Hi!

I've got written down that the Kiel Mutiny happened because of the last ditch effort of the German government to try and get the navy to go up against the British navy, but instead there was a mutiny.

I hope this is right lol

Yep! But i just wanted to clarify something. The British Navy, as many of y'all know, out gunned and were in every way shape and form superior to the German navy at the time of the order. Thus, it was pretty much a suicide mission out of desperation. The sailors mutinied in part due to the weariness throughout the war and the poor conditions of Germany due to the Entente blockade. Mainly though, it was because they would be definitely blown to bits had they gone through with the order.
