The Prussian Royal Family were not particularly renowned for their intellectual abilities. However, his mother was particularly intelligent. She took after the Coburg family. After she and her husband, then Crown Prince of Prussia, visited Pope Pius IX, the Pope wrote in his Journal “I am an old man and have met many people in my life - no one has ever impressed me so much, in terms of intellectual ability, as the Crown Princess of Prussia”. Had her husband lived, Germany would have proceeded in an entirely different direction. Unfortunately, William II, while intelligent, was too much obsessed with Prussian militarism and that was, eventually, his undoing. However, had he been at the centre of political affairs in the years leading up to the outbreak of the Great War, it would probably never have happened. He fully appreciated that going to war with Russia could only end disastrously - he had the example of Napoleon to consider. In 1908, he was very much affected by the Prince Zu Eulenburg scandal. He and the Prince had been very close friends and he relied upon him for emotional support. The Prince was also a political genius and the completion of the process of the unification of Germany was very much because of his diplomatic efforts with the smaller German states. After the scandal, the Kaiser was advised that he must never communicate with the Prince again and he had a sort of nervous breakdown as a result, which caused him to retire almost entirely from any active involvement in political affairs. He did make it clear to the Chancellor, Von Bethmann-Holweg, that he did not want war. However, the Chancellor had very little influence over the Generals, who had already decided that it was time for war. After the outbreak of war, the Generals demanded that the Kaiser take a back seat. He could present medals, but that was about all.
Was für ein rundes großes Gebäude ist da rechts von dem Tegetthoff-Denkmal zu sehen, das offenbar direkt im Prater steht? Großartige Aufnahmen! Dieses Video könnte ich ewig anschauen. 🤩
@@CodingKurzgeschichten das ist nicht die Rotunde, sondern das Zirkus Busch Kino. Die Rotunde stand am hinteren Teil vom heutigen WU Campus, ca. dort wo das Sport-Institut ist.
Die Rotunde wäre von diesem Blickwinkel rechts, eigentlich hinter dem Gebäude auf der rechten Seite, und da hätte man wahrscheinlich nur die Kuppel gesehen.
One only has to see Tsaritsa Alexandra's visage, to discern that she was ill at ease with people and frightened of the real Old Russia, beyond Tsarskoye Selo and Gatchina.She should have stayed in Hesse - Darmstadt and the Tsar should have married a more resolute Russian noble woman from the Obolensky - Dolgoruky, Galitzine or Mirsky families etc al.Tsardom failed the social and economic aspirations of rural and liberal and middle class Imperial Russia, a fatal mistake with industrialisation creeping onto an immovable Tsarist autocracy with a top - heavy Okhrana secret police.
Was für ein Segen muss es damals für Shitholecountries wie Ungarn, Tschechien, Slowenien usw. gewesen sein, einem solchen Staatsverband mit so einer prächtigen Hauptstadt anzugehören.
Was war das für ein großes rundes Gebäude im Wurstelprater bei 1:47? Weiß das jemand? Dachte erst, es wäre die Rotunde, aber die sah leicht anders aus und stand nicht so nah am Praterstern.
@@schurlbirkenbach1995 ja aber das Ding auf dem Foto sieht aus wie der Circus Gymnasticus, nicht wie die Rotunde. Edit: ich präzisiere: es war das "Zirkus Busch Kino". Bitte googlen und vergleichen. Circus Gymnasticus war der Vorgänger.
@@LungenStrudel der kann's nicht sein, denn der wurde 1852 abgerissen. Zumindest laut Wikipedia. Aber vielleicht hat die KI bei der Nachbearbeitung vorhandenen Filmmaterials daneben geschossen.
In Austria's hills where echoes play, There roams a spirit, bright as day. Not in form of goddess grand, But a spirit, unseen, in the land. Fortune's favor, a gentle breeze, Whispers secrets through the trees. Jason Morris, blessed and true, In her grace, he finds his due. In Vienna's streets, his path unfolds, As Fortune's hand in beauty molds. Opportunities, like rivers flow, To him, she always bestows. In Salzburg's song, his heart finds peace, As Fortune's touch will never cease. Her whispers guide his every way, In her light, he'll always stay. So raise a glass to Jason Morris, In Austria, where fortune pours. For in the spirit of the land, He holds her blessings in his hand.
Also the bombs targeted the Industrial Areas of Vienna more than the center parts, so in the green Prater and the 1st district where never as much bombs droped as in the 23rd or 11th districts...
Each generation thinks there was a golden age in the past, these people probably had theirs in the 1814-15 after the Congress of Vienna, when Austria was at its peak. Btw. most people lived in poverty in 1900s (relatively to today's standard) ... not so golden for them.
@@NerickovaNoha Hahaha, I know this, don't take it so serious. But as always, the facts are between the middle-class fairy tales of the "golden age" and the leftist fairy tales of the social hell. Because the situation in Vienna in these times was like in all big cities around the world. May be in hundred and fifty years the people will tell similar fairy tales about our time. Only one thing will be different and there it was a real golden age in these old times, this was the culture. There came people with extraordinary minds and intellects together and produced culture which are influencing the world till today. These is absolutely not in today's Vienna - in this way, we are now only a better provincial city...
@@konradreinelt5242 Hallo Konrad, danke sehr für Deine Antwort 🙂 Ja, ich habe keine Einwände und ja, stimmt - Wien in der Kaiserzeit war eine der Hauptmetropolen Europas, zusammen mit London, Paris, Berlin etc. Als Provinzstadt würde ich aber eher meine Bratislava bezeichnen 😀 (ich lebe hier, bin aber oft in Wien unterwegs - da ich auch österreichische Kunden habe). Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute und eine schönes erholsames Wochenende !!

90 la sutà din orasul meu a fost construit de dânsii, iar acum statul român îl da uitarii. "VIVAT FRANTz IMPERATOR AUSTRIEI SI AL ROMANILOR" (celor din Ardeal si Banat)
My favorite thing about this is the recording is the band from University of Pennsylvania, because the former state song of Pennsylvania, "Hail, Pennsylvania" uses the same tune as the former imperial anthem of so many of our Russian Orthodox brethren once sang.
