Karl Liebknecht
Karl Liebknecht was a prominent German socialist and co-founder of the Spartacus League, a revolutionary socialist group that later became known as the Communist Party of Germany. He was a vocal critic of World War I and was imprisoned for his anti-war activism. Liebknecht played a key role in the German Revolution of 1918-1919 and was ultimately assassinated in 1919 during a crackdown on leftist uprisings. His legacy endures as a symbol of resistance against militarism and authoritarianism in Germany.
