I would like to know your opinion about the possibility of a transition from the German Reich to the Weimar Republic without the existence of the Treaty of Versailles.

That is, if the revolutions that put the end of the Reich and their monarchies would have anticipated the end of WWI and a faster transition to the Weimar Republic could have prevented the conditions imposed to Germany at Versailles.
