Since he was a mysterious figure the kids(grandfather and his friends) were afraid of them and just peeks him sometimes. One day he asks his father who he was and the father replied: 'That man was a once powerful man, he wanted more power but he couldn't achieve to gain it. He lost everything and now, he lives here with us.' " I think it is a cool story especially if it is true.

The Kaiser's only mistake was being unable to stop his chancellor to give a blank cheque to Austria. Nobody remembers that he built the navy, and strengthened the army, he used the industrial complexes of Germany, built over generations and turned Germany into the economic hotspot on planet earth for decades. People forget that it was under him that great minds were trained, talent without training is nothing. Germany didn't build its power on the corpses of millions unlike the French, the Imperial Russians, and the British who sacrificed tens of millions. He built Germany what it was, he even respected workers' rights, something Bismarck never wanted. Bismarck was a great foreign minister, but a terrible one at domestic policies, his only approach being using force, which only buys short-term insurance for the nation. The Kaiser offered Bismarck the position of FM, but Bismarck being the tantrum-thrower he was (I still respect him deeply for his foreign policy) said he wanted to either be Chancellor or get retirement.

Expect. Kaiser Wilhelm literally fled to their Netherlands after the war, because of the German revolutions, and the USA wanting to arrest him for war crimes. And then he died in 1942 with words of after hearing of Kristallnacht, and the Nazis rise to power, “For once, I am ashmed to be German”. He contributed hugely to the First World War, and then got angry when people didn’t wanna keep fighting for a war they could see they were already losing. Hitler, on the other hand. Literally did the same like him. He couldn’t flee to another country, considering he was surrounded in Berlin, and Soviet troops were already outside his bunker. So he did the only thing possible, aside of probably being tortured to death. He shot himself. Knowing Wilhelm, if he was in the same situation, he would definitely also do that. Nobody here is better than the other. Both are terrible, but one is definitely more worse.

"Gave my life" is a figure of speech for investing ones life energy, purpose, resources etc towards something, in this case his country. To discredit that figure of speech for him would be entirely disingenuous both to him and his country men. Especially the laborers of his country that helped build the German economy and spent decades of their life performing hard labor to build.

Yet Marx and many Jews actually blame their own people for their selfishness and their lack of dedication to the nation they live in and their fatherland. Yet, this is a very biased point of view, but it relates to the fact that during the 19th and early 20th century, as Jews were integrated as citizens in many nations in Europe, they actually faced resentment, had to deal with centuries of being put aside and spoiled, as well as having seen "nationalist parties" with their own agenda emerging (see Theodor Herzl, sionism, and more especially the multiple Jewish riots that advocated for a Jewish sovereignty of its own, which is as problematic as it is understandable in the complex context of the era). Jewish people were more than often seen as secessionists and enemies of the nation. Past the ethnicist and racist amalgam, a non-negligeable part of them stood that way. And such dissension feeds civil war concerns.

Bismarck may have been a good diplomat but he was terrible when it came to domestic matters. Similar to Churchill in that regards. Bismarck didn’t want to give workers’ rights, maternity leave, and didn’t support social welfare. He even put forward a proposal to get rid of the socialist party and stamp out social reforms. It was Kaiser Wilhelm II that wanted to give workers’ rights and social benefit and welfare. Bismarck was a bully. He usually threatened to resign if things didn’t go his way and that usually worked under Wilhelm’s predecessor but when Wilhelm called Bismarck’s bluff he was left scrambling. Wilhelm was a good ruler. He didn’t want war. He didn’t want an expansive colonial empire. Wilhelm wanted to rearm the navy because he admired the British and wished to emulate them. He wanted to uplift the fatherland and be remembered as a good emperor.

The communists were worth stamping out when you look at Russia in 1917 and Germany in 1918. Ultimately Wilhelm was an absolute failure. He set out to gain an alliance with Britain, and ended up turning British support against himself. When things went wrong he blamed everyone but himself. He was warned that a 2 front war would be difficult, and he rushed into it. Moreover, he invaded Belgium and pulled the entire British empire into the war, if he hadn't have done that he might have had a shot at victory, but no, this idiot has to shoot himself in the foot at EVERY SINGLE TURN. He even cancelled his alliance with Russia, then throwing Russia into the arms of the French. He was the most stupid and self centred German leader to ever exist

I am not German but their history is something to be remembered, there are people who wanted peace amidst those times of war, but some people only saw the damage it dealt, there are true heroes among those soldiers sailors and pilots

Bismarck knew the Germany would be doomed if the French, British and Russian became alliances. He told Kaiser to isolate France not the other way around.
