What was Scheidemann labelled as, that led to his exile?

  • "November Criminal"

  • "Desert Rat"

  • "Berlin Bandit"

  • "Scheidemann Spy"

Answer

"November Criminal" was the label given to the signatories of the armistice that ended World War I on November 11, 1918. This label was used by the far right to discredit the Weimar Republic, which was established after the war. The term was used to suggest that the politicians who signed the armistice were responsible for Germany's defeat in the war.
