DBWI Bravaria doesn't rebel

In three days the Kingdom of Bravaria will throw a party to celibrate their declaration independence from the rest of germany.

Its hard to belive but its been over a hundred years since the Bravarian people got sick of the great war and declared independence. In that hot day in june 1917 they declared independence and rebelled, when the war ended in 1918 the kingdom was given back to its former royal family and declared an independent country.

But what if the Bavarian's didn't rebel how would that change the great war and world history?
 
Germany probably would had still lost the war due American entry to the war. But perhaps Germany would had remained as unified nation instead being totally dissolved to several smaller nations.

This...

Bavaria's outright Rebellion did end up opening the dam that is resentment against Prussian Domination and desire to escape out of the war unscathed.

Kingdoms of Saxony, Hesse, Wurrtenberg, and Hanover quickly cut off ties to Prussia and seceded, turning their guns against Prussian Loyalists, who tried to salvage the situation but failed utterly due to how sudden and unexpected the mass betrayals back then.

Prussia themselves end up accepting defeat due to overwhelming odds against them, and there is still obvious tension between Prussia and the rest of the German Kingdoms, especially Bavaria due to all to real "Shot in the Back" moment as the Separatist Kingdom troops did end up literally shooting their Prussian loyalist comrades in the back when they still in the trenches when the news are coming.

When we are thinking about this now, that was literally the moment non-Prussian Germans getting their betrayer stereotype. The pictures of Prussian officers being gunned down suddenly by their comrades is one of the most harrowing things happened in history, especially the ones captured in the Paintings of Adolf Hitler, a Veteran Prussian Painter.

It probally doesn't help that Prussia was left with the entirety of the reperations bill while Bavaria and the other kingdoms walked away scot free
 
How did the Bavarian Separatists even manage to secretly prepare their massive backstab while keeping it secret ? I know there are a lot of Brazilian action movies on this event, which always paint it this way (Bavarian soldiers were all part of the plot, none said anything to their officers or Prussian comrades even though they had fought with them for three years).

But in real life, it never happens this way. If there's a conspiracy with many involved, there'll be leaks quickly.

I mean, I love Brazilian blockbusters as much as anyone else, but realism is not their prime quality.

For that matter, if Germany hadn't exploded, it might have won the war, and then German cinema might have dominated the world, instead of Brazilian movies.

Having read the historical accounts it was less a cleaver plan and more years of grivances with the Prussian leadership plus one of the largest wars in European history that was in the process of being lost all blowing up at once.

In fact the entire uprising was just kind of adhock, and really only serious gained traction when a minor member of house Wittlesbach with a weak claim on the Bavarian throne declared himself king, and then took over the mob as its semi leader.

The idea of a carefully planned rebellion and revolution isn't really panned out in the historical texts and is a later invention of angry Prussian nationalists and Bavarian nationalists.

Bavaria had been a monarchy under the Wittelsbach- Dynasty. The German territories stayed monarchies/Free States after the declaration of the Second Reich in 1871. Not independent but autonomous states. Until 1918. The Bavarian king Ruprecht resigned like the other German princes and the Kaiser.
