- Goods and services: Germany was required to provide coal, coke, iron ore, and other goods to the Allied Powers. It also had to rebuild infrastructure in the Allied countries that had been damaged during the war.
- Financial payments: Germany was required to make cash payments to the Allied Powers. These payments were to be spread out over a period of 30 years.
- Territorial concessions: Germany lost territory to the Allied Powers as a result of the war. This included the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to France, Eupen-Malmédy to Belgium, North Schleswig to Denmark, and West Prussia, Posen, and Upper Silesia to Poland.
The total amount of reparations that Germany paid was estimated to be around 132 billion gold marks, or about $33 billion. This was a huge burden on the German economy and contributed to the country's economic problems in the 1920s and 1930s.
The reparations issue was a major source of resentment in Germany. Many Germans felt that the reparations were too harsh and that they were being punished for a war that they had not started. This resentment was one of the factors that led to the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany and to the outbreak of World War II.
The reparations issue was finally resolved in 1953, when Germany reached an agreement with the Allied Powers to pay off the remaining debt.
