Just a small correction: Liebknecht first voted NO on 2nd December 1914
and Otto Rühle joined him on 20th March 1915.

There were parliamentary votes for war appropriations twice a year,
for the initial vote in August 1914 party discipline held so that the
anti-war minority was repressed and news media reported a unanimous
vote for war (shocking Lenin). For the next vote in early 1915 Karl
Liebknecht broke party discipline and voted No. In fall 1915 Otto
Ruhle joined Liebknecht in voting No. By the early 1916 vote, with
antiwar sentiment and organizing growing, a sizable minority voted No;
they were expelled from the SPD parliamentary group and formed the
Social Democratic Working Group (SAG). The antiwar movement in the
SPD (and generally) and the SAG antiwar parliamentary vote continued
to grow until by early 1917 they were a threat to control of the party
and they were expelled from the SPD. In April 1917 what had been the
anti-war wing of the SPD formed the Independent Social Democratic
Party, the USPD.

The Spd deputies actually didn’t abstain but voted in favor of war
credits, with the only exception of Karl Liebknecht.
