There 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.

Germany 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...
