Karl Liebknecht was assassinated during the same arrest as Rosa Luxemburg and 2 other founders of the Spartacus League died early in 1919 as well, so the League came to an end.
In the beginning of 1919 there were several revolts, strikes and establishments of communist council republics (on local level). They were violently overthrown by government and paramilitary troops, and the temporary government ended up founding the Weimar republic (still in 1919). The centrist parties chose to align with the old elites over the revolutionaries. In this context the Nazi party was founded in 1920.

"The concrete-and-steel structure demonstrates the new technical possibilities of the industrial age. To ensure the rapid transport of goods and merchandise, massive interventions were made in the river courses. New canals were created for the coal mines. The family of Hugo Stinnes, on the left in the picture, initiated and financed the construction of the Rhine-Herne Canal, as they owned several coal mines. As a representative of the steel and iron industry, Stinnes is depicted as a walking safe. Standing next to him is Walther Rathenau, the politician and lobbyist for the electrical industry. On the right is the American banker Frank A. Vanderlip, who, with a sharpened pencil in hand, is waiting to take notes. He visited Europe [... in] 1921 and assessed the economic situation of individual countries. Not far from this group stands a scantily clad woman wearing a large hat and hold-up stockings. She is photographing the idyllic scene featuring the Hohenecken castle ruins near Kaiserslautern and a portly member of the petty bourgeoisie." (see ALT)
