Question
what are reparations and why was germany the only ones stuck paying them? *
your answer
Reparations are payments made by a country that lost a war (usually) to cover damages/injuries caused during the conflict. After WWI, the Treaty of Versailles held Germany (and its allies) responsible for the war, and due to the political and economic situation post - war, Germany was the main target for these payments. The Allies (especially France, UK) pushed for Germany to pay as they saw Germany as the aggressor, and other Central Powers either collapsed (like Austria - Hungary) or were less capable of paying, so Germany was left as the primary payer.

Reparations are payments by a defeated country (like Germany after WWI) to cover war - related damages/losses. Germany was the main payer post - WWI because the Treaty of Versailles blamed it (and its allies) for the war; other Central Powers were weak/collapsed, so Germany, seen as the aggressor, was forced to bear most of the reparations burden.
