After the Kapp Putsch in March 1920, the German government, unable to rely on the military, called for a general strike, which paralyzed the country and undermined the coup. The strike was widely supported by workers and leftist groups, leading to the withdrawal of Kapp and his supporters within days. The situation highlighted the fragility of the Weimar Republic and the challenges it faced from both right-wing and left-wing factions. Ultimately, the coup's failure reinforced the government's reliance on paramilitary groups and contributed to ongoing political instability in Germany.
