Correct Answer:

Abduction of the Kaiser

Explanation:

During the transition to the Weimar Republic, Wilhelm II stepped down from the throne and fled to the Netherlands. The German Revolution shattered the empire, and the new government moved to establish a republic. His abdication on 9 November 1918 and subsequent exile marked the end of the monarchy and made the Weimar Republic possible. He did not stay in power, was not abducted, and was not executed. He spent the rest of his life in exile in the Netherlands.
