On 28 October 1918, sailors of the German High Seas Fleet disobeyed
orders to put to sea and challenge the British Grand Fleet in what
they saw as a suicidal gesture. Crews of the battleships at Kiel
and Wilhelmshaven let their fires go out, defied their admirals,
hoisted the red flag and elected sailors' councils. Troops sent to
suppress the mutiny joined it. Thus started the German Revolution.
Dr Ryder begins this full-scale treatment of the German Revolution
by summarizing the origins and development of German Social
Democracy up to the party's historic vote for war credits on 4
August 1914. He then considers the socialists' attitudes to the
war, notably in relation to the controversial question of
annexations, and traces the growth of a threefold split inside the
socialist party. The half-completed revolution is seen and
evaluated in relation to the German past - Bismarck - and future -
the weakness of Weimar democracy - and to the Marxist ideology of
the revolutionary leaders.
