add to cart   close window

The article focuses on a secret report sent by the French Premier as a commissioner to investigate the industry and economics of the Rhine Provinces. The text of the report states that the occupation of the Dusseldorf bridgehead was provoked by the ill-will which Germany showed in meeting her engagements in 1921. It was after the London agreement of May 5, 1921, and the ultimatum which resulted from it, that it was decided to adopt the military sanctions consisting of the occupation of Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Ruhrort, and the neighboring region, and the economic sanctions consisting of the control of the Rhenish Customs and the establishment of a Customs barrier at the limit of the zone of occupation.
