Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr (11 ene 1923 año – 1 ene 1925 año)

Descripción:

-(1923-25)

-Ruhr: industrial region of Germany

-response to failure of Germany to pay 2nd installment of reparations - taking reparations in raw materials etc.

-workers' response: passive resistance/non-cooperation (fall in production), supported by government (expensive)

-more money printed --> hyperinflation by Nov. 1923 ($1 = 4.2 trillion marks)

-consequences of hyperinflation: life savings lost, economic ruin for people on fixed income/pension, barter economy, misery, further resentment + loss in confidence in Weimar government to resolve problems/crises (--> anti-republicanism)

-Ruhr problem resolved under Stresemann: called off passive resistance, & promised German commitment to paying reparations
