A 1919 Ruhr offensive depends on the war continuing

Continued war into 1919 could bring a British armoured offensive into the Ruhr and damage German industry.

Notes

A European war lasting into 1919 could allow a planned British offensive against exhausted German forces to proceed. The attack is described as using tanks and armoured cars to push into the Ruhr. Lasting damage to German industry is offered as a projection rather than a certain result. This branch depends on the fighting continuing beyond the historical 1918 armistice.
