    French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr Basin in Germany in January 1923 as punishment for Germany's failure to pay debts from World War I. This occupation caused major political and social instability in Germany, including military and right-wing coups as well as attempts by the left to seize power. It also triggered a severe economic crisis, though the League of Nations did not intervene as the occupation was allowed under the Treaty of Versailles.

    DEPTH STUDY B: GERMANY, 1918–1945

    How significant was the invasion of the Ruhr as a cause of instability in


    Weimar Germany to 1923?
    Explain your answer.
    On January 11, 1923, French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr Basin as
    punishment for Germany's breach of debts incurred for its participation in
    World War I.
    This brought many consequences such as great political and social instability,
    in which military and right-wing coups took place, revolutionary attempts by
    the left and strong economic crises.
    the occupation led to increased sympathy for Germany, although no action
    was taken by the League of Nations, as the occupation was legal as signed in
    the Treaty of Versailles.
