"The rest of the world, especially Britain and the United States,
howled in anger against this French 'aggression.' The German
government itself replied by proclaiming a massive passive resistance in
the Rhur. It ordered and financed a general strike of the workers. It
made management close down the mines and factories. The blast
furnaces were extinguished. Not a ton of coal was mined or a ton of steel
produced. The railroads in the Rhineland ceased to run. In Berlin, the
government deliberately organized the destruction of the currency, the
mark falling to 4 million to a dollar by August and eventually to 25
billions, becoming worthless.
"Poincare stubbornly persevered. By sending in French and
Belgian engineers and workers, he was able to get the mines, mills, and
railroads functioning well enough to extract something from the Rhur.
A separatist Rhineland movement was secretly subsidized and
supported, and when its German leaders proclaimed a Rhineland
Republic, it was feared in Berlin that the Reich might permanently lose
its richest region. Without the Rhur, which had been sealed off by
Poincare, so that the rest of Germany received not a single ton of coal or
steel, the country could not exist. On September 26, [1923] the German
government capitulated, decreed the end of passive resistance in the
Rhur, and agreed to discuss the resumption of reparations." (Shirer. P.
148-49.)
It is not an accident that a mere six weeks later, on November 8, 1923,
an unknown right wing fanatic named Adolph Hitler, emerging out of
Bavaria, took advantage of the orchestrated chaos of the hyper-inflationary
crisis of Germany and of the massive popular resentment against the French
who had conducted an armed invasion of the Rhur, organizing what became
known as the Beer Hall armed uprising of Munich. Thus, as early as 1923,
the Synarchy had launched their German revanchist beast-man Hitler against
both the parliamentary systems of Germany and France. From that moment
on, the Nazi party would be built on the strength of recapturing the Rhur
region that the French troops ultimately evacuated on June 30, 1930. The
Nazi army of Hitler made a strategic return to the Rhur region, in 1935.
On the French side, the reannexation of the Alsace and Lorraine
regions to France had brought about a strengthening of the industrial
capacity of that region, and as early as 1919, the Wendel steel industry of
Lorraine, which became later secured by the Schuman Plan, became the
