Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
When did the occupation happen? early 1923
why did it happen? it happened as Germany failed to send its reparations to France
what was the French reaction to this? - under the TOV, the French sent troops to the Ruhr (which was an extremely important industrial state to Germany; a main source of income) - they seized raw materials
how did the Germans respond to this? - the Germans responded with passive resistance [all the workers went on strike] - there was no industrial production, therefore nothing for the French to take - the French responded by arresting anyone on strike and bought in their own workers
what was the aftermath of this? - over 140 Germans were killed, bringing back old hatred - many Germans (particularly, the right wing) blamed the WR for not stopping them - the economy was also further disrupted: • the government had to pay the strikers • there was no production or exporting → no income
what was the Weimar Republic's solution to the economic problem? the government decided to print more money (bad idea, smh)
