France took the lead in 1923 on enforcing the Versailles Treaty. It was a international political disaster & much of Frances internal defense & other policy derived from that.
That's ... interesting.
I assume you refer to the in many ways for France disatrous 'Ruhr-occupation' which lead to
- several communistic uprisings in Germany
- the exaggeration of the already galloping inflation in Germany
- the 'Beerhall-putsch'
(a miracle that the Weimar republic survived this year at all, IMO)
- the diplomatic isolation of France of its former Entente-partners
- a financial crisis due to the unbalanced and buid-upon-reparations budget in France at that time
- the 'fall' of Poincaré in summer 1924
but in its follow up also to
- the Dawes-plan (more or less what the germans wanted before the Ruhr-occupation)
- the influx of american money esp. to germany
(at least part of the reasons for the Great Depression in financial terms)
- the Locarno-treaties ... as well as the Rapallo-treaty
Therefore, if France aka Poincaré would have given in to the german requests in late 1922 at least partially with something like the Dawes-plan already then, lets say March/April 1923 :
no Ruhr-occupation would have happened ...
without all tghe above mentioned ...
but perhaps with a 'better' understanding with the Entente-partners leading to also a better understanding about their war debts ... with ...
and therefor the 'need' of 'doing better' in the 1930s would be much reduced
... could be a starting for a V_E_R_Y interesting ATL, but ... how to get Poincaré to this point ?
