Berlin Government

The Berlin Government (German: Berliner Regierung) is the historiographic term for the socialist government that existed during the German Civil War, based in the city of Berlin. It can be contrasted with the Stuttgart Government, also known as the Weimar Republic, which was led by the anti-communist Whites. Led by the Communist Party of Germany and the Independent Social Democratic Party, it was established in the wake of the May Uprising of 1919. Officially it was known as the Free Socialist Republic of Germany (German: Freie Sozialistische Republik Deutschland), a name which continued in usage after the end of the war.
