在我们“揭秘革命”系列节目的这一期中，我们将深入探讨这段被遗忘的历史篇章。
In this episode of our series "Unmasking Revolutions," we dive deep into this forgotten chapter of history.
1918年11月，德国水兵拒绝在一场毫无意义的战斗中送命，并点燃了一场革命，在短短几周内推翻了德皇、结束了第一次世界大战，并赋予了女性投票权。这是历史上最成功的民主革命之一，然而几乎无人知晓。
In November 1918, German sailors refused to die in a pointless battle and sparked a revolution that would overthrow the Kaiser, end World War I, and gave women the right to vote — all within a matter of weeks. It was one of the most successful democratic revolutions in history, yet hardly anyone knows about it.
这场革命将德国从一个专制君主国转变为议会民主制，并使德国女性获得投票权的时间早于美国、英国和法国。
The revolution transformed Germany from an authoritarian monarchy into a parliamentary democracy and gave German women voting rights ahead of the United States, United Kingdom and France.
但故事并未就此结束：这场最初基本上和平的起义很快陷入了暴力和政治混乱之中，并在此后几十年里一直挥之不去地困扰着德国。
But the story didn't end there: What started as a largely peaceful uprising soon descended into violence and political chaos that would haunt Germany for decades to come.
