<P> The occupation was greeted by a campaign of passive resistance . Approximately 130 German civilians were killed by the French occupation army during the events , including during civil disobedience protests , e.g. against dismissal of German officials . Some theories assert that to pay for passive resistance in the Ruhr , the German government began the hyperinflation that destroyed the German economy in 1923 . Others state that the road to hyperinflation was well established before with the reparation payments that started on November 1921 , see 1920s German inflation . In the face of economic collapse , with high unemployment and hyperinflation , the strikes were eventually called off in September 1923 by the new Gustav Stresemann coalition government , which was followed by a state of emergency . Despite this , civil unrest grew into riots and coup attempts targeted at the government of the Weimar Republic , including the Beer Hall Putsch . The Rhenish Republic was proclaimed at Aachen ( Aix - la - Chapelle ) in October 1923 . </P>
