The Great War

An interesting fact for you..the First World War will officially come to an end this Sunday when Germany pays off the last instalment of its war reparations.

According to German newspaper Bild, a final payment of £59.5 million will end Germany’s war debt and tie up the final, unfinished piece of business left over from the Great War. Bild said today: “On Sunday, the last bill is due and the First World War finally, financially at least, terminates for Germany.”

The reparations, meant to compensate war-torn Belgium and France, began again after the Second World War and will be cleared when the final payment is made on Sunday, 3 October.
