Answer
The Ruhr is a region in Germany that is rich in coal and iron ore. After World War I, Germany was required to pay reparations to the Allied Powers. Raymond Poincaré, the Prime Minister of France, enforced payment of the reparations by sending French and Belgian troops into the Ruhr in 1923. This action caused widespread economic disruption in Germany and led to the hyperinflation of the German mark.
