2. Beerenbrouck, Charles Ruijs de (International Encyclopedia of the Firzt World War).
Excerpt - turbulent times: Ruijs de Beerenbroucks government soon ran into unforeseen war-related difficulties. On 10 November 1918, the ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941) asked for political asylum. He was not a welcome guest; the Dutch government feared the Allies might demand his extradition and they did not want to antagonize the Entente. However, it was decided that following his abdication, the ex-Kaiser qualified for refugee status and should therefore be granted political asylum.(Submitted on May 19, 2024.)
Two days later the socialist leader Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930) announced in parliament that the revolution had spread to Holland and demanded that the government relinquish power. Ruijs de Beerenbrouck refused, called in the army to secure strategic positions and diffused the revolutionary tension by substantially increasing food rations, asking for the unpopular commander-in-chiefs resignation and announcing plans for imminent demobilisation and social reforms.
