Question

Write a short paragraph defining the terms armistice and reparations and discussing their significance for Germany at the end of world war 1?

Answer 1

Armistice is an agreement to stop fighting and reparations are the payments that the loser has to pay to the victor to cover the war costs. Germany had accepted their defeat, and as a result, the Germans overthrew the government and created a social democracy and agree to sign an armistice with the allies. As the losers, they were required to pay reparations for the war, and this hatred fueled WW2 later on.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Armistice is an agreement to stop fighting or end a conflict. On the other hand, reparations are the payments that are made by the losers to the winning side to cover the costs of war. After the Germans had accepted their defeat, the government was overthrown and a social democracy was created. So they agreed to sign an armistice with the allies as a sign of defeat. The armistice was signed that ended the war. During the Versailles conference in 1919, the reparations was the key issue for the discussion of which the German Empire was called upon to pay debts to the allied victors. As the losers, they were required to pay reparations for the war, and this hatred fueled World War II later on.
