[The Death of the King. 1918 and the End of Monarchy in Germany]On 9 November 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II fled to the Netherlands into exile. This marked the end of German monarchy. Henceforth, Wilhelm II was regarded a coward and identified as the chief culprit of World War One.
What is little known today is that things could have turned out very differently: plans were made to let the Kaiser die a "heroic death" on the frontline and thus save the monarchy.
The downfall of German monarchy retrospectively darkened the image of the Wilhelmine era - unjustly? Winston Churchill was convinced that a strong parliamentary monarchy would have prevented Hitler from rising to power. Countries like Great Britain or Sweden who maintained their monarchies were able to give their democracies tradition and stability.
With regard to recent research on monarchy this book takes a fresh look at 20th century European history.
