  Friedrich Ebert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Ebert (February 4, 1871 – February 28, 1925) was a German politician (SPD), who served as the 9th Chancellor of Germany and its first president during the Weimar period.
In August 1914, Ebert led the party to vote almost unanimously in favour of war appropriations, accepting that a war was a necessary patriotic, defensive measure.
Ebert led the new government for the next several months, notably using the army to suppress an uprising by the leftist Spartacist movement, commonly identified with Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, even though many of its members were centrist SPD supporters.

Ebert (who had become Chancellor on November 9 by means which were not strictly constitutional), forestalled this development by ensuring active SPD involvement in the Council movement from the beginning, and had himself elected on to the Council of Peoples' Commissars.
In the afternoon, representatives of the Councils met in the Zirkus Busch and a Vollzugsrat was established, ostensibly as a left-wing organization to overcome Ebert's influence.
Ebert had ordered the dissolution (in line with the wishes of the Allies) of, among others, the Marinebrigade Ehrhardt, a Freikorps unit which formed Lüttwitz's elite troops, and which was currently stationed near Berlin.

Berlin, with its 150,000 inhabitants, had remained, in spite of its renown as a royal residence and as center of an uncommonly lively intellectual life, a small town, which could be compared least of all with the world-cities Paris and London.
Both were officials of the Royal Library in Berlin, and both gave their willing approval that the desired scientific works of greater and lesser range were to be handed over, without delay, to the young student for a time.
Berlin was politically aroused, since the latest news from Paris had announced the overthrow of the King of the French, Louis Philippe, as the result of a revolutionary uprising, and the transformation of the monarchy into a republic.
