9 janv. 1923 - Ruhr Invasion

Description:

Under the TOV, Germany was meant to pay £6.6 billion. The first payment of £50 million was made in 1921, but in 1923 nothing was paid.

Ebert tried to negotiate with the Allies but France ran out of patience. In 1923, France and Belgium soldiers entered the Ruhr region of Germany and simply took what was owned in raw materials and goods, this was legal under the TOV.

Germany was not happy about this, and therefore the German government made the workers go on strike so the French had no raw materials to take. The French reacted harshly, killing over 100 workers and expelling 100,000 protestors from the area
