Soviets of workers and sailors were established in many cities. The political atmosphere in Berlin was charged with demands for Soviet-style governance.  this is a rally organised by the radical group known as the Spartacist League. In the winter of 1918-1919 the streets of Berlin were taken over by the people. Political demonstrations became common. Those opposed to this  such as the socialists, Democrats and Catholics  met in Weimar to give shape to the democratic republic. The Weimar Republic crushed the uprising with the help of a war veterans organisation called Free Corps .  The  anguished Spartacists later founded  the Communist Party of Germany.  Communists and Socialists henceforth became irreconcilable enemies and could not make common cause against Hitler.  Both revolutiona...
