Could France and Britain have beaten Germany in 1938?
first answer: Maybe - but there was no reason to attack Germany in 1938. second answer: No one can know for sure. I assume if you are talking about the possibility of war in 1938, that you are referring to the period of crisis involving Hitler's demands on Czechoslovakia, April-September 1938). British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was not willing to risk war to protect Czech borders. The French were not willing to risk war without the help of Britain. In the end, Hitler got Czechoslovakia without a war. Although the German military leaders, at the time, were concerned that they would lose in a war with France & Britain, later events proved that the German military was capable of defeating France and pushing the British off the continent. This is primarily because the French & British allowed the Germans to attack first. The only real chance for French & British victory over Germany required an Allied offensive into Germany's Ruhr region (industrial heart of Germany). The British & French were unwilling in 1938, 1939 & 1940 to do this. Based on this, I would assume that a war in 1938 would have resembled the war that began a year later.
Why did France occupy the Ruhr in 1923?
The French (and Belgians) claimed that Germany had defaulted on reparations by delivering 100,000 telegraph poles ten days late in January, 1923. The German government replied that weather conditions had been unusually bad in the last two months of 1922 and that this had caused the delay, a point accepted by Britain. However, the French (and Belgians) occupied the Ruhr. For some years the French had wanted to separate the Ruhr and the Rhineland from Germany and set up a satellite French state there. The occupation of Germany's industrial heartland was met by passive and active resistance. In some case where factories refused to let French troops in, the latter just sprayed the works with machine-gun fire without further ado. The occupation of the Ruhr united Germans right across the political spectrum, from the various nationalist groups to the Communists. The occupation and an earlier attempt by armed Polish groups to seize part of Upper Silesia in 1921 enraged the Germans even more than the Treaty of Versailles itself. The occupation triggered the final, frenetic round of Germany's post-World War I inflation, and by September and October 1923 prices were rising at 26% a day! France's action caused immense resentment in Germany. It was a flagrant attempt to go beyond the Treaty of Versailles. The occupation also led to a serious rift between France and Britain, as the British government dissociated itself from the French action, criticized France and withdrew co-operation in some spheres.
