At the end of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles was placed to punish Germany for causing a war that involved more than one nation. Although it was some what harsh for blaming everything on Germany, Germany still had to pay for the war and take out loans on other nations. After World War I was over, America went into a Great Depression right before World War II, which did not help anyone because not only did it affect American people, but also Germany who were taking loans. Today we are in War with Iraq and are having financial problems. War is very expensive for both sides, especially if one side is helping another country financially. Money troubles come into play when we need it most for wars, and no one knows when we will come out of it until someone either pulls out of war or the war ends and a country finds a way to benefit off of something to bring their country's stocks back up.
