The economic impact of World War One
In early 1919 the victorious Allies met to discuss how to punish Germany and on 28 June 1919 the new German government was forced to sign a peace settlement called the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty blamed Germany for the war and punished her militarily, territorially and financially. This impacted enormously on the German economy and led to an economic crisis in 1923.
Blame - Germany was forced to accept the blame for starting the war under article 231 of the treaty, known as the War Guilt Clause.
Reparations - Germany was to be made to pay for the damage suffered by Britain and France during the war. In 1922 the amount to be paid was set at £6.6 billion.
Armed Forces - Germany’s army and navy were significantly reduced in size and its air force abolished:
it was allowed a maximum of 100,000 troops in the armyconscription was bannedno tanks were allowedits navy was reduced to 15,000it was allowed only 6 battleships, and no submarines
Territory - Germany lost land on all sides of its borders as well as its overseas colonies (other countries under Germany’s control).
