Synopsis
This book's central concern is the 'Ruhr Problem': the complexity of post-World War One reparations, and the desperate need to safeguard France's security. The author presents a thorough examination of prior attempts to resolve such issues, finding them wanting in the face of the current crisis. The author argues that neither traditional reparations nor forceful annexation will suffice and presents an innovative solution: the establishment of an independent Rhineland-Westphalia under the protection of the League of Nations. This solution would simultaneously resolve the reparations issue and provide France with the security it seeks. The book delves into the historical context of the conflict, exploring the longstanding rivalry between France and Germany over the Rhine region. It also examines the economic and political significance of the Ruhr, a heavily industrialized area crucial to Germany's war machine. The author argues that internationalizing this region would neutralize Germany's military potential and prevent future conflicts. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and original solution to a pressing problem, demonstrating how the creation of an independent Rhineland-Westphalia could bring about lasting peace and stability to Europe.
