Emperor Wilhelm II abdicated the throne. Wilhelm II fled to the Netherlands on the 9th of November 1918,
as did his chancellor, Maximillian, prince of Baden. The German Empire completely collapsed.
Philipp Scheidemann, proclaimed the Republic from the balcony of the Reichstag, the German Parliament.
Scheidemann acted without authorization from his superiors at the SPD (Social Democrats) due to fears that the communists would seize power. He turned out to be right.

Hachikō (ハチ公, November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death.

Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo, as his pet. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return.

During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity. Since his death, he continues to be remembered worldwide in popular culture with statues, movies and books. Hachikō is known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō, "faithful dog Hachikō" and the suffix -kō originating as one once used for ancient Chinese dukes, though in this context, it was an affection addition to his name Hachi, "Hachikō" could be roughly translated as "little Hachi".
