The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to grant territories to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland and to give up all of its colonies. It forced Germany to reduce its military forces to 100,000 men and allowed for the occupation of the Rhineland by the Allied forces. Germany was forced to accept full responsibility for initiating World War I. France demanded huge reparation payments. The defeated powers felt the Treaty was unfair and soon violated the military and financial conditions. When Hitler came into power, he promised to take back the German territories and to demilitarize the Rhineland. The promise of becoming a world power again made the people support him. On September 1, 1939 Hitler invaded Poland. France and Britain declared war on Germany two days later. This was the beginning of World War II.
The main event that ended the Russian monarchy was the February Revolution. It was a spontaneous demonstration against the Tsar's government which turned riotous and spread to many other cities. The Tsar tried to order police and military forces to put down the riots, but they refused to obey him. In fact, many soldiers even joined in the riots.
Tsar Nicholas realized that the only way to end the violence was to abdicate his throne. He signed the abdication papers in March 1917 ending 300 years of the Romanov monarchy. The Provisional Government was instituted to govern the country until a Constituent Assembly could be seated, but the Provisional Government was overthrown in the October Revolution also known as the Bolshevik Revolution. The Bolshevik Revolution is not the revolution which ended the Russian monarchy, because the monarchy had already ended 8 months earlier.
