Why did the Allies, apart from the United States, seek large reparations from Germany, and how did Germany feel about it?

Reparations were levied on Germany to compensate the allies for some of the war costs. they were meant to replace war indemnities which had be levied after earlier wars and a punitive measure as well as to compensate for economic losses. when Germany began to pay back the other countries, the allies found the imports competing with domestically produced gold and services. they took measures to prevent Germany from honoring its obligations.

there are 3 factors that determine the amount of reparations:
1) the national wealth or national income of the defeated country.

2) the ability of either the occupying powers or the government of the defeated country to organize the economy for payment of reparations.

3) the capacity of the victors to organize their economies for the production while use of repetition receipts.

it took Germany 92 years to pay off their debt. the suspended their gold standard, and they financed the reparations by borrowing. the marks value tumbled. hyperinflation soon rocked their country. their were protests in Parliament and on the streets. they were humiliated, for they had to accept the blame and limit their armed forces. they had to pay US$23 billion.
