The Spartacist uprising was eventually defeated by units of the German military and Freikorps, which moved to defend the government.
What was the outcome of the Spartacist uprising?
The government summarily disbanded the workers' and soldiers' councils. The outcome showed that there was not remotely the widespread support for communism on which the rebels had relied and elections on January 19 were a triumph for Ebert and the creation of a democratic constitution for the new Weimar Republic.
How was the Spartacist uprising a threat to the Weimar Republic?
During the strike the Spartacists seized key government buildings including the telegraph offices. The Weimar government found the revolt difficult to handle and had to call in the Freikorps. The Freikorps put down the rebellion, with most workers and rebels being cleared by January 13th, 1919.
