View question detailsBy 1918, Germany's military position had already collapsed, and the old imperial order fell after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated. The new democratic government had to deal with the armistice and the consequences of defeat; it had not started the war in 1914. Therefore, portraying it as the original cause of military defeat distorts the chronology. A common confusion is that the new government accepted the armistice, but it did so in conditions created by an earlier military defeat. Exam tip: remember the sequence—war began in 1914, while the Weimar order emerged in 1918–19.
