Скачать или смотреть Why did France and Belgium Invade Germany in 1923 - The Occupation of the Ruhr

During the First World War from 1914 - 1918 the Allied powers of France, Belgium and Great Britain (to name a few) tried in vain to break the stalemate on the Western Front and push into Germany to strike a crippling blow against their enemies. Something that is a lot less well known is that in 1923 the Belgians and French, 5 years after the end of the First World War, did in fact invade Germany, specifically the heavily-industrialised Ruhr region in the western Rhineland. This was a huge dilemma for the fledgling Weimar Republic and its President Ebert, as the German Army had been limited to 100,000 men after the Treaty of Versailles, and Germany's economy was in no way ready for war. They did fight the invaders however, but with terrifying unforeseen consequences.
