I was reading Wikipedia about the Rhenish Republic. Turns out it disslved after a couple of years.

Had the French supported this, as a way to keep the Germans divided, would it be enough to keep the Nazis from going as far as they did in terms of re arming themselves. Or considering if they never come to power, i would like to think Berlin would push for direct control of the western region, but the question is how.
Also it looks like Konrad Adenauer wanted a West German autonomous region. If the French were to support the Rhenish, I don' see why they wouldn' want to further dismantle the Germans.
