Subject: Germany keeps its Monarchy after Versailles?
DaemonAngel    9/25/2009 7:23:53 PM
Would a hereditary monarchy (but with Wilhelm II's abdication) have made things just a little more difficult for tyrants like Hitter from become a head of state? In other words, could a path to democracy been a little more certain had a constitutional monarchy been maintained in Germany after WWI? After all many Germans saw the Wiemar Republic as a collection of corrupt puppets and thus damaged democracy's chances. Could something more stabilizing and familiar have made true democracy more likely? Although Mussolini became dictator despite the monarchy, in the long run it help ensure continuity as Italy change sides and El Douche was assassinated. Just a thought.
