Getting rid of the German monarchy was a brilliant idea- not! The Serbs have a lot to answer for. We British should have stayed out of the and used it to our advantage. Sit back and see how things work out. We were not legally required to go to war over Belgium, merely to consider a response.

If I remember my history, the crown prince was in command of the army opposite the French during their army’s great mutiny during the Great War. When he received reports that the French had abandoned their trenches, he refused to believe it. He let the easiest of victories simply slip through his hands and we all know where that eventually led to.

No. His son, Louis Ferdinand, did, however. He spent time in Detroit, among other places, and became a friend of Henry Ford. Louis Ferdinand was interested in engineering. He also met Roosevelt. He distanced himself from the Nazis, and after the war, enjoyed a good reputation. There were many who wanted him to run for Bundespraesident. He declined, though, because he did not want to renounce his claim to a German throne.

The Treaty of Versailles was more or less the reason for WW2. They punished Germany way to hard. Many people even say the plan was to destroy the country completely through the treaty of versailles. Taking away Germany’s military (from 4 mio to only 100 thousand) was a big humiliation for them. The country had one of the most advanced military and it was definitely one of the biggest prides of the nation. Another problem was that in the territories that got taken away from them there lived many ethnic Germans who didn’t want to belong to the neighboring countries. Also Germany could’ve never payed the allies with the money they demanded from Germany. The country itself was in a huge economic crises. It was only a matter of time before another war would break out. (And don’t forget that they lost all their colonies in Africa and Asia) It was also not fair that Germany had to accept all the war guilt for a war they didn’t even start in the first place.

Actually the Kaiser was first cousin to Tsar Nicholas’s wife, the former princess Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt whose mother, princess Alice was the younger sister of the Kaiser’s mother, Princess Victoria- Louise of Great Britain. The Kaiser and Nicholas II weren’t actually “blood cousins.” King George V on the other hand was first cousin with the Kaiser as his father & the Kaiser’s mother were siblings. His mother, Queen Alexandra’s was the elder sister of the dowager Empress Maria of Russia, Nicholas II’s mother.

Well, yes, but language isn't passed on with the genes. He learned English, as his father did, who also spoke it as well as a native speaker. Many people are unaware of the ties between the Hohenzollerns and the English, going all the way back to the 18th century. There was a lot of intermarriage between the Hohenzollerns and the Hannoverians. Before Germany was united, those ties formed a foundation for German and British friendship, and even alliance in common causes.

Honestly i think Germany did ignite the powder keg that was 1914 Europe. However, its not like the whole situation was entirely Germanys fault. Its pretty likely that if Germany didnt support Austria-Hungary, the war wouldnt break out for some months or even years, but i dont think it changes a lot in the grand scheme of things. Wilhelm II was an idiot though. I dont think he was a mad man, and i also think people generally overestimate how much real power he had in 1914. He did try to prevent the war in some ways, so its pretty safe to assume he wasnt a warmongering mad man, but his efforts were quite poor to say the least. The treaty of Versailles wasnt justified. But thats a lot of hindsight and one can easily understand how especially the French felt after WW1. Im glad the allies learnt and did most stuff right post 1945 with regards to Germany.

1) He’s a high-born noble, son of the Kaiser, and heir apparent so he had a world-class education from the top tutors of Europe and likely spoke several languages. 2) Germans in general understand the world we live in is multicultural so they often learn the languages of trade and business: being often English and French. Continental Europeans tend to polyglots naturally due to living in close proximity. Germans often learn English in primary school so something like 60%-85% can speak English source depending as was expected if he had become Kaiser.
