What was the relation of the German Revolution of 1918 with the Weimar Republic?

Correct answer: It ended monarchy and opened the way for the republic

The direct answer is A: the German Revolution of 1918 ended the monarchy and opened the way for a republic. To understand this, remember the sequence. Germany lost the First World War, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated, and the old imperial monarchy collapsed. A new democratic government was then formed and its constitution was prepared at Weimar, so it became known as the Weimar Republic. Option A is correct because the revolution created the political conditions for this change. Option B is wrong because the Weimar Republic came after the revolution; it was not ended by it. Option C is wrong because Nazi rule began later, after political and economic crises and Hitler’s rise, not directly through the 1918 revolution. Option D is wrong because France did not become Germany’s monarchy or appoint a German king. Remember: 1918 revolution means monarchy falls; Weimar Republic follows.
