First sentence: In the early 1980s and especially between 1982 and 1984, almost all indebted countries of the third world as well as of the Eastern European bloc were forced to declare some form of moratorium on debt servicing, and to start negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and/or the private banks for the rescheduling of their debts.
