How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1918. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The crown continued to be held by the Wittelsbachs until the kingdom came to an end in 1918.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 16 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
Theories that apply to its ending
Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.
