post-war reparations

Post-war reparations are payments or compensations that a defeated nation is required to make to the victors after a conflict. They aim to address damages caused during the war, such as destruction, loss of life, or economic disruption. These reparations can take the form of money, goods, or resources and are often negotiated in peace treaties. They serve both as a way to help the harmed nations recover and as a deterrent to future conflicts. However, reparations can also lead to tensions if they are viewed as overly harsh or unfair.
