==Challenges for the Weimar Republic==

Despite the Revolution in 1918, there were many on the left who believed that it did not go far enough. The radical left wanted a communist system in Germany. Revolutionaries established a Communist Republic in Bavaria and later seized control the Ruhr. These were both defeated by the German army and right wing-militias the Freirkorps. In 1919, Communists led by Rosa Luxembourg tried to stage a revolution in Berlin. This was also defeated by the army with great brutality. It was not only the left that was a threat to the Weimar Republic. The far right also sought to overthrow the Republic. They blamed the Weimar Republic for the predicament of Germany and the ‘infamous’ Treaty of Versailles. There was an attempted right wing coup in Berlin in 1919, the Kapp Putsch. In 1922, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi’s tried to seize control in Munich but was quickly defeated by German troops.<ref> Chris Harman (1982).
