German war reparations
TIL: Even after German reunification and more than 90 years after ww1 ended, Germany still had to pay war reparations. They only paid the final amount in 2010! This meant that they were almost done paying and then the 2008 financial crisis hit, plunging them even deeper into dept and financial instability. A cruel twist of hilarious fate. Oh and Greece borrowed a shit ton from them so that didn’t help.
