Kingdom Of Bavaria
The Kingdom of Bavaria (german: Königreich Bayern; ; spelled ''Baiern'' until 1825) was a German state that succeeded the former Electorate of Bavaria in 1805 and continued to exist until 1918.

In 1918, Bavaria became a republic after the German Revolution, and the kingdom was thus succeeded ...
