• France seizes Ruhr financial assets On January 18, 1923, France's Rhineland High Commission authorized French Army troops in the Ruhr to seize customs receipts and taxes on mined coal, and to take over forests in the occupied area to compensate for unpaid reparations. In response, Germany's Reichsbank closed its branches in the occupied territory and moved assets to unoccupied areas. The French also imposed fines on Ruhr industrialists for failing to deliver coal reparations, leading to riots and renewed calls for a general strike. source: britannica.com
• German hyperinflation escalates On January 18, 1923, the German Mark dropped to 23,800 against the US dollar, a significant decline from 9,000 to the dollar on January 1, 1923. This rapid depreciation was a result of the economic turmoil caused by the French occupation of the Ruhr and the German government's policy of passive resistance, which led to the printing of large amounts of money. source: fooddeserts.org
