Description
The end of the First World War saw a revolutionary wave sweep across Europe. In Berlin and Vienna, the defeat of the two great Empires led to the proclamation of republics in November 1918. The workers parties rose to power. In response to aspirations for radical democracy and a world free of war and exploitation, social laws were enacted, but the most radical fringes wanted to go further and draw inspiration from the new Soviet model. Rosa Luxemburg, their flag bearer and symbol, was assassinated on 15th January 1919 by the Free Corps with the support of the new social-democratic government. A few months later, in Munich, a short-lived Bavarian socialist republic was also crushed in bloodshed... by individuals who, for some, would become close to Adolf Hitler. In the 1920s, the division of the workers movement, among others, allowed nationalism to develop over the next decade which led to the crushing of the world’s oldest and most powerful workers parties within a few months by Nazism.
