In November 1918 a revolution overthrew the old imperial system in
Germany and inaugurated a republic. The revolution was formally
completed in August 1919 when the social democrat Friedrich Ebert
was sworn in as president. By this time, however, many of the
revolution's original aims and intentions had been swallowed up by
new political concerns and lived experiences. For contemporaries
the meaning of '9 November' changed, becoming increasingly
contested between rival parties, military experts and scholars.
This book examines how the debate on the revolution has evolved
from August 1919 to the present day. It takes the reader through
the ideological battles of the 1920s and 30s into the equally
politicised historical writing of the cold war period. It ends with
a consideration of the marginalisation of the revolution in
academic research since the 1980s, and its revival from 2010. -- .
