Kaiser Wilhelm II. X After Dark

[@ivkobear5291]

If the mistake was wanting to be a world power like neighboring countries had been for centuries, yes, then he may have made the mistake too late, but he wasn't alone. Germany's destiny was its late birth. Carting troops from 2/3 of the world was not possible. The Germans couldn't have scores of Indians and Africans bleeding for them in the trenches. They had to bleed themselves.

Wilhelm was the last man who tried to stop WW1 till the very end.

Even the naval expansion was about protecting German trade and intrests. However the brits couldn't take that they had a new economical "rival" and they tried to paint the whole thing in a way it was all about them. Even the Royal Navys officers aknowledged that Wilhelms naval expansion was completely rational and justified to keep it's own colonies. Wilhelm even made the peoples life better, he put a lot of money for poor peoples agricultural life and made the factories more pleasant to work.

No one ever blamed the New World. The Germans always understood that these very young states had allowed themselves to be tricked by the aggressive British. These young oversea states did not know what they were doing. The British knew very well and they and the French were responsible. However, I don't know what you mean by regaining glory. It is a common historical fact in science that Europe was destroyed as a global power in two self-destructions. From today's perspective, one has to say that it was a self-destruction of the entire western world. The white man is dying out and, to be honest, I'm not so sure that's such a bad thing for the world.

Spectacular montage indeed. Wilhelm is some kind of an enigma to me. He was an aggressively assertive leader for Germany, the ultimate evolution of what Bismarck brought, the only difference between the two is that he preferred to throw his weight around as if it was necessary to cause so many crisis. He liked to play soldier a lot, but he also understood the gravity of WW1… Bad thing he was on vacation on his yacht during the July crisis. I can’t forgive him for not pulling his crap together and demonstrating the weight of his balls to the world, cancelling mobilization first and showing the Russians that war would not come. He didn’t. Even when that desperate messages between the Tzar and the Kaiser were exchanged (calling each other Nickie and Willy), they just were not strong enough to do it. I wonder what they would have done, have they been less corrupted by expectations and the image they portrayed of themselves (Wilhelm was evidently disturbed and Nicholas was inept). The world was plunged into darkness for decades because two weak men couldn’t back down. Have you ever read the final letter that Wilhelm wrote about Hitler while in exile before he died? He was pretty lucid in that final hour, bad thing he was not when it was needed of him.

[@Arthur-xx5zc]

The men who started World War I were based in Belgrade, St. Petersburg, Paris and London. The Serbian secret service planned the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand with the knowledge of the Russian secret service. And that wasn't the first attack. Since 1908 there have always been some in Bosnia. Austria-Hungary therefore had to defend itself if it did not want its multinational empire to fall apart. Germany knew this and had to help Vienna. The other major powers also knew that Austria-Hungary was fighting for its survival. And they also knew that Germany would help Vienna. The French government at the time, especially President Poincaré, had no interest in preventing a world war, which he could easily have done. Neither does the English government. Especially Lloyd George. Not Germany, but Great Britain finally had the opportunity to prevent the outbreak of the world war. All it had to do was moderate France and Russia and the time would have come for negotiations. But Lloyd George didn't want that. He saw the favorable opportunity to get rid of the German competitor. France, Russia and England would have joined forces even if someone other than Kaiser Wilhelm had ruled Germany. Anyone who thinks that their foreign policy is to blame for the outbreak of World War I knows far too little about the motives of their opponents: France wanted to take back Alsace-Lorraine and take revenge for the lost war of 1870/71. The national honor of the French demanded it. And Russia's motivation for waging the war in 1914 resulted from the internal tensions of the Tsarist Empire. Because of their anti-social, inhuman domestic politics, they were on the edge of the revolution and tried to rally the people behind them again with pan-Slavic politics in the Balkans. The Danube monarchy was in the way. And England feared that Germany would become economically stronger.

I am sorry about the damage caused to Germany in both the wars. Some of my family are from Bavaria, the rest from the United Kingdom, and I hope that the violence of the past can be put behind us.

At least Wilhelm recognized just how much damage the war could do, not every leader did. Thanks for keeping this history alive, and cheers to a peaceful future between our nations. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪

[@Jürgen_von_Schumacher]

I recently watched Jack's video on Kaiser Wilhelm II. Needless to say, it was little more than common American propaganda trying to pin the war on him because of his domestic policy and blame the whole war on Germany and Austria-Hungary... For all of his flaws, he had a great quality that very few leaders have in today's world. He loved Germany. He inherited the strongest country in the world and he only sought to strengthen it and do what he thought was best for it. He developed his navy which Britain treated as an intolerable act of aggression, because God forbid a nation getting a better navy. He developed his colonies largely and put them under command of some of the most competent generals I've heard of in history. He fought tooth and nail for his Reich, as did his army. And for that, he is called the second worst leader in German history and people still just want to blame the whole war on him. Now Germans go so far to spit on him and Prussia itself. Sometimes I wonder how we can call ourselves German when we've moved so far from our founding fathers and the Prussians of old. Germany was one of the strongest nations then, capable of defending itself from a unified front against America, Britain, France, and Russia. Whether we will admit it or not, the abdication of our last Kaiser brought about the end of Germany and killed the dream so many fought and bled for from 1848-1871. It only left room for a worse monster to come out of it. The fall of the kingdom of France brought Napoleon. The fall of the German Empire brought Hitler. The fall of the Russian Empire brought Lenin and Stalin. Now our Fatherland will always be a shadow of itself. Rest in peace, mein Kaiser. Perhaps one day, our country will regain its monarchy and you can finally be brought to rest in true German soil.
