First World War officially ends this Sunday

The final payment of £59.5 million, writes off the crippling debt that was the price for one world war and laid the foundations for another.

Germany was forced to pay the reparations at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 as compensation to the war-ravaged nations of Belgium and France and to pay the Allies some of the costs of waging what was then the bloodiest conflict in history, leaving nearly ten million soldiers dead.

The initial sum agreed upon for war damages in 1919 was 226 billion Reichsmarks, a sum later reduced to 132 billion, £22 billion at the time.

The bill would have been settled much earlier had Adolf Hitler not reneged on reparations during his reign.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
