Germany and France have fought a number of different wars.
In the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, the Prussians (later the Germans) defeated France and forced the French to cede the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany.
In World War I, the French spent the entire war (1914-1918) unsuccesfully trying to expel the Germans from French soil. Although the Germans still occupied some French territory by the time they surrendered (11 November 1918), they were militarily defeated. After the war, France recovered Alsace and Lorraine, as well as militarily occupying the Ruhr Valley region near the border.
In World War II, the French were rapidly defeated by the Germans and surrendered on 22 June 1940. Germany occupied the northern 2/3 of France then, and then occupied all of the country in November 1942.
The Allies launched an invasion of France on D-Day, 6 June 1944. They were ultimately successful in forcing the Germans out of France, although it took some months. Paris was liberated on 25 August and all French soil had been freed by December 1944.

Why did the french and the begians invade the ruhr in 1923?
Because the Treaty of Versailles stated that Germany must pay a large amount of money (war reparations) towards the Allies after the WW1. For many reasons, Germany could not afford these payments, their economy, industry, and basically the whole country would just collapse if they were to continue to pay. 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.

What did Gustav stresemann do when the french occupied the ruhr?
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 occupation meant that Germany struggled to make money from industry and they had to pay the striking workers in the Ruhr who were carrying out passive resistance. The German economy didn't have enough money coming in from taxes so they printed more and more money caused prices to spiral out of control due to hyperinflation. The German currency was worthless. The money was worthless so when Stresemann became Chancellor he issued a new currency: the Rentenmark. Later, Stresemann called off the passive resistance in the Ruhr and as a result the French left.
