Spartacist Revolution (1 янв 1919 г. – 1 март 1919 г.)

Описание:

One left-wing group was known as the Spartacists. They were Communists led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. They argued strongly against Ebert's plans for a democratic Germany.
Early in 1919 the Spartacists launched their bid for power. Joined by rebel soldiers and sailors, they set up soviets in many towns. Not all soldiers were on the side of the Spartacists, however. Some anti-Communist ex-soldiers had formed themselves into vigilante groups called Freikorps. Ebert made an agreement with the commanders of the army and the Freikorps to put down the rebellion. The Freikorps won. Liebknecht and Luxemburg were murdered, and this Communist revolution had failed.
