March 14, 1920. Day two of the Kapp Putsch, day one of the Ruhr Uprising


On this day the Kapp Putsch was back in the news, which for an attempted coup is bad news.  By now, the new government should have been absolute, and it wasn't.


Indeed, in the Ruhr, a full scale left wing uprising was in progress.  The Red Rurh Army, 50,000 men strong, was contesting the results of Kapp Putsch in Berlin.
