Y
Young Plan: A plan for reorganizing Germany's WWI reparation payments. The plan named for Owen D. Young, an Amnerican businessman. It
also established a Bank for International Settlements to handle the payments. Many Germans complained the Young Plan would enslave their
unborn children and grandchildren to this bank for generations. These fears and resentments, combined with the stock market crash later in the
year, did much to enforce Hitler and his movement. In 1934, after Hitler came to power, the war-debt agreements totally collapsed and no
further payments were made by any nation.
