French Occupied Rhineland region WW1
Following the Armistice of 1918, Allied forces occupied the Rhineland as far east as the river with some small bridgeheads on the east bank at places like
Cologne. This lasted until the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 (formally ending World War I) specified the
de-militarization of the entire area to provide a buffer between Germany on one side and France, Belgium and Luxembourg (and to a lesser extent, the Netherlands) on the other side. Allied forces then, more or less promptly, withdrew.
In violation of the Locarno Pact and the Treaty of Versailles, Nazi Germany reoccupied the Rhineland on 7. March 1936. The occupation was done with very little military support and could easily have been stopped had it not been for the appeasement mentality of post-war Europe. The remilitarization of the Rhineland was very popular with locals, because of a resurgence of German nationalism and harboured bitterness over the Allied occupation of the Rhineland until 1930.
