Looking back at the aftermath of the Great War, one of the things that have consistently baffled historians is how the Spartacist League, which was relatively weak at the time of its uprising in 1919, managed to overthrow the Weimar Republic, propelling Rosa Luxemburg into absolute power till 1933. How would Germany have fared had the Freikorps, under perhaps better management, managed to crush the Spartacist League, rather than ending up defeated and hunted down across Germany?
