Book excerpt: Abstract: As the First World War was coming to an end, the German monarchy was collapsing. Various factions and members of the German Reichstag were scrambling to replace the recently abdicated Kaiser and restore some amount of order to the German state. In the following weeks, the Socialist Democratic Party (SPD) would gradually consolidate its grip on power and form a new government. Months later a general strike was declared in Berlin and hundreds of thousands of workers flooded the streets. Rosa Luxemburg and other prominent members of the Spartacists--far left defectors from the SPD--were initially opposed to the strike, but soon saw it as an opportunity to overthrow the SPD government. The Spartacists and like-minded radicals from the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) managed to assume control over the general strike, but could not agree upon its ultimate goal. Workers filled the streets, waiting for direction from the party leaders, but none came. Under the command of the SPD, Freikorps officers (demobilized, armed veterans of WWI) attacked strikers, killing hundreds and ultimately ending the uprising. Shortly afterwards, Spartacist leaders Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg were captured, tortured and killed, their bodies abandoned in different parts of the city. Through examination of the writings and personal documents of Rosa Luxemburg, I have been attempting to discover what led her to participate in the uprising which ultimately led to her death. As part of my research, I visited the Hoover Institution at Stanford University to view their Rosa Luxemburg collection. The Institution's holdings include a substantial amount of Luxemburg's letters and other ephemera, which help to explain the political climate of the time and elucidate the meanings behind her actions in her last days.

Download or read book The Lost Revolution written by Chris Harman and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Compelling . . . [a] classic study of the revolutionary process” (Neil Davidson, author of How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions?). As the First World War was about to end in defeat, German sailors began to mutiny—giving voice to the widespread anger against the elites who had led the nation into war and the calamitous impact of that decision on everyday people. The events that followed would eventually result in the parliamentary democracy known as the Weimar Republic—and the socialists who had initially risen up would be attacked by German counterrevolutionary troops, their uniforms marking the debut of a new symbol: the swastika. Because of the socialists’ defeat in Germany, Russia fell into the isolation that gave Stalin his road to power. Here, Chris Harman unearths the history of the lost revolution in Germany and reveals its lessons for the future struggles for a better world. “Chris Harman’s compelling analysis of the failed German Revolution covers the entire period from 1918 to the debacle of 1923, paying close attention to episodes such as the Bavarian Soviet Republic which are often neglected or minimized. Harman clearly demonstrates that this example of ‘lost revolution’ was the real turning point in German history when history failed to turn, with dire consequences.” —Neil Davidson, author of Discovering the Scottish Revolution

Download or read book The Great War from the German Trenches written by Artur H. Boer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the trenches for German soldiers during World War I was every bit as hellish as it was for Allied troops. Arthur Boer survived almost four years of continual fighting on both the Eastern and Western fronts as a sapper (combat engineer) who found himself in the thick of major battles. He laid barbed wire in no-man's-land under machine gun fire, bet money on aerial combat above the trenches between Baron von Richthofen and the English, faced starvation and crushing boredom. His war diary describes all in gritty detail, including the horror of gas warfare, doomed vainglorious charges and his return home to a ruined Germany.
Download or read book War Veterans and Fascism in Interwar Europe written by Ángel Alcalde and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores, from a transnational viewpoint, the historical relationship between war veterans and fascism in interwar Europe. Until now, historians have been roughly divided between those who assume that 'brutalization' (George L. Mosse) led veterans to join fascist movements and those who stress that most ex-soldiers of the Great War became committed pacifists and internationalists. Transcending the debates of the brutalization thesis and drawing upon a wide range of archival and published sources, this work focuses on the interrelated processes of transnationalization and the fascist permeation of veterans' politics in interwar Europe to offer a wider perspective on the history of both fascism and veterans' movements. A combination of mythical constructs, transfers, political communication, encounters and networks within a transnational space explain the relationship between veterans and fascism. Thus, this book offers new insights into the essential ties between fascism and war, and contributes to the theorization of transnational fascism.

Download or read book The Russian Revolution and Civil War 1917 1921 written by Jonathan Smele and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-04-15 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian Revolution and Civil War in the years 1917 to 1921 is one of the most widely studied periods in history. It is also somewhat inevitably one that has generated a huge flow of literature in the decades that have passed since the events themselves. However, until now, historians of the revolution have had no dedicated bibliography of the period and little claim to bibliographical control over the literature. The Russian Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921offers for the first time a comprehensive bibliographical guide to this crucial and fascinating period of history. The Bibliography focuses on the key years of 1917 to 1921, starting with the February Revolution of 1917 and concluding with the 10th Party Congress of March 1921, and covers all the key events of the intervening years. As such it identifies these crucial years as something more than simply the creation of a communist state.
Download or read book The Second Revolution The Council Movement in Berlin 1919 20 written by Axel Weipert and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berlin council movement of 1919–20 proves that there was a left alternative beyond Social Democracy and Stalinism in the German Revolution. The movement combined an impressive mass mobilisation with extensive socialist and democratic aspirations that pointed far beyond the Weimar order. Berlin was not just the centre of the November Revolution of 1918, but also the most important arena of the Second Revolution that followed. For the first time, the movement is analysed here in all its diversity and on the basis of a broad range of sources. Beside the workers' and factory councils, it also includes councils of students, women, the unemployed and intellectuals. Central events such as the 1919 general strike and the struggle against the Kapp Putsch of 1920 are also examined.
