The Mellon-Berenger Agreement (or Accord Mellon-Bérenger) (29 April 1926) was an agreement on the amount and rate of repayment of France's debt to the United States arising from loans and payments in kind made during World War I (1914-1918), both before and after the armistice with Germany. The agreement greatly reduced the amount owing by France, with relatively easy payment terms. However, it was deeply unpopular in France, whose people felt that the United States should waive the debt in light of the huge losses of life and material damage that France had suffered, or at least link payments to reparations from Germany. Ratification by the French parliament was delayed until July 1929. The Great Depression began soon after. In the end, little of the debt was repaid.

  • The Mellon-Berenger Agreement (or Accord Mellon-Bérenger) (29 April 1926) was an agreement on the amount and rate of repayment of France's debt to the United States arising from loans and payments in kind made during World War I (1914-1918), both before and after the armistice with Germany.

  • L'accord Mellon-Bérenger (en anglais Mellon-Berenger Agreement) signé le 29 avril 1926 concerne le montant et le taux de remboursement de la dette de la France envers les États-Unis résultant des paiements et prêts effectués pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, avant et après l'armistice du 11 novembre 1918. L'accord réduit fortement le montant dû par la France, avec des modalités de paiement relativement souples. Cependant, il est profondément impopulaire en France, la population estimant que les États-Unis devraient renoncer à la dette compte tenu des énormes pertes en vies humaines et des dommages matériels que la France a subis, ou au moins lier les paiements aux réparations de l'Allemagne. La ratification par le Parlement français est retardée jusqu'en juillet 1929, peu avant le début de la Grande Dépression. Finalement, seule une partie assez réduite de la dette est remboursée directement. (fr)
