Hi,

Your answer:
Not only has the debt incurred by Germany outside the two world wars been reduced by more than 60%, but the settlement of war debts and the payment of reparations to civilian victims and states has been postponed indefinitely : in fact, to the German reunification that took place in 1990 and to the peace treaty that was signed in Moscow the same year between the authorities of the two Germanys being unified, the United States, the USSR, the United Kingdom United Kingdom and France. The burden of reparations on the German economy has therefore been long deferred. And in the case of the reparations due to Greece, these did not represent the slightest effort on the part of Germany since the German authorities refuse to follow up the Greek requests.

Unlike what happened after the first world war, the Western powers wanted after the Second World War to avoid burdening Germany with the weight of unsustainable repayments because they considered that had favored the accession of the Nazi regime to power. Western powers also wanted an economically strong (but unarmed and militarily occupied) West Germany against the Soviet Union and its allies. There is nothing like this with Greece and the other countries of the Periphery in the European Union.

In order to achieve this goal, not only has the burden of debt been greatly reduced, and economic aid in the form of grants has been granted to Germany, but above all it has been allowed to pursue an economic policy that is entirely favorable to its redeployment. The large private industrial groups were able to consolidate themselves, those who had played a key role in the military adventure of the First World War, in support of the Nazis, in the genocide of the Jews, Gypsies ..., in the spoliation occupied or annexed countries, in the military production and the gigantic logistical effort of the Second World War. Germany has been able to develop impressive public infrastructures, it has been able to support its industries in order to satisfy local demand and to conquer external markets. Germany has even been allowed to repay a large part of its debt in its national currency. To make this concrete, it is enough to think about the situation that followed the 1953 London Agreement. Germany, for example, reimburses Belgium and France for part of its debts in the inter-war period in German marks. . These German marks which had no interest in trade with the rest of the world, Belgians and French tried to get rid of it quickly by buying goods and equipment provided by the German economy and helped to redo Germany a great exporting power.

Good bye ;)
