Page 1
In 1920 5000 right wing supporters of Dr Kapp marched on Berlin
They wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic and bring back the Kaiser
The army would not fire rebels
Ex-soldiers (freikorps) supported Dr Kapp
The government fled to Dresden
order was only restored when the government asked the workers to go on strike
Kapp realised the workers would never listen to him and he gave up and was sent to prison
it made the Weimar Government look very weak and reliant on the workers (left wing)
