• France Seizes Ruhr Financial Assets The French Rhineland High Commission authorized French Army troops in the Ruhr region to confiscate customs receipts and other financial assets. This action was part of the ongoing tensions following World War I, specifically related to Germany's reparations and the French occupation of the Ruhr industrial region.

This economic instability was a key factor in the social and political turbulence of the Weimar Republic.
