What is the crisis of 1923?Show answer
The most dangerous crisis was economic. In 1923, because Germany had fallen behind on reparations, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr, Germany's main industrial region, to seize goods in lieu of payment. The German government told workers there to go on strike in protest, which cut production and tax income. To keep paying, the government printed huge quantities of banknotes.
