  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.
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.
In spite of Ebert's support for the violent suppression of revolutionary uprisings, the German workers protected his government from the Kapp Putsch in 1920 by means of a nationwide general strike.

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 favor of war appropriations, accepting that a war was a necessary patriotic, defensive measure.
The party's stance, under the leadership of Ebert and other revisionists like Philipp Scheidemann, in favor of the war eventually led to a split, with the more left wing elements in the party leaving in early 1917 to form the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD).

The GDR defense ministry added that the “aggressive” role of Western Germany and NATO, which continued the arms race qualitatively by modernizing its forces even while reducing them quantitatively, threatened the relaxation of tensions in Europe (Meeting IV, 1972: 56f.
While the GDR's strong economy gave it a measure of autonomy, it was politically dependent on the USSR because of the German question.
The worst intra-bloc tensions evolved from the situation in Poland in 1980-81 and from the GDR's reaction to the counterdeployments to NATO’s Euromissiles in 1983.

Three of the current five foundations were established as part of the Reeducation Program following World War II, when their mission was variously to support political education and research, serve as a forum for meetings and an archive for party documents, and to function internationally as role models promoting development and democracy.
During the 1960s, the political foundations in West Germany assumed an important role in serving as a counterweight to the political ambitions of the GDR in developing countries.
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation pioneered this effort, opening Washington offices in the late seventies.

The cotton combine, as Bertram Hofer remembers very clearly, had some 70,000 employees in 26 plants, and was largest of the 30 leading GDR combines when the GDR ceased to exist.
Of the 30 largest GDR combines, which employed roughly one million people in 1990 and achieved turnover of just under 200 billion marks in 1998, not one survived the shift to the market economy.
Take cotton, for example, or the Carl Zeiss combine, which in GDR times was also one of the showcases firms of the other German state, with some 70,000 employees and a turnover of more than five billion GDR marks.
