Quagmire Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It would have been a lot sooner, but Hitler refused to pay up during his time in power.No surprises there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester_UK Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 What happened in 1990? I was in Africa at that time and only got back to the UK in 2000. I thought that reperations for WW2 weren't considered for inclusion in the peace treaty in 1945 due to the damage those from WW1 had caused? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 5, 2010 Members Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't know why reparations weren't seriously negotiated, but the four major allies agreed to the reunification and a contract which de facto is a peace treaty for WW2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia's giant leap forward in technology I guess. check out pics of them creating those many canals in the 20's and 30's that Stalin demanded be built -- frigin caveman equipment for a 20th century job, built on the bones of prison labor. good times... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
