused by German troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_231_of_the_Treaty_of_Versailles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_231_of_the_Treaty_of_V...
