Kaiser Wilhelm II. X After Dark 

True

The Austrian painter

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.

He fought for the reputation as world power of his and our fraternal empire austria, he did it for the people. Not like our todays Chancellors.

so true even my mom made a mistake. me

The Ottomans called him "Haji Wilhelm Effendi" because he visited Jerusalem.

Respect to Iran from Turkey.

That's weirdly sad and somehow funny at the same time

I thought the Russians an British only occupied Iran in WW2

@@algerianmonarchist8017 how so? you mean the nickname ?

@TheRichie ALL the powers of that time were EXTREMELY nationalistic and out for loot. All of them. This is emphasized by world-renowned historians. No one was better than the other.

@TheRichie nationalism itself like under the kaiser wasnt bad. But the extremist national socialist things are bad and thats what everyone associates with nationalism

It must of hurt him to basically be replaced by democracy and then shortly after by an angry racist Austrian he could not stand

Timestamp? I don’t know anything about him. Is the part where he watches his empire collapse 0:32? Seems like it.

And to think the Empire ended with the Navy revolting.

@@sirsteam6455 Tbf the Freikorps put down the cringe Red menace in 1919, so the Kaiser was right and vindicated that the Army was to be trusted :)

The army that welded it also dragged him into a war he was trying to stop before it started with his Cousin... Faith can be put in the right and wrong places.

That was an enormous mistake.

@@mikeljames7402 ​ The army had no choice but to listen to orders, it’s not the fault of the men who follow orders, it’s the fault of the man who causes them, the Serbs caused the war, the Germans were only supporting an ally to preserve the German Sphere, Serbian aggression caused this, not the army not the Germans, it was the Serbians, it’s people who don’t understand the truth of the Great War that cause our problems with western propaganda faking numbers and historical facts. The French and the British lie, the serbs lie, the only truth is in the Fatherland and the awoken peoples who know truth, the people who know facts over false information. Edit: I do believe that we are lied to by our governments and that truths we are told are made up, some know enlightenment like Andrew Tate, he knows of the government control, though the old ways are dying, the new peoples who don’t care about facts or religion or life in general, these Anarchists are wanting control along side the Far Left Anarchic Communists.

Wait a minute, that phrase sound familiar from someone speech and i think we both know who he was, world would be a better place under his rule

@@rangar6853 I have no idea who you're talking about.

@@Valentin_126 Painter, war veteran, animal friend, pest killer, uniter of the nation,liquidator of the economic crisis charismatic leader, etc. And these words ""Germany one day return to being a country of tradition, loyalty, and honor."" were in his speech

@@Valentin_126 Ok i find it "We will resurrect Germany to the honor of strength, power and splendor" I don't have any idea how to find this video, i have it dowloaded, if you want it just tell

Wilhelm was the last man who tried to stop WW1 till the very end. It was back and fourth with Russia and Britain He is blamed for his foreing policy, that's point was to try make the relations better with everyone, he they even payed respect for the fallen french soldiers in the Frano-Prussian war. 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.

How did he outsmart hitler. He was not allowed back in Germany and the monarchy was never restored.

@@beachaddict7653 By outsmarting, i belive he meant Wilhelms insults towards Hitler: Quotes, interview, and his letter wich praphrasing "congrats pal, you won France with my troops". Germany was also in a strong cultural and technological breaktrough during Wilhelm II's reing, while Hitler continued with the reforms Weimar already did to save the economy, and took all the glory for himself.

@@beachaddict7653 my good man, hitlers intention was to make his majesty’s funeral grand and go all around Germany. But the kaiser saw that coming and wrote in his will that he wants to be buried where he died, and never return to Germany until the monarchy is restored. He also wanted his funeral to have no affiliation with the Nazis but Hitler didn’t respect that wish and filled his funeral with swastikas and shit

@thegreatmagician2480 I'm aware of that. If I was the Kaiser and i was trying to get back into Germany, I would not write a note that says, "Congratulations and winning the battle with MY troops"... My goal would be to try to get hitler to think I'm a helpless old man who has no interest in getting power back. So no, he didn't "outsmart" hilter.

