There is no direct link between the two. In 1923 France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr, which was Germany's leading industrial area. The reason given was that Germany had allegedly defaulted on reparations. The Germans responded with a policy of passive resistance, that is non-cooperation; but there was also some active resistance and a number of inhabitants of the Ruhr were shot by the French. The whole business was very damaging to the German economy. What outraged Germans (and also the British government) was that France went *beyond* the conditions of the Versailles Treaty. One of the French aims was to set up a separate republic in the Ruhr and the Rhineland. It created much bitterness. The whole business of going beyond Versailles probably caused even more resentment than the Versailles Treaty itself. Despite all this, Germany recovered from the effects of the occupation quickly and from 1924 onwards enjoyed some of the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties.

However, it also meant that the French lost a key lever of control over Germany, potentially emboldening extremist political factions. Ultimately, the long-term implications depended on the evolving political landscape in both countries.

When Gustav Stresemann became Chancellor of Germany in 1923 the French were already occupying the Ruhr and the hyperinflation crisis had taken hold of Germany.

The French and Belgians, being the main 'victims' in the war, were outraged, did not listen to the excuses, and invaded the Ruhr Valley in Germany. The Ruhr was Germany's main industrial area and thus - their main supply of wealth. This basically meant that the French and Belgians could get the money that Germany could not afford to pay them.
