History Question: What are the four key dates in Germany history that all occurred on November 9th? The declaration of the democratic Weimar Republic and the end of the monarchy (1918), Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch (1923), Kristallnacht (1938), and the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) -- all occurred on November 9th.
