Sparticist Uprising (jan 4, 1919 – jan 15, 1919)

Description:

The differences between the KPD and SDP almost pulled Germany into a long running civil war. However, with the end of the war the SDP
used retired returning soldiers called Freikorps who still kept their arms and a burning hatred of Communism to brutally put down the KPD during the Spartacist Uprising in 4-15 January, 1919. The KPD would never forgive the SDP for the usage of the brual Freikorps and they would never co-operate again, even against the ultimate threat of Hitler in the future.

After this, the SDP, along with other political parties would establish themselves into a working government called the Reichstag.
