On this day, 28 January 1918, hundreds of thousands of workers went on a general strike against war in Berlin, and across the country in the next few days up to 4,000,000 or more took to the streets. The government declared a state of siege three days later and arrested strike ringleaders, imprisoned 150 and drafted 50,000 more men who were sent to the front. But this failed to dampen the unrest for long, as later that year revolution broke out and ended the war.
