Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The United States' role in the international collection of reparations after World War I was the following.

As a consequence of the destruction caused during World War 1, Germany had to pay reparations to other countries affected. Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles in Paris, France, and an international commission for reparations was created. According to the Commission, Germany had to pay 33 billion in reparations. In September 1921, Germany paid $251 million but an economic crisis impeded it to continue with the payments. Then, the United States intervened with a solution: the Dawes Plan. It was proposed by American banker and diplomat Charles Dawes to end with the Allied occupation of Germany. Dawes shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925.
