The '''Kapp Putsch''', also known as the '''Kapp–Lüttwitz Putsch''', named after its leaders [[Wolfgang Kapp]] and [[Walther von Lüttwitz]], was an attempted coup against the German national government in Berlin on 13 March 1920. Its goal was to undo the German Revolution of 1918–1919, overthrow the Weimar Republic, and establish an autocratic government based on [[fascism]] in its place. It was supported by parts of the ''Reichswehr'', as well as nationalist and monarchist factions.
