Events in 1918

In late 1918, the Allies were prepared to discuss an end to hostilities, but only on the understanding that Kaiser Wilhelm made his country more democratic.

When the Kaiser refused, his people rose up in revolution.

The Kaiser was forced to abdicate and a German republic was established.

In November 1918, the new rulers signed the Armistice which brought hostilities to an end.

The following year, they signed the Treaty of Versailles, which laid out detailed peace terms.

For detailed events in 1918, see the next slide.

Events in 1918 – timeline

Should Germany sign the Armistice?

What were the results of the Armistice?

Friedrich Ebert, the leader of the Social Democrats (SPD) became the first elected president of the Weimar Republic. The government was called this because it established itself in the small town of Weimar, rather than the unstable Berlin.

Signing the Armistice in November 1918 gave the new republic some breathing space. The country’s first free elections were held in January 1919.
