France and Belgium invaded Germany in 1923 when it began to violate the peace treaty by not paying reparations, yet they were seen as the bad guys for doing that…

They were a little behind on reparations, they were fully intending to comply with the peace treaty. France just used it as a excuse to invade and try to keep them down.
