Some of the terms of the War Guilt Clause were that Germany was to be fined so as never to be able to have the funds to start a war again. The Reparations were so high that Germany was not even able to pay off the interest on it. It left them broke and lifeless. to make matters even worse, when Germany couldn't pull together the money, other countries stormed in and took whatever raw materials they could find.
Why did Germany ever agree to pay the fines? why didn't they try and fight back when they could? and what would have happened?
