Question

to pay reparations after world war i, germany
asked the united states to repay debts to germany.
printed more money.
raised taxes on its residents.
increased prices for food and goods.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "asked the United States to repay debts to Germany": After WWI, the US was owed money by allies like Britain and France, who owed Germany? No, Germany owed reparations. So this is incorrect.
• "printed more money": Germany, to pay reparations, resorted to printing more currency. This led to hyperinflation. This is a correct action taken by Germany to pay reparations (even though it had negative consequences).
• "raised taxes on its residents": While raising taxes could be a way, the primary and well - known method Germany used was printing money, not mainly raising taxes, so this is not the best answer.
• "increased prices for food and goods": Increasing prices was a result of hyperinflation (caused by printing money), not a direct action to pay reparations.

Answer:

B. printed more money
