why did Germany printed marks

Question

why did the german printed out too much marks after world war I

Answer 1

It has been argued that the hyperinflation of 1920s Germany was fostered by the government in order to wipe out domestic debt accrued during the First World War, citing the apparent ease with which the currency was changed.Terms imposed by the Versailles Treaty included Germany losing a certain amount of its territory to a number of surrounding countries, being stripped of all its overseas and African colonies, and its ability to make war again was limited by restrictions on the size of its military. Germany also acknowledged and agreed to respect the independence of Austria. Germany's foreign minister, Hermann Müller, undersigned it on June 28, 1919. The treaty was ratified by the League of Nations on January 10, 1920. In Germany the treaty caused shock and humiliation which contributed to the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933 and Adolf Hitler's rise to power.Yo! Check this out!

因第一次世界大戰德國戰敗,被協約國分區佔領,由於魯爾被法國佔領,德國經濟陷入了癱瘓,總理古諾又推動消極抵抗政策,而消極抵抗政策更把國家財政拖到了破產的邊緣.

最後總理古諾下台,施特萊斯曼接任總理,施特萊斯曼政府要解決的第一個問題是為"消極抵抗"政策善後,為了 賠償參加"消極抵抗"企業的損失,政府不得不在每天向該地區注入數十億馬克的款項,因此須大量發行馬克,由上述原因引發了達到天文數字的通貨膨脹,經濟的危機引發了國內政局的 極度動盪.
當時德國馬克快速貶值,其對美元的兌換率一度到達1億多馬克兌換1美元的價位,馬克幾乎成為廢紙.
