Next time a country complains about how hard it is to develop itself or complains about debt or trouble paying it off, look at Germany.
Crippled by reparations from being the loser in two world wars, being bombed to hell with their entire industry mostly destroyed, being split in half with half oppressed by Communism...is today the biggest economy in Europe.
However, I do wonder how much is due to Germany itself and how much is due to monetary influx from the West propping up West Germany against the Iron Curtain?
