Description:
It was a period of military occupation of the German Ruhr valley by France and Belgium between 1923 and 1925 in response to the Weimar Republic's failure to continue its reparation payments in the aftermath of World War I. Ruhr Germany was not paying back the reparations agreed under the Treaty of Versailles. France and Belgium marched into the Ruhr – Germany’s industrial zone – to control and get their money that way.
