It’s Over, Over There: World War I Ends With The Payment of Final Reparations By Germany

Germany is finally in the black. On Sunday, Germany paid off the last of the reparations set 92 years ago after the end of World War I. The final £60 million installment of the £22 billion debt was paid off pursuant to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.

The bill was originally 226 billion Reichsmarks, but was later reduced to 132 billion — or what was calculated to be the equivalent of £22 billion at the time. Ten million died as a result of the war.

Now, the world can focus on reparations for releasing the devastation of liverwurst on the world.
