The birth of Weimar Republic coincided with the revolutionary uprising of the Spartacist League. The political atmosphere in Berlin was charged with demands for Soviet-style governance. Those who opposed to this met in Weimar to give shape to the democratic republic. The Weimar Republic crushed the uprising with the help of a war veterans organisations called Free Corps.
