On this day in 1919, German revolution leaders Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered by a gang of right-wing army officers, led by the Social Democratic Party.

Luxemburg and Liebknecht co-founded the anti-war Spartacus League Spartakusbund], which later became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Together, they led the Spartacist uprising in Berlin.
