1920-1-10: Treaty of Versailles into effect; League of Nations established - HiPo > .
1920-3-13 Start of the Kapp Putsch in Berlin 13th March 1920 > .
Interbellum - Germany - RaWa >> .
The Weimar Republic was established in the aftermath of Germany’s defeat in the First World War and the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Unpopular with both the political left and right, the government faced several threats from the left in early 1919 prior to their reluctant signing of the Treaty of Versailles. In its aftermath the Freikorps volunteer paramilitary units, on whom the government had relied to put down the previous uprisings, were to be disbanded.
In early March 1920 two leading Freikorps units refused the order to dissolve. Already opposed to the democratic Weimar government, the unit under the command of Captain Herman Ehrhardt occupied Berlin with the cooperation of General Walther von Lüttwitz, the district army commander.
Two days earlier Lüttwitz had approached right-wing journalist Wolfgang Kapp and some other leading military figures in preparation for taking over the government. They swiftly occupied government buildings and met no opposition from regular troops stationed in the city, while officials generally accepted the coup.
However, the putsch was far less popular with the general population. After the Weimar government fled to Dresden, President Ebert issued a cabinet proclamation calling for a general strike to defeat the putsch. Supported by the major trade unions and leftist parties, the people of Berlin refused to cooperate with the Kapp government and services ground to a halt. More than 12 million workers went on strike from 14 March, paralysing essential services ranging from water to transportation. Less than a week later, with the putsch a failure, Kapp was forced to flee to Sweden.

CONservative Catholic RepuGNican anti-feminist Phyllis Schafly had argued that the ERA would take away gender-specific privileges currently enjoyed by women, including "dependent wife" benefits under Social Security, separate restrooms for males and females, and exemption from Selective Service (the military draft).

Both chambers of Virginia’s General Assembly [finally!] passed the Equal Rights Amendment Wednesday [2020-1-15], fulfilling a promise that helped Democrats seize control of the legislature and marking a watershed moment in the nearly century-long effort to add protections for women to the U.S. Constitution. The votes capped an emotional week in which Democrats — particularly female lawmakers who now hold unprecedented positions of power in Richmond — celebrated [moral] history in the making.https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/2020/01/15/0475d51a-36f1-11ea-9541-9107303481a4_story.html .
