Shortly after the end of World War I in November 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated the throne and fled to exile in the Netherlands. He sought refuge in the Netherlands to avoid potential capture and prosecution for war crimes. Wilhelm lived in exile there until his death in 1941, largely estranged from German affairs and the monarchy's decline. His abdication marked the end of the German Empire and the establishment of the Weimar Republic.
