Why did Major George Washington and his troops surrender at Fort Necessity?

Washington, with no hope of reinforcement, signed the surrender (written in French) not realizing that it was also a confession to having "assassinated" Louis's half-brother at the Battle of Jumonville Glen; the two battles in the woods did much to solidify each side's commitment to war.

this means that germany had to pay the allied countries. reparations are/is essentially payment for something that they have done wrong, so after ww1, germany was forced to pay reparations so they could replenish the allied countries resources' that they had lost during the war.
