Judaism as the faith of the Jews is the first monotheistic religion in history. Believes in one God, unlike the polytheistic religions of that time, which the peoples surrounding the Jews had. There are, however, similarities, both because of the mutual influence and interweaving of these peoples, and because of some primal beliefs that all of them had. It was common to believe that everyone believed that God or gods was/were the creator/creators of the world, that He/they rule the world, decide the destiny and the outcome of many events of the people. They also believed in life after death.

Philippi was the first “European” city that Paul evangelized as he came across from Asia Minor. Arriving at the port the port of Philippi in Macedonia, Paul and Silas went right to work evangelizing. One of their first Converts was Lydia, a wealthy woman from Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth. Other converts followed. And here is where we pick up the story.
Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future (Spirit of Prophecy). She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.
When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.”
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. (Acts 16:16-24).

Answer:
The amount of reparations Germany was required to pay, arguably set the stage for world war II.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles set the stage for World War II in many ways: The peace settlement of the League of Nations blamed Germany for most things including starting the war and Germany was angry causing Germany to get back at them.
Most importantly, Article 231 of the treaty placed all blame for inciting the war squarely on Germany, and forced it to pay several billion in reparations to the Allied nations.
