THIS MONTH IN HISTORY

November, 1918 -- the German revolution

The causes of the German revolution of 1918 were the extreme burdens suffered by the population during the four years of the First World War, the strong impact of the defeat on the German Empire and the social tensions between the general population and the elite of aristocrats and bourgeoisie who held power and had just lost the war.

The roots of the revolution lay in the German Empire's defeat in the War and the social tensions that came to a head shortly thereafter.
