      He wasn’t in charge, tried to overthrow the government the first time but failed, spent 6 years pandering, and then he was the absolute authority for over a decade leading up to his death. The only thing that stopped him was Germany being conquered by the Allies and USSR.

          The revolution itself was successful, I made no claims on the system of government that followed it.
