 | | The Bavarian Soviet Republic (German: Bayrische Räterepublik), also known as the Munich Soviet Republic (Münchner Räterepublik), was a short-lived revolutionary government in the German state of Bavaria in 1919 that sought to replace the fledgling Weimar Republic in its early days. |
 | | On 6 April, the "Bavarian Soviet Republic" was proclaimed. |
 | | Soon after, on 3 May 1919, the Freikorps (having a force of 30,000 men) together with the "White Guards of Capitalism" (as the communist called them, having a force of 9,000) entered the Bavarian Soviet Republic and defeated the Communists, after bitter street fights in which over 1,000 volunteer supporters of the government were killed. |
