The Treaty of Versailles (signed in 1919) and the 1921 London Schedule of Payments required Germany to pay 132 billion gold marks (US$33 billion) in reparations to cover civilian damage caused during the war
Adjusted for inflation, $33,000,000,000.00 in 1930 is equal to $493,031,511,627.91 in 2020. Annual inflation over this period was 3.05%.
Yeah, good luck with that.
China is holding over 1 trillion in our debt, it wouldn’t be a total settlement but it would be a nice down payment if we just nationalized it
BFD..Kinda like blood from a rock theory
A trillion here and a trillion there and soon enough China will pay attention. All affected nations should get together and sue China for 100 trillion dollars
Read the fine print. The payment won’t be in cash. It will be in cooks and houseboys like Hop Sing, the guy from Bachelor Father and Mrs. Livinigston in the Courtship of Eddie’s Father.
Good luck with that one. They have about as much likelihood of recovering anything as if they sued The last bum on skid row.
