I'm not saying you are wrong, but I didn't know the French invaded Bavaria in 1923, I always thought it was the coal rich region the Ruhr.(?)

In my opinion the draconian demands of the Treaty of Versailles, resulting in hyperinflation, and a poor national self image, created an ideal breeding ground for extremist parties. Though it was down to chance as to who, the left or the right, who would eventually seize power.
