Abstract

[In Saxony and Thuringia the KPD joined the left-wing governments led by the SPD while Gregory Zinoviev, chair of the Communist International (Comintern), helped Ruth Fischer to become a member of the KPD Party Executive. They harbored similar views and the Russian party sent emissaries to Germany and set the date of the uprising for November 7. The end of German inflation and French-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr region, however, undermined the revolutionary mood. Workers’ governments in Saxony and Thuringia were dissolved by German president Friedrich Ebert and the KPD chair, Brandler, called off all plans for an uprising. Unfortunately, however, his decision did not reach Hamburg in time. A communist insurrection had been organized but, in the confusion, it remained isolated and it was quickly put down. The KPD was then outlawed, a ban that lasted until March 1924.]
