Answer: Some advantages and disadvantages of the reparations Germany paid at the end of World War I was paying the money back, causing them to fall into debt. Another disadvantage was the Germany had to make their army smaller and give away the control of territories they had. I think it was necessary because it’s fair.

With the end of the First World War, it was decided, through the Treaty of Versailes, that Germany, as the war-losing country, should pay a sum of money equivalent to 132 billion gold marks to the winning countries, in addition, Germany it would be forced to decrease its army drastically and lose the dominion of territories. The amount paid by Germany generated many advantages for the winning countries, which were able to rebuild and move their economy, however, it was very disadvantageous for Germany, which because of this huge debt, suffered several socioeconomic poverty.

The Versailes Treaty was very strict with Germany, which also needed money to recover. This exploration contributed to a feeling of revanchism in the Germans, who began to believe that the problems they were experiencing were caused by the winning nations of the First War. This feeling was what stimulated the beginning of the Second World War, by Germany.
