Detailed Solution

The French occupied Ruhr in Germany in 1923.
France and Belgium invaded the Ruhr region on January 9, 1923, in reaction to the inability to pay reparations. The Ruhr was a German region that included manufacturing and other resources. These funds were to be used by the French and Belgians to make up for the unpaid reparations. The occupation of Ruhr by the French resulted in an unofficial state of war between the French and the Germans in the Rhineland. The occupying French and Belgian soldiers were met with resistance from German industry workers. The occupying forces used mass arrests, deportations, and an economic blockade to isolate the Ruhr and the majority of the occupied Rhineland from the rest of Germany. So this put the German economy in jeopardy.
