As culminate to happen or exist as the final result of a process or situation I don't really think it has an opposite or at least can't think of anything. In your blank I would use the word resulted.

Culminate means finishing something with a high note. So it would make sense to say "begin" is the antonym; don't you think?

Culminate is just the final result of a process good or bad so Ivanhr is correct in saying that you could use it. Begin is the antoym to end and culminate is more complex than that.
