Answer

Germany's defeat in World War I marked the outbreak of the German Revolution. The defeat in the war was devastating for the German people, and they were angry at the government for its role in the loss. The revolution began in November 1918, when soldiers in Kiel mutinied and took control of the city. The revolution quickly spread to other parts of Germany, and the government was forced to abdicate.
