Kurt Eisner Quotes

A collection of quotes by Kurt Eisner.

Kurt Eisner (1867-1919) was a prominent German politician and journalist. He emerged as a leading figure during the German Revolution in November 1918, when he founded the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) and became the first Prime Minister of Bavaria’s short-lived People's State. Eisner played a crucial role in negotiating the Armistice of Compiègne, effectively ending Germany's involvement in World War I. However, his tenure was cut short when he was assassinated by a right-wing extremist in February 1919. Despite his brief political career, Eisner's actions had a significant impact on the shaping of Germany's post-war history.
