In the wake of the 2007–2008 crisis, and especially in 2010–2012, the eurozone underwent severe strains on its government bond markets. Although no European country has defaulted (yet) on its bonds, several countries have had to resort to exceptional measures, in part financed by the European Central Bank, to overcome the crisis. Do some research to find information on any two countries that are most affected by the European debt crisis and explain how this might have happened. Find the most recent data on the interest rates these countries pay for their bonds and how these rates compare to those for bonds by the German treasury.
