On 11 January 1923, French Prime Minister Raymond Poincare (1860-1934) initiated the French occupation of the Ruhr, in order to extract reparations from Germany. A nationalist with strong anti-German policies, Poincare had grown increasingly frustrated with Germany’s unwillingness to pay reparations, and tensions had grown between France and Great Britain due to Lloyd George’s reluctance to form joint Anglo-French economic sanctions. Despite these tensions, Poincare was keen not to break the entente with Britain, and following the occupation of the Ruhr, continued to negotiate with Baldwin’s Conservative government, which had come to office in May 1923. British popular opinion saw the occupation of the Ruhr as unacceptable French imperialism that would lead to the collapse of the German economy and government, which would lead to anarchy and Bolshevism.
