 Germany missed a delivery of timber as part of their reparations  The goal of France was to collect the missed payment from the Germans by taking the goods from the mines and factories and shipping them to France

 The workers didn’t cooperate with the French and Belgian forces. Instead, they destroyed the goods, mines, and factories in protest.  German workers protested and became violent towards the French and Belgian troops. German Protest
