georgy-konstantinovich-zhukov:

Although the government had relied on the Freikorps to put down the Communist uprisings in early 1919, in reality, they had little in common, with the Weimar Coalition being dominated by the Social Democrats of the SPD.
With the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the Freikorps were to be disbanded in order to reduce the military force of Germany to under 100,000 as required, but many did not wish to do so. In March 1920, the Marinebrigade Erhardt - pictured here as they march through Berlin on the 13th - was to be disbanded, but refused to do so. More Freikorps came to their support, as did some elements of the Reichwehr, and with the support of General Walther von Lüttitz and Wolfgang Kapp - hence being known as the Kapp-Lüttwitz Putsch - the coup initially enjoyed some success as they occupied Berlin and the government fled to Dresden.
To fight the attempted takeover, the government called for a general strike however, and with the country grinding to a halt, their momentum faltered, and a few days later the leaders fled the country as their attempted takeover came to an end. With a touch of irony though, the most leftist elements of the strikers then refused to end it, leading to the Ruhr uprising, which in turn was put down by the Freikorps at the behest of the government.
