AHC: Dutch monarchy abolished in the 20th century

What circumstances would be required for the Dutch monarchy to be abolished sometime in the 20th century? Preferably sometime before the 60s
 
Wilhelmina dies childless or then Netherlands joins to Central Powers on WW1 and they ctill lose the war.
 
"There were considerably more concerns over the royal dynasty's future, when Wilhelmina's marriage with Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (since 1901) repeatedly resulted in miscarriage. Had the House of Orange died out, the throne would likely have passed to Prince Heinrich XXXII Reuss of Köstritz, leading the Netherlands into an undesirable strong influence of the German Empire that would threaten Dutch independence.[41] Not just Socialists, but now also Anti-Revolutionary politicians including Prime Minister Abraham Kuyper and Liberals such as Samuel van Houten advocated the restoration of the Republic in Parliament in case the marriage remained childless.[26] The birth of Princess Juliana in 1909 put the question to rest." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_Netherlands

Other than that, I think you would need a Communist Netherlands and this could not possibly have come about unless the Red Army reached the North Sea.
 
An earlly one would be a succesful Troeltra-revolution. Don't know how you could make that happen though.

Have Dutch Queen being shamelessly Nazi sympathizer, this would cause...

Oh... wait...

This time Hitler won't invade Netherlands, and Netherlands would be Axis aligned. Perhaps being the one who invade and Annex Belgium.

If Netherlands being Axis aligned, Dutch East Indies will then sell their oil and steel to Japan, which will cause no Pearl Harbor. And thus no US cassus belli.

Let's say this time Roosevelt end up invading Japan and Dutch East Indies preemptively.

Oh wait, this would actually cause the public to swing the other way, and FDR end up impeached and US then stops helping allies while paying reparations to Japan and Netherlands.

Which resulted in Axis victory.

And thus the Dutch Monarchy being there to stay.
 
I can't see way how Netherlands is going to be pro-Axis or even Fascist. It is easier get the country to isde of Central Powers.
 
Queen Juliana is miscarried or never conceived and Queen Wilhelmina dies childless. The Dutch government not wanting to become the equivalent of a German colony abolishes the monarchy

Invade Japan and Dutch East Indies, what, without Congress approval? How exactly?

If the Dutch are pro-Nazi, and Britain is at war with the Netherlands, we'll probably see a British Indian/Australian or combined force invade the East Indies anyway, and they're not about to share their black gold with the Japs.
 
The socialist dutch government decides to prosecute Prince Bernard for bribery in the Lockheed-affair in 1976. Not only does this means that Juliana resigns, but all legit daughters refuse to take the throne. This is fine with elements in the government.

There's also the Greet Hofmans affair but the mood during the 50's wasn't anti-monarchy enough to lead to an abolishment, only an early abdication.

A third option that possibly can lead to an abolishment is that Wilhelmina creates a constitutional crisis in 1918 by stubornly refusing to accept a catholic prime minister to lead the cabinet. This lies in the posibilities of her character. She could be stuborn as a mule and she detested catholicism.

The only person getting impeached in this ASB scenario is Wilhelmina, right after she tries proposing an alliance with the Nazis.