Gut dass er dieses Elend welches das heutige Deutschland darstellt nicht erleben muss

True

Kinda like Napoleon

Yes, because he was blamed for everything. He became ever more exhausted and defeated once Hitler came into power.

The Japanese emperor also lived a kinda miserable life after WW2 for the same Wilhelm did

There is a Chinese idiom that goes “If things are united for too long they will disperse and if things are dispersed for too long they will unite” which is based on Chinese history but is also applicable to Europe, especially Germany

It was a very fast developping country,nr 1 in economics,science, but very old fashioned government,very influential war loving generals,von Moltke!That meant the end of the kaiser period.

@@pieterzwaan4451 All wrong. The German Empire was one of the most liberal states of its time and anything but war-loving. That the German Empire was to blame for the first world war is a myth. For 100 years, historians have known that the war guilt lie was allied dirt that ultimately led to the second world war. The fact is that the UK fought the most wars by far and the list of British crimes is virtually endless. I would ask you to look more closely at history. There are current books on these topics by world-renowned historians. Above all, history is not black and white and history is not a political issue but a science.

I can asure you ist was not a liberal paradies, his father rejected the crown, of the "plebs" and so was the mindset of His son.

The country was ruined so Wilhelm should have criticised himself first for being a failure.

​@@Aegor-Rivers In my opinion Kaiser Wilhelms biggest mistake was trying to provoke and underminr the British Empire. Brittain actually supported Germany until the Kaiser started building his navy and flexing his Prussian Army. Despite this when he lost his war he surrendered for the sake of his country. When Hitler was loosing his war he decided that Germany will be a ruin that the people brought upon themselves

@@planderlinde1969 Britain and others also supported Hitler until the Poland situation. The German people was punished for merely being German by the so-called good guys. Then they turned on the Russians. France turned on Britain by not letting them in the EU and then not letting them vote on whether to leave. We only joined our economy collapsed s we helped the rest of Europe. Hitler sent us peace terms but unfortunately we helped countries that turned on us. Here we are again helping Ukraine. None of the allies would help us.

@@Aegor-Rivers No no, cool it, Germany violated Belgian neutrality, Britain betrayed the entente up until then, perhaps there would never be trench warfare, all the deaths, the humiliation of Germany and monarchy, if they never attacked Belgium and held the Rhine and dealt with Russia.

Гитлер 1 мировой войны. Гребанные немцы никак не успокоятся

Russenschweine 🇷🇺🐷🇷🇺

Das Deutsche Reich, sein Volk und Kaiser Wilhelm II waren ehrliche, anständige und aufrichtige Menschen, die zu Ihrem Wort standen! Schäbige, falsche, faule und feindliche Neider aus dem Ausland (Inselaffen und die Indianervernichter) konnten den Erfolg und Fortschritt, den das Reich aus sich geschaffen hat, nicht ertragen und haben das Reich 2x mit List und Hinterhalt in Kriege gestürzt, um es zu zerstören und klein zu machen! Das was heute läuft, hat erneut das selbe Ziel und es wird wieder so weit kommen. Mit dem Unterschied, zu den vorherigen beiden Malen, wird das Land, von den der Neidern installieren Verrätern 'geführt', somit wird es für diese Hunde noch leichter sein, ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Schade um das Deutsche Volk und um das Land, aber allzu viele sind wir ja leider schon ohnehin nicht mehr.

Honestly, The First World War was a very gray war, its complexity makes it hard to define the good guys and bad guys

@@winddings351 I agree. It was mostly the High Command of both countries. After the first months, the soliders didn't want to fight anymore but those who didn't fight didn't care.

