New Wars and Revolutions - Demobilisation I THE GREAT WAR January 1919

In our first new episode, our host Jesse takes a look at the German Revolution of 1918/1919 and how the Spartacists under Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg tried to take power. We also take a look at the new conflicts that emerge right after the supposed "war to end all wars" and explain how the massive armies of the great powers were demobilized. » SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thegreatwar  Become a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUcyEsEjhPEDf69RRVhRh4A/join   » OUR PODCAST https://realtimehistory.net/podcast - interviews with World War 1 historians and background info for the show.   » BUY OUR SOURCES IN OUR AMAZON STORES https://realtimehistory.net/amazon * *Buying via this link supports The Great War (Affiliate-Link)   » SOURCES including affiliate* links to amazon Mark Jones, Founding Weimar.
