Question 2

What kind of revolutionary movements occurred after World War I?

Accepted Answer

The League of Nations wanted to prevent any outbreak of revolutions and even participated in the reapportionment of territory in Europe in the effort to avoid further conflict.However,there were several subsequent local revolutionary movements after 1918.The Easter Uprising in Ireland had been brutally suppressed by the British,but this only fueled the desire for a free state for Ireland after 1919.The creation of the Irish Free State emerged victorious after a civil war in Ireland from 1919 to 1921 and created a split between northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland that exists to this day.In Germany,Socialist and Communist Party uprisings were suppressed between November 1918 and January 1919,resulting in the murders of Rose Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.A Bolshevik uprising in Hungary temporarily installed a communist government under the leadership of Béla Kun,but the Great Powers allowed Slovak and Romanian forces to invade the country and exact territories in compensation for their so-called help.Finally,the Italian insurrection led by Gabriele D'Annunzio may not have accomplished a long-term result,but it served to inspire another future political leader,Benito Mussolini.The Fiume experiment was resurrected by Mussolini,down to the use of the Black Shirt brigades to enforce and terrorize compliance.
