- January 1919
- The Spartacist Uprising was led by Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Leibnecht.
- Go and put down the uprising in Berlin.
- Yes Sir. We may also need to bring in the Freikorps - They hate the communists as much as we do.
- Weimar
- Inspired by the Communist revolution in Russia, the Spartacists wanted to overthrow the Weimar government and make Germany a Communist country.
- We are not huge supporters of the Weimar government. But we hate communists more! We'll help you take down this uprising.
- 100,000 people went on strike and demonstrated in the centre of Berlin. This demonstration was taken over by the Spartacist leadership. Newspaper and communication buildings were seized and the demonstrators armed themselves.
- The violence of the uprising forced the government to relocate to Weimar, Germany. Ebert called on the army to put down the uprising but they did not have enough soldiers.
- Ebert called on the Freikorps. The Freikorps strongly disliked communism so they agreed to help take down the Uprising. Over 100 people were killed during the uprising.
- Freikorps
- The uprising was badly planned and did not get any support. Leibnecht and Luxembourg were captured and killed.
