Although the First World War was over, Germany began a new and violent chapter as an outbreak of civil war threatened to tear the country apart. The birth of the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democratic government, did not begin smoothly as republican institutions failed to re-establish centralized political and military authority in the wake of the collapse of the imperial regime. Coupled with painful aftershocks from defeat in the Great War, the immediate postwar era had only one consistent force shaping and guiding political and cultural life: violence.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-51946-5 - The Final Battle: Soldiers of the Western Front and the German Revolution of 1918 Scott Stephenson Excerpt More information 1 Introduction: the divided army Had we returned home in 1916, out of the suffering and strength of our experience we might have unleashed a storm. Now if we go back we will be weary, broken, burnt out, rootless, and without hope. We will not be able to find our way any more. Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front1 The German empire’s defeat in the First World War was comprehen- sive. By late 1918, Germany military and civilian leaders had cause to wonder which would give way first, the enfeebled institutions of the Second Reich or the front held by its beleaguered army on the Western Front. The question was decided in late October, when naval mutinies at Wilhelmshaven spread to other naval bases and, in turn, launched a revolutionary tidal wave that swept irresistibly across a nation exhausted by war. The day after the sailors’ uprising, Erich Ludendorff’s replace- ment as First Quartermaster General, General Wilhelm Groener, told the imperial cabinet that the army’s powers of resistance on the Western Front were nearly spent.2 When the armistice came a week later, it found the German forces in France and Belgium, the Westheer, exhausted, depleted, and staggering under the blows of the Allied armies. If defeat meant a complete breakdown of an army’s organiza- tion, one might argue that the German Army in the field still remained undefeated.
