Original: Under the Dawes Plan, Germany paid only 1 billion marks in 1924, and then increasing large sums for the next three years, until the total was to rise to 2 and quarter billion by 1927. After 1927, Germany was to make an annual payment of 2 and half billion marks.
Simplified: Under this new plan, Germany paid 1 billion marks in 1924 and reached the total of 2.25 billion by 1927.
