wartime reparations
Victor's demanded compensation
Wartime reparations are payments or compensation that a defeated nation is required to make to victorious nations after a war, intended to cover damages and costs inflicted during the conflict.
The term often evokes the punishing payments imposed on Germany after World War I, which many historians argue contributed to economic instability and the rise of Nazism.
Reparations may take the form of money, goods, or territory: The treaty demanded billions in wartime reparations.
