One of France's chief concerns after World War I, was the payment of reparations by the German government as stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles. When the Germans defaulted on their obligations, Premier Raymond Poincaré ordered French armed forces, accompanied by Belgian troops, to occupy the Ruhr Valley in January, 1923. Although this policy of aggression was opposed by the British government, concerned with stabilizing the economy and reviving its trade, the London Daily Mail spoke in support of France's position.
