See Marshall Dill, Jr., Germany, A Modern History, Univ. of Michigan Press, Ann Harbor, 1970, pp. 248-9.  The Kaiser was given an ultimatum to abdicate on Nov. 8, 1918.  He replied he might resign as Emperor but remain as King of Prussia, who appointed enough seats in the upper house to block any amendment to the Constitution.  There was an uprising in Berlin.  On his own a leader in Berlin announced the Kaiser had abdicated.  On the night before the end of the war the Kaiser fled to Holland and had the protection of the Dutch queen.  "It was not until almost three weeks later that he drew up an act of abdication."
