The history of the imminent collapse of the Qing Dynasty in modern times is shocking, with hundreds of millions of reparations at every turn, endless signing of unequal treaties on the cession of land, and signing at least nearly 30 before and after. The reparations were even greater, and the earliest Treaty of Nanking consisted of thirteen articles. Among them, the compensation is 21 million silver dollars, the cession of land and a series of other matters. The Treaty of Beijing was divided into treaties between different countries, and the reparations with Britain amounted to eight million taels, plus a pension of 500,000 taels.
Looking at the Maguan Treaty, the reparations reached 200 million taels of silver, and the reparations of the Xin ugly treaty were more and more, at least more than 980 million taels of silver. However, some of these parts were not completed and were completely abolished after 1949. In fact, in that era, not only one Qing Dynasty signed treaties, but even Japan signed some treaties. But the difference is that the Qing Dynasty was forced to beat, and after the fight, it was reparations, in fact, there was no difference between robbery.
However, if you calculate the reparations alone, the country with the most reparations in the world is not the Qing Dynasty. Instead, Germany, the amount of their reparations has reached at least 1 trillion yuan, and it has not been lost in the 21st century. Germany's reparations came from two world wars, the First World War, which took place from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. Before the war, There were contradictions between Germany and France and Britain, and Germany did not want France to make a comeback. Britain, on the other hand, did not want either Germany or Russia to be strong, and the two were at odds with each other in the colonies.
On the other hand, there are also contradictions between Russia and austria-Hungary, under the long-term conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy three countries formed an alliance, Russia and France and Britain naturally will not sit idly by, in 1892, first France and Russia reached an agreement, no matter who the two sides are attacked by Germany or Italy and Austria-Hungary, the other country will support each other with all its military strength. Shortly thereafter, the British joined them.
On June 28, 1914, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary was killed in Sarajevo, and a month later, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Then Germany and other countries joined the war, and the First World War broke out. But the end result was that the Allies lost, and on November 11, 1918, Germany surrendered, and World War I officially ended. After the surrender, Germany faced huge reparations, according to the agreement, it needed to compensate 226 billion marks, and had to pay for it in gold.
Later, it was reduced, and in 1921 the amount was set at 132 billion marks. This heavy reparations weighed heavily on the German economy, which was forced to admit that it had waged the war and was responsible for the losses of all the victorious powers. The rise to power of the Nazi Party made Germany strong, and in 1935 Hitler tore up the Treaty of Versailles and stopped repaying it. But then Germany launched World War II, the same tragic loss, and the reparations had to continue, the Germans also attached more importance to credit, insisted on compensation.
In fact, it was difficult for Germany to pay back at the beginning, and the reparations were far more than 132 billion. In 1953, when the Soviet Union transferred $4.292 billion in compensation owed by Germany, the Soviet Union said that East Germany had paid $4.292 billion. In 1960, it signed a stay agreement with other victorious powers to continue to compensate, including Greece received 115 million marks, as well as the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and other countries also received compensation. In the 1970s, Germany paid Poland 1.4 billion marks, and when the 2+4 Treaty was signed, Germany gave the Soviet Union another 18 billion marks.
The compensation time is very long, in addition to cash, there are also various kinds of gifts in kind. It has been calculated that by 1993, Germany had compensated countries with a total of 90,493 million marks, including many devices. World War I reparations were not repaid until October 3, 2010, when Germany would give France 68.7 million euros. Since its defeat in World War I, Germany has finally paid off its reparations in 92 years. However, there are also scattered Reparations from World War II, and countries such as Greece have been demanding reparations and loans from Germany since 2015. It has to be said that Germany's attitude is much better than that of another aggressor.
