    Disestablishment


  • November 1924: After numerous protests by the German and British governments, Franco-Belgian support to the Rhenish sepratists waned. The Separatists tried to maintain their rule with the help of the Schutztruppe they had recruited. The maintenance of the troops was denied by "requisitions" from the population, as a result of which the situation escalated to the point of armed conflicts in many places. Direct Separatist rule ended around November 20th, 1924.
