Answer: D) Requirements to pay reparations to the allies
Explanation: Germany, together with Austria Hungary and Turkey, as defeated states in the First World War, were obliged to pay war damage and reparations to the Allied states, above all Germany as the culprit for the initiated war. It only intensified the already bad economic situation, and after the minor part, which Austria and Turkey paid, most reparations were cancelled. Germany was still flagged as the main culprit and it was expected to pay for war compensation, especially due to the tension between Germany and France.
