German Revolution of 1918-1919

The German Revolution of 1918-1919 was a series of events that led to the end of Germany's monarchy and the establishment of a republic. It began with widespread unrest among soldiers and workers frustrated by World War I losses and harsh conditions. As protests grew, the Kaiser abdicated in November 1918, and Germany transitioned from a monarchy to a democratic republic. The revolution also involved significant political struggles, including the rise of socialist and communist groups. Ultimately, it resulted in the creation of the Weimar Republic, marking Germany's shift to democracy, but also sowing challenges that affected its future stability.
