After the end of WWI, the Treaty of Versailles was signed by the Allied Powers and forced upon Germany. In this treaty, Germany had to take full responsibility for starting the war and were forced to pay reparations. A reparation is an amount of money a country/individual must pay for damages they have caused. In this case, Germany had to pay for the damage they caused in other countries during World War I. The cost of these reparations were very expensive, leading to the rapid decline of the German economy.

I would think most "Americans" are lazy and are just looking for a way out of taking the blame for why the u.s. is spiraling downward and so would a few other people but probably Most people in the country today would define an American as an independent and self reliant individual with strong family ties and strong loyalties to groups, individuality and individual rights.
hope this helps :p
