Free State of Saxe-Gotha
From Warlike
The Free State of Saxe-Gotha was a small, short-lived (1918–1920) central German state during the early years of the Weimar Republic. It was formed following the dissolution of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha during the German revolution of 1918–1919. Saxe-Coburg split away and formed a separate state due in part to the more radical nature of the revolution in Saxe-Gotha. The federal government saw the strength of Saxe-Gotha's workers' movement as a potential threat and twice sent troops against them.
