The March Action (German: März Aktion or Märzkämpfe in Mitteldeutschland, i.e. "The March battles in Central Germany")[1] was a failed communist uprising in 1921, led by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), the Communist Workers' Party of Germany (KAPD), and other far-left organisations. It took place in the industrial regions of Halle, Leuna, Merseburg, and Mansfeld, in the Province of Saxony.[1] The revolt ended in defeat for the communists, and a weakening of contemporary communist influence in Weimar Germany.
