Idris of Libya (1969)		His pro-Western attitude and lack of panarabism lead to him being ousted by Libyan army officers in 1969 while being treated in Turkey
Caliph Abdülmecid II (1924) - the sultanate was abolished in 1922 with the ousting of Mehmed VI		Fearing that expectations for a return of power to the caliph, made the regents precedor abolish the caliphate, and thereby becoming one step closer to his plans of a modern, secular Turkey
Prince Kiril of Bulgaria (1946)		With the Soviets entering Bulgaria (as Bulgaria had been a part of the Axis Powers) they quickly sought to intimidate any non-communist opposition, and help the existing communist powers gain power - this happened through a provisional government.
Puyi (1911)		The population of China in the start 1900 cared little for politics, yet the government (monarchy) were blamed for the hunger, floodings, corruption, and the fact that most high-ranked citizens were foreigners - this and the recent Boxer Rebellion led to an overthrowing of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing-dynasty and China, by nationalist powers

Former Ruler	Successor	Info
King Louis XVI (1792) - name the leader of the 'Jacobins'		The overthrow of King Louis XVI was sparkled by the critical state of French rule. The revolutionaries, though, never managed to create a stable republic and the banner carriers of the revolution fell out of favor, and were executed just one year after the Revolution, whereafter Napoleon, ironically, ceased power and established a new monarchy. Monarchy in France was first to be completely abolished in 1870, after having lost to Bismarck's Prussia.
Bogd Khan (1924) Mongolia - Jadambaa's preecedor, as he only reigned for one day		Mongolia constituted itself after the Xinhai-Revolution in China as an independent, Tibetanian, monarchy led by their spiritual leader Bogd Khan. The transition from monarchy to republic happened quickly, yet the banning of the search for a new Bogd Khan was banned and Mongolia remained a republic later to become under communist influence.
King Zog, Ahmed Bey Zogu (1939)		King Zog fled the country during Mussolinis invasion of Albania
Wilhelm II		The German Revolution was a reaction to the lost World War 1, where Prussia (Germany) was dissolved.
Ferdinand VII (1824, Bolivia)		This Latinamerican nationalist and general drove Spain from many South American countries including Bolivia (first completely independent after the Civil War in 1825)

	Please accept Gadaffi, Gadafi, Qadafi, Qadaffi, Kadafi, Kaddaffi and probably about a half dozen others which are commonly used to spell his name.

	I like the idea, but I think it's factually wrong in several instances largely owing to the upheaval that generally follows the overthrow of a monarchy. Specifically, Muhammad Naguib was the first President of Egypt after the abdication of Farouk; Nasser didn't take control until late 1954. Sun Yat-Sen did not succeed Puyi. He was the president of the "Republic of China" while the Republic was still an opposition group. By the time Puyi abdicated, Yuan Shikai was president of the Republic of China and it was Shikai who succeeded Puyi. Friedrich Ebert was the first President of the Weimar Republic and assumed directly the powers of the monarchy from Prince Max of Baden. Schiedemann proclaimed the Republic, but didn't assume office as chancellor until 1919. I don't think it's accurate to identify Robespierre as the successor to Louis XVI. The Convention became the French government upon the abolition of the French monarchy in 1792, and Robespierre didn't come to power until the next year. But I don't really have a better answer for that one given the revolutionary anarchy of the Convention.

	I agree, but I did not wanna include the transisitions, Naguib served as the president but was thrown off because of intern conflicts between him and Nasser, which shows the real terms of power. As to Sun Yat-sen, it is true that he was the provisional president of the Republic of China but the fact is that he was the FIRST president in China, and the most prominent figure of him and Yuan Shikai, with the young emperor only serving as a marionette puppet. It's true the French Revolution didn't have one leader, but I thought of it as a vital point in history, so I had to add it! I'll correct them and thanks for the feedback!

	Sun may have been more prominent, but when your question is who was the "successor" to Puyi, he's the wrong answer. Sun was no longer president of the Republic of China when Puyi abdicated. I can go either way on Robespierre--I think there can be a number of different answers there. But as to who "succeeded" the monarchs named, Schiedemann, Sun, and Nasser are simply incorrect. As I said, I like the idea. I just think it needs some clean-up.
