March 13, 1920- The Freikorps, refusing to disband as required and without the support of the German president moves on and takes Berlin.
March 1920- German Defense Minister Gustav Noske orders the regular army to move on the rebellious Kapp Putsch, as the taking of Berlin is now known as. The army reluctantly agrees to do so.
March 1920- Although much of the Freikorps having refused to back the Putsch originally, they now rally behind it in response to the army's offensive against it.
March 29, 1920- The army engages Freikorps troops outside Berlin. Freikorps troops fall back into the city. Fredrich Ebert, president of Germany, refuses to allow the shelling of the city, fearing it will completely destroy any public support for the Wiemar government.
April 1920- Freikorps rebels engage the regular army in scattered combat around Germany. Fighting is confusing, casualties high, and moral low among the loyalist army.
April 25, 1920- The Freikorps and its supporters begin distributing propaganda depicting citizens of Berlin suffering because of the siege on it. The propaganda is well done and public opinion turns against Ebert and his democratic government.
May-June 1920- The Freikorps consolidates and takes control of large portions of Northeastern Germany. Moral falls like a rock in the army and approval of Ebert falls to around 20%
July-August 1920- As moral continues to fall many members of the German army abandon their arms. The federal army, which outnumbered the Freikorps 350,000 to 250,000 when the civil war broke out now is outnumbered 175,000 to 200,000.
September 2-28 1920- Freikorps launch their famous September Offensive, breaking down the federal line and allowing them to advance deep into northwestern Germany.
October 4, 1920- The federal army coups the government, arresting Ebert and its other leaders, and surrender to the Freikorps. Wolfgang Kapp, the leader of the putsch, is named president of Germany and given absolute power. The army numbers some 280,000 when the civil war ends as federal forces are given the choice of leaving if they wish.
October 11, 1920- Kapp announces that he will temporarily cease the payment of reparations so that Germany can rebuild from its civil war.
November 7, 1920- Kapp begins secretly expanding the German Army. He also begins the mass production of the tanks, the first government to take full advantage of the new technology.
December 31, 1920- Kapp and his government have large amounts of support at home but have inspired a degree of unease among the Allies, who fear Kapp's nationalistic talks. He has succeeded in reinvigorating some of the German economy by refusing to continue to pay reparations, although he claims this to be temporary.
There's 1920, so what does everyone see as the future and result of this early, ultra-nationalist but not NAZI Germany. I see this as a group project
