Germany defaults on a post-wartime reparations payment. France, believing that Germany was refusing to make the payment instead of being unable to, partnered with Belgium and sent troops to confiscate industrial goods as reparations in Germany's industrial area, the Ruhr Valley, which is fundamental to their economy. In response, Germany encouraged a general strike for workers across the country to stop working while the German government continued to print money to pay their wages. This would lead to hyperinflation ensuing the following year. (Darcy)
