普法战争赔款后果辨析

Analysis of the Franco-Prussian War Indemnity's Consequence

普法战后,俾斯麦欲用巨额赔款彻底压垮法国。但赔款后并未出现法国经济一蹶不振而德国经济迅速腾飞的明显变化。50亿法郎赔款数额虽大,但法国通过发行国债支付了其90%,并以外贸净出口收入将其很快偿还;赔款对德国经济虽有一定刺激作用,但由此带来的贸易逆差,几乎使其所得全部损失。虽然巨额赔款带给交战国的经济影响事与愿违,却产生了得不偿失的政治后果,即"战争再起"的民族仇恨。

Bismarck tried to use huge 5 billion francs indemnity to overwhelm the French after The Franco-Prussian War. But there was no obvious trend showed that France＇s economy was destroyed and Germany＇ s economic take-off rapidly after the indemnity was paid. Although 5 billion francs indemnity is a hugh amount, but the French government raised 4.5 bil- lion francs by issuing national bonds actively, And these national bonds was filled back by France＇ s foreign trade export revenues in next few years. 5 billion francs indemnity does have some simulative effect to the German economy, but its re- suiting trade deficit also allowed some German＇ s foreign assets got from reparations to be lost in the process. Through the massive indemnity did not achieve the purpose of Germany wants to overwhelm the French; it give the reason to French to seek their revenge by contraries.
