Kapp tried to overthrow the Weimar Republic and put the government back to how it was before the war. Some of the Freikorps (led by Kapp) took over Berlin to form another government and government was forced to flee to Dresden. Ebert tried to make the army put down this revolution but they did nothing. Ebert called on workers to stage a general strike. Kapp and Luttwitz (leaders of Freikorp brigades) gave up after 4 days and fled from Berlin. The Putsch collapsed. The government returned to Berlin but didn't punish those involved in the Kapp Putsch as many judges sympathised with people like Kapp. 1 of 1
