Apocalypse World War 2: Severe German Inflation, Thieves Take Suitcase and Leave Money!
For the first time, try to make a sequence of the most terrible events in the world to date, the biggest war and including the one that caused the most casualties to date, namely the second world war between the Axis bloc led by Germany, Japan and Italy and their allies who captured Britain, France, the Soviet Union, America and several other countries.
The biggest tragedy to date is still worthy of discussion and even has something to do with current conflicts, namely the aftermath of the conflict in the second world war.
For example, the wars in Ukraine, Vietnam, Afghanistan and the conflicts that occurred in the Middle East almost all refer to the dark tragedy that preceded that event. Try to describe the apocalypse or revelation of secrets, revelations and information sequentially or put together in a frame (perhaps not in date because it would be more difficult) but in a continuous sequence from beginning to end.
Hopefully it can be done well!
The early years in Germany after the end of the first world war
The chaos that occurred in the first world war between 1914 finally ended on November 11, 1918, the great war which was nicknamed the end of the war to end all wars which involved around 70 million soldiers with more than 9 million of them dying, ended with a devastating defeat for the central camp, especially for the German Empire as the main country in which the war took place.
The country of Germany, which before the war was known as the country with the largest economy in Europe, was ultimately unable to face the various heavy burdens it had to bear after being defeated in the great war, causing very severe hyperinflation, the prices of goods including the basic needs of the country's population at that time rose very sharply due to the rate of increase in the daily inflation rate reaching 21 percent every day.
Money is very useful for lighting people's stoves so they can continue cooking because the price of wood is much more expensive than money itself. Several reasons why this country is experiencing hyperinflation are explained by Business Insider, BBC, Deutschland.de and a number of other sources as follows:
1). Germany's defeat caused this country to have to pay reparations to a number of countries that won the war.
2). The winning country of the war prohibited Germany from paying reparation costs using its own currency, aka the Papiemark.
3). This policy required Germany to exchange their currency for other currencies until when the payment terms were due, the German government created as much currency as possible to be exchanged for foreign currency.
4). This German step made German money even more ruined and made the papiemark worthless in front of the German people at that time.
5). Hyperinflation continued to gnaw at Germany for decades until its peak in 1923, the Weimar government almost collapsed, hit by a continuous flood of paper money, which, as a sad picture to imagine, is for example the price of a loaf of bread in January 1923 was 250 marks, rising in November 1923 to 240 million marks.
5 reasons that arose because of the Great War and this was actually not only Germany itself which experienced this because almost all participants in the First World War were known to be affected by the war.
Germany was so unique and sad at that time that because of the large amount of money in circulation, German people used suitcases to store the money, as the country was in chaos, theft often occurred, several Germans admitted that they had left their suitcases on their way home from work from work to home and then searched again for the suitcases and were finally able to find the money again, but the suitcases were gone!
A unique but sad story about how a war can ultimately change a thief's principles about money, hopefully there will be no more big wars like the two previous world wars because in reality a war does not produce any benefits for today except for being history that can be discussed, if someone says that various very useful sophisticated inventions were born because of war, that cannot be a justification because there are also many inventions and sophisticated tools useful for society that were created during times of peace.
