CLEP Western Civ II

Answer: C - The Spartacist Revolt made it apparent that there was a strong Communist following in Germany. This uprising, led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, had the backing of Russian Communists. After the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the immense hardship that Germany endured during World War I, Communism had become a visible movement in the nation. While this revolt was short-lived, it illustrated the extent of sympathy for Communism present in Germany at that time.
