The Bavarian Soviet Republic was a revolutionary socialist state in the Weimar Republic that existed for less than a month in 1919.[1]

History

After the German Empire was overthrown in November of 1918, the People's State of Bavaria was established. It was led by Kurt Eisner, a democratic socialist. Eisner was assassinated by a German nationalist

On April 6, 1919, the People's State of Bavaria was overthrown and the Bavarian Soviet Republic was established. Unlike the People's State, the Bavarian Soviet Republic was connected to the Bolsheviks in Russia.[2] On May 1, the Freikorps invaded the Soviet Republic.
