The answer is <u>he pardoned the former American President Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed in office.</u>
In 1972, President Richard Nixon was accused of being involved in the Water Scandal and was in trouble with American justice. Two years later, he decided to resign and Gerald Ford automatically assumed the presidency. Ford immediately used his power to issue the <em>Proclamation 4311</em> and pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while President. He justified his decision before Congress alleging that the pardon was in the best interests of the country because a drawn-out trial would only polarize the public even more.
This decision of him was highly controversial and harshly criticized by many Americans that wanted to see Nixon brought to justice.
According to the treaty of versellias Germany was expected to pay the damages in world war 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Treaty of Versellias was signed in 1919. The treat required Germany to pay almost 33 billion US dollars for reparations and covering the civilian damage done in the war. Germany was considered to be the cause of World War 1 and so had to pay a heavy debt or fine for the same.
Germany was however not in a condition to pay such a huge sum and the payment meant a financial crisis for the economy of Germany. The Treaty was also considered to be a cause of the Second World War.
