 Why did the Right Wing fail in its threat to the Weimar Republic in the years 1918-1923?
The Kapp Putsch of March 1920, was a Right Wing uprising that triggered many Left Wing uprisings across Germany.
The Putsch began because the Right Wing wanted to see the Republic overthrown but instead of using political means the Right used force and also Wolfgang Kapp wished to see a return of a monarchy in Germany.
The reason the Kapp Putsch failed was because the Trade Unions called a general strike, which had a severe impact because it included workers from key industries, such as electrical, gas and water companies, and the civil servants refused to follow Wolfgang Kapp's orders.
