*WORLD WAR 1 GERMANY*

*In responding to one of the comments about my recent Hub about Congressman
Ron Paul's Presidential campaign I recounted a story told to me a number of
years ago by an old Austrian fellow describing his experience visiting
Berlin during the 1923 - 24 hyperinflation in Germany. Following Germany's
defeat in World War I, the government collapsed, the Kaiser (king) was
forced to abdicate and a left of center, socialist style government was
established. The economy and the country were in shambles following the loss
of the war and the new government of, what historians refer to as the Weimar
Republic, attempted to work its way out of the mess by printing money.*
