Answer to Question 1

Germany: boom, high interest rates to fight inflation. Other European countries: France, Italy and UK in recession, trying to match the high German interest rates to hold their currencies fixed against Germany's, thereby pushing their economies into deep recession. Other European countries tried to continue the fixed exchange rate in order not to lose the credibility they had build up since 1985. The policy conflict between Germany and the other European countries led to a series of fierce speculative attacks on the EMS exchange parities starting in September 1992. By august 1993, the EMS was forced to retreat to very wide ( 10 percent) bands, which is kept in force until the introduction of the euro in 1993.

Answer to Question 2

(1 ) To enhance Europe's role in the world monetary system

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
