7h 58min, mar 13, 1920 y - Kapp Putsch fails
Description:
The putsch was a violent attempt to overthrow the democratic Weimar Government. It failed when most Germans joined a general strike in protest. Although Germany’s navy supported the strike, the military, despite Ludendorff’s influence, as a whole, did not. Without the support of the workers and the army, the uprising was doomed. Within four days, the Kapp Putsch had failed. Wolfgang Kapp fled to Sweden and also returned to Germany, in April 1922, and died 12 June of cancer while in prison awaiting trial.
