In other words, the footsteps of the second half of 1918 had just arrived, and Germany, as the world power at that time, was doomed to defeat in the First World War. Moreover, the streets of the country were full of slogans to overthrow the German Emperor Wilhelm II. So, what's going on here? Let's take a look.
First of all, Germany at that time was already in a state of turmoil. Because, at that time, not only was the international situation quite unfavorable to it, but even the situation at home was quite bad. Even on November 3, 1918, an uprising broke out in the country with the participation of at least 80,000 German navies. The officers and men of these uprisings then arrested many reactionary officers and took control of the entire port of Kiel.
As a result, by November 9, the uprising soon spread to Berlin, the capital of Germany, with thousands of people marching toward the square, to the German emperor's palace. When The German Emperor Wilhelm II saw this, he quickly announced his abdication and fled to the Netherlands. Thus, in the midst of the jubilation of the people, a new regime was born and a new banner was raised.
Who, then, was the leader in organizing this uprising? Her name is Rosa Luxemburg, a woman, and she is one of the world's leading thinkers and theorists. In the stormy storm of the world war against capitalism, revisionism and imperialism, he has shown great heroism. Even today there are left-wing party scholarships in Germany that bear her name. She also spent time in the prison of the German feudal court until 1907, when she was released.
Later, when light came to the summer of 1914, when World War I broke out, she and several other comrades-in-arms, such as Carl. Liebke and others took advantage of this opportunity to call on many Germans to participate in the struggle against the German emperor. This, in turn, contributed directly to the success of the uprising.
Of course, after the outbreak of this uprising, although the German Emperor Wilhelm II escaped, Nosk, a traitor of the German Social Democratic Party, became the "Minister of Defense" of the Provisional Government at that time. Immediately after his arrival, he mobilized troops to begin a bloody suppression of the uprising. So, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl. Liebke and other rebel leaders were unfortunately arrested in a basement. After that, he was killed by the German reactionaries.
However, the atrocities of the Provisional Government, far from intimidating the resistance of the German workers, provoked a strong opposition from the workers throughout the country. By 13 April 1919, many German workers' insurrections had established a new regime in Bavaria, which was not completely suppressed until late April. Albert then became president of the German Provisional Government, and then Hindenburg became president of the German Provisional Government. For a time, Germany fell into a state of turmoil.
In short, why did Germany fall into a state of turmoil in the second half of 1918? In fact, the reason is very simple, it is a time when various theories and ideas are competing with each other. (Lv Haifeng)
