Neveeeer ^^Well France would never invade a North American country because of unpaid debts, right? Though more amusingly the ghosts of the French Revolution might be very amused at the irony of the nascent United States reneging on its debts to France and then having to pay up to get their own indemnity paid off.
Besides, it could be seen in Paris, as well in London, as an opportunity to slip into a position of strength on the American markets at reduced cost. It's like an investor buying depressed shares, knowing well that once they bounce back, they'll get a return far beyond their initial deposit. It looks to me as if the American market, its banks and industries, because of the issues of money supply, the currency rampant devaluation and the severe contraction in domestic lending capacities on top of the war indemnities leaves it incredibly vulnerable to the vultures sitting on the boards of British and French banks.
Let's hope this won't end like Germany having to deal with the burden of Versailles treaty reparations.
