One of the things that led up to it was Germany asking France for a reprieve of the payments and they said no so Germany basically destroyed their own economy by printing money needed to pay back the debt.

I didn't really fully understand why they put all the blame on Germany. It feels like they were just a scapegoat and all that was left to blame after the ottomans were completely destroyed.
It's mostly this. If you study the writings of the Entente powers important people their goal was to crush Germany so hard that they would never be a threat to France's continental hegemony again. They had been butthurt that Germany had become a major land power from the moment that it had been created.

In William L Shirer's book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (which I heartily recommend) he talks about all of the different possible peace proposals that were seriously discussed. One of which was a complete de-industrialization of Germany and by doing so forcing it to be become an agrarian state of rural farmers, with no electricity or running water.
