The Hague conference on reparations was held between 1929 and 1930. It was an international conference on World War I reparations (the Central Powers agreed to pay war reparations to the Allied Powers). It was the final attempt during the Weimar Republic to settle the issues surrounding the World War I reparations obligations, and to review and adopt the Young Plan negociated in Paris from February to June 1929 under the leadership of American businessman and economist Owen D. Young. Delegates of the affected governments then completed and adopted the plan at the The Hague conference.
