Revolt - as in revolt period. Not "revolt away." His opinion of the Emperor would be irrelevant. The idea of him revolting, period, is more or less ludicrous.

Most Germans, imo, still supported the monarchy after WWI. Nothing to do with being "worthy" - the more anti-monarch groups took power right after he made a bad decision to leave. What is surprising, quite frankly, is that that situation did not change back to the monarchy after a few years.

The idea that it would have happened without WWI just is not plausible.

French were, imo, in no position to fight Germany at that time, and they knew it. Would not try it.
