Karl Liebknecht

Politician

Karl Liebknecht was a prominent German socialist and a co-founder of the Spartacus League. As a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), he was one of the few German parliamentarians to oppose World War I from the outset. His anti-war stance and revolutionary activities led to his imprisonment and eventual expulsion from the SPD. Along with Rosa Luxemburg, he led the ill-fated Spartacist uprising in Berlin and was arrested and executed by Freikorps soldiers in 1919.