@@winddings351 Sorry for the Book but what you said was Great. True and lets look at the most simple cut and dry that the vast majority of drones only know being the Assassin of the Duke. This is Your countries heir and predicted to be a great reformer and killed by a group that may or may have not been linked to the Serbian Government with lot's of evidence supporting they were linked to the Government of course you will retaliate Im glad more people are seeing wars as 2 sides or more complicated than Bad guys vs Good Guys and as an American I can tell you it is very American to think of shit this way and I hate how people can not think a little for themselves. Also The most Recent war for example to show how people are 1 dimensional thinking Ukrainian-Russo war People think it is good vs bad but forget more likely just flat out do not know because of lack of thinking and studying about the Russification of Ukraine during the 1900's there is millions of Russians Living there that want to go back to Russia the biggest areas being Luhansk and Crimea so its not like OMG why would they do that THEY HAVE NO REASON!!!! I think the most disgusting thing of all is when people are supporting Ukraine because the Media tells them too not because they Truly want to support Ukraine but because they think they are the good guys instead of looking at the situation from both sides and saying well yes what Russia is doing make sense but after weighing both options I will support Ukraine because the reason Russia gave is not good enough for me to say it is Justified instead of media says Russia bad Ukraine good.

They were like the French or possibly Spanish : they just wanted to rule over the natives and try to modernize them. Meanwhile the British empire wanted to rule on the native land without any natives present so they murdered most red Indians in the 1600s, leading to very few natives today

Putting my own beliefs onto another for nothing is redundant, but I think we can all agree that there were no CLEAR good or bad guys in WW1, they did what they had to do in their eyes. Humanity is often cruel against its own for either a good reason, or no real reason at all, and WW1 is a wonderful example.

you do realise that Kaiser WIlhelm ABDICATED OTTO VON BISMARCK. He is the reason why germany fell. why dont you know this?

@@rafaellehmann6160 yes I know that. But everyone can do errors. The decision to abdicate BISMARK was surely a mistake but I can't blame my KAISER, he was young in this time and he didn't like the autoritarian mind of BISMARK. I like these two mens. So much to blame one.

@@takticien8397 Bismarck wollte keine Kolonien und sah Deutschland als "saturiert". Also keine Gebietserweiterungen mehr. Seine Außenpolitik konzentrierte sich auf das isolieren Frankreichs, das Rache sah. Logisch oder? Seine Bündnisse mit allen anderen Imperien garantierten Deutschland den Frieden. BISMARCK wurde von den Briten als "ehrlicher Makler" betitelt. Kaiser Wilhelm hat alle Bündnisse GEBrOCHEN , "Politik der Freien Hand", also sodass die deutsche Politik UNBERECHENBAR wurde. einen Rüstungswettlauf mit den Briten gestartet und den Franzosen erlaubt den Rest gegen uns aufzuhetzen. Nein, der Kaiser hat unser Land den Untergang geweiht.

@@takticien8397 Everyone seems to forget that Bismarck was well into his 80s when Wilhelm II fired him. Bismarck was also trying to run the German government in a very authoritarian way which was a very aged way of thinking, and the Kaiser knew that. That's why he fired him. Kaiser Wilhelm II was actually a very moral person and progressive and wanted Germany to grow both culturally and economically.

Aber es gibt keiner Deutsches Reich

So schaut’s aus 👍🏻❤️❤️🌲🇩🇪🥇

Warum soll man einen Idiot als Kaiser einsetzen ? Das ist doch dumm

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.

@@therealrtx5645 True, but no clear cut good and evil in _WW1,_ that was their point. One of the reasons why I find it more interesting than WW2.

In ww1 neither side was good or bad, Serbia started the war against Austria, Germany supported Austria and attacked its ally Russia which then started a war with France. Everyone in that war was supporting a ally, so nobody was really bad

If only we knew what horrible things would be done to our beautiful nations, we wouldn’t have fought at all

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.

He's dead, man.
