German strike of January 1918

German strike of January 1918 was a strike against the First World War which spread across Germany. It lasted from 25 January to 1 February 1918. It is known as the "Januarstreik", as distinct from the "Jännerstreik" which preceded it spreading across the Austro-Hungarian Empire between January 3 and 25, 1918. The strike began in Berlin on 28 January and spread across the rest of Germany, but finally collapsed.[1]
