In 1917, Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg had to resign. With his course of integrating the SPD in the so-called "Burgfrieden" and his rejection of radical annexionism, he had made enemies on the right side of the political spectrum, especially the powerful (de facto) military dictator Erich Ludendorff, who had e.g. referred to his approval of the abolition of the three-class suffrage in Prussia as "kowtowing before the revolution".
Let's say Ludendorff dies in 1914 and another OHL takes control after the resignation of Falkenhayn in 1916. Would they still put pressure on the chancellor?
