nov 10, 1918 - Ebert-Groener Pact

Description:

The Ebert-Groener Pact was an agreement between President Ebert and Wilhelm Groener (German Army) that ensured the safety of the new Weimar Republic in its early days. Facing threats from the Spartacists, led by Liebknecht and Luxembourg, the Army, along with the Freikorps, were allowed to crack down on left-wing groups posing a danger to the new Government. In return, the Army would be able to retain its independence and support from the interventions of bureaucrats.
