How it ended, as its article says
Replaced, 1920-11-01. Read from the article's section “History - End of the kingdom” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
Within the newly formed Weimar Republic, on 1 November 1920, the Kingdom of Saxony was reorganized into the Free State of Saxony.

Rulers
The line of Queen Consort of Saxony.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frederick Augustus I of Saxony | 1806 – 1827 | 21 years | died in office, manner not recordedread off the dates alone |
4 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1806 – 1827. Only 21 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 19 causes the record names and 6 results, 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.

Applies by its own logic: the condition it names held here, and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — adverse regime change or the state's ending.
