- In Russia, Lenin and the Bolsheviks have seized power and the Russians choose to make peace with Germany and withdraw from the war. To Germany's great disadvantage, however, America has decided to join World War I on the Allied side after a German U-boat sunk the British ocean liner Lusitania with 128 Americans aboard. In 1918, both the German and Austrian armies have suffered great casualties at the hands of the Allied forces and the new Austrian Emperor Karl begs Kaiser Wilhelm to make peace with the Allies before it is too late.—Anonymous
- With the U.S. entry into the war in 1917, it becomes obvious to the Germans that the war cannot be won. The Romanovs have been killed by the Bolsheviks and for Kaiser Wilhelm II, the losses are becoming too great. He reluctantly agrees to advice that they seek an armistice. As Germany descends into chaos - general strikes, riots, mass desertion of the military - the Kaiser resists attempts to have him abdicate. In the end, he is forced out and finds himself virtually alone and without any political support, eventually seeking asylum in Holland. With Emperor Karl of the Austro-Hungarian empire having fled as well, the last of the eagles has fallen.—garykmcd
