The German Revolution of November 1918 is nowadays largely
forgotten outside Germany. It is generally regarded as a failure
even by those who have heard of it, a missed opportunity which
paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and the catastrophe to
come. Robert Gerwarth argues here that to view the German
Revolution in this way is a serious misjudgement. Not only did it
bring down the authoritarian monarchy of the Hohenzollern, it also
brought into being the first ever German democracy in an amazingly
bloodless way. Focusing on the dramatic events between the last
months of the First World War in 1918 and Hitler's Munich Putsch of
1923, Robert Gerwarth illuminates the fundamental and deep-seated
ways in which the November Revolution changed Germany. In doing so,
he reminds us that, while it is easy with the benefit of hindsight
to write off the 1918 Revolution as a 'failure', this failure was
not somehow pre-ordained. In 1918, the fate of the German
Revolution remained very much an open book.
