The Weimar Republic
Democratic government formed after WWI
Many feel the government's constitution was it's downfall
People mad that they follow the Treaty of Versailles
The Spartakist would eventually become the German Communist Party.
The communists tried to take over Berlin in January 1919 but were brutally put down by the Friekorps
The Kapp Putsch, Friekorps are asked to disband. Wolfgang Kapp (Leader) march on to Berlin in March
German workers save Weimar Republic with a General Strike
The Weimar Republic represented what the western countries wanted Germany to be politically. Except it didn't work very well at its start nor at its end as it splattered after the stock market crash.
