The United States's recession was for only seven months and eventually lead to the Great Depression in 1929. On the other hand, Germany was much harder due to their debts that are needed to be paid and that was because of the Treaty of Versailles that obliged the Germany to pay the Allied Powers its debt.

After World War 1 the US economy was much better off than that of Germany. The main reason for this was the fact that thee economy of Germany was in huge inflation while the one of the US was recuperating after the war and followed by a horrible recession later on.
