That was probably Crown Prince Wilhelm, Wilhelm II's son. The Crown Prince was exiled on Wieringen for some time. The Kaiser never lived there.

He was known as the Woodchopper of Doorn, basically deforesting the entire estate. He must've been really bored, lol. He did plant saplings and the estate was eventually reforested.

Germany had conquered not a little country, but France - a pretty good one as big as Germany. It was a real nice work.

@Vandole yeah, he gave them that blank cheque on the understanding that Austria-Hungary would act fast, with the sympathy and support of Europe behind them. Of course, the Austro-Hungarians dithered and delayed for months and then horribly bungled their response, dragging the whole world i to war behind them

@@jessesinclair3861 no, I'm pretty sure Germany started the second one with the invasion of Poland; that was what kicked it into a global conflict.

@@jessesinclair3861 The Brits and French wanted war? Didn't both of them just let Germany annexing territories? They annexed Austria, illegal but i don't care. They annexed Czechoslovakia and Slovakia becomes a puppet state, we'll allow it as long as you are not violent. They want to annex parts of Poland and Poland says no, Britain says to respect it and guarantees Poland from Germany. Hitler declared war, Brits and France declared way because they had enough. That's how it worked. The Brits and French were not warmongers it was actually the Nazis who are aggressively annexing territories. The Nazis were the warmongers. The allies didn't care about the Soviet Union because they only guaranteed Poland on German aggression and not the Soviets. To be fair, the Soviets weren't annexing territories prior to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. The Brits guaranteed Poland waaay before the Nazis and the Soviets even thought of becoming friends. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was only accomplished just days before the invasion of Poland so Britain really didn't have the time to negotiate with the Soviets. So in short, Britain and France didn't declare war on Germany for the sake of pride. The US didn't want war with Germany, the Germans DECLARED war on the US. The US was preparing for war with the Japanese not the Germans. Read your history.

​@@jessesinclair3861 Oh yes they did. They even threatened them with war. The Anschluss was okay but Czechoslovakia and Lithuania were threatened with invasion. How was Czechia part of Germany? The reason Germany wanted to annex territories is because of their ideology. It was said that all Germans should be unified in one country. They annexed Sudetenland because they were full of Germans, fine. But then they annexed the whole Czechia and puppeted Slovakia, that doesn't make any sense considering they are full of slavs, and you know the Nazis don't like slavs. Also the fact that Slovakia was never under Imperial Rule from the Holy Roman Empire. Lithuania went throught the same thing and was forced to return Memel. That's called Aggressive Expansion, and many countries don't like that. The US supplied them with weapons because they are allies. The US has been supplying weapons to their allies for decades. Does that mean when the Isrealis had a war with the Arabs, the US also went to war? Russia supplies Syria against rebels which are then supplied by the US, are the two countries at war? It's called proxy warfare and it's not an act of war under any law. An act of war is when two countries are at war directly or formally declared war under a casus belli. Also, Britain has many commercial rivals at the time, the US, China, Japan (threatening the British naval hegemony), and France. Like i said, the US supplies the Brits because they are allies but nothing more. The US is only keen on the Japanese because they have territories there and the Philippines. Germany to the US was no threat and they know it. The US can just focus on the Japanese and the allies still would've won. You don't declare war on countries that have more men, money and resources than you. Yes Germany did nothing wrong in WW1, get over it.

I heard the Ottoman almost declared war on itself. Is it true?

Plus the Dutch monarchy had close ties to the German one

@@wingslider Every European monarchy had close ties to every other European monarchy. Wilhelm was the first cousin of the King of England (George V) and of Alexandra (wife of the Emperor Nicholas II of Russia) ... and was a third cousin of Nicholas himself. The King of Romania (an Allied nation and an enemy to Germany and Austria) was a Hohenzollern (the same dynasty that ruled Germany), albeit from a Catholic branch of the family.

Lol really ?

@@thetrist333 yes you can even see his coffin through the window.

@@gorkbushk8193 lol well i guess he's going to stay there for a moment since monariches aren't as popular as before lmao

@@thetrist333 The thing is that in germany there is some kinda of law which forbids to change certain laws. And a law you cannot change is the law regarding the Stateform. So there wont be a monarchie ever again in germany under legal ways. To bring back the monarchy you would have to start a coup d'État.

Looking how things are going right now, soon there won't be any Germany left to return

He actually congratulated Hitler for his conquest of western Europe

and the final disappoinment in 1933-34 when it was clear Hitler was not going to restore the monarchy

"killed off 10%..."? ALL of Europe was chomping at the bit to enlist in 1914. Few were sent against their will.

Don't see how Kaiser Wilhelm is responsible for a Serbian shooting the Arch Duke and then the Serbian government denying the Austro-Hungarians their right to an investigation. The only thing you can blame him for was declaring war on Belgium.

@@makarin741 Giving Austria an unconditional blank check to cash in military assistance, knowing full well that Russia would attack them to defend Serbia, also not the best of diplomatic moves.

@@Gstrangeman96 I believe the Kaiser actually did attempt to prevent the war, you should watch extra history's series on it. Seminal tragedy I think it's called.

Wilhelm the second might be a bad leader and he made some bad political decisions. But he was a man of Honor and glory with respect for others and respect for his Own people. He was Germany and Germany was him. The Kaiser shall remain.

Yeah but mistake me if i'm incorrect but wasn't this quote in response to kristalnacht and then after the nazis started invading and controlling most of Europe he started congratulating them and saying that they were proper germans

It's interesting to see criticism of fascism from a monarchist perspective.

@TeutonenKrieger09 Yeah I vaguely remember hearing that Wilhelm sent a letter to Hitler congratulating him for defeating France with his (Wilhelm's) armies. I'm not sure if this is apocryphal but wasn't Hitler have said to have called him an idiot when he read the letter?

jabber1990 Austria willing joined Germany

@@Toten1316 Well technically he did "invade" Austria, since German troops crossed the border(12 march) before Austria had really/formally agreed to the Anschluss(13-15 march). However it was a peaceful invasion with many Austrians throwing flowers to the German soldiers, this is perhaps why it's not really remembered as an invasion.

Hitler invaded the Netherlands before France so he had to change his tune

Nick A. Unified with*

You can find monarchists nearly everywhere to be honest, but there numbers are usually limited, with smaller ones being in the thousands and the large ones numbering in tens of thousands tops. There is one exception to this however, and that is in Russia where their monarchist party has over a million members (Still less than 1% of Russia's population, but quite large compared to other countries).

As if a monarchist and a national socialist are one and the same..

@@conveyor2 In the eyes of communists, they are both in the category of "subhuman".

Even in exile the guy still lived in a giant mansion with its own grounds and everything. Probably safe to say he didn't go out to the shops himself. If you want to read about a "riches to rags" story go look up the last Qing emperor of China, Puyi. He became an actual street sweeper after WW2.

@@Gstrangeman96 I know, he didn't become a normal person from one day to another but it's still something I want to imagine possible. Don't prove me wrong lol. And I know some of Puyi's life, and is absolutely facinating, although je was 6 when he was at the height of his power, unlike the former kaiser who was solo carrying his entire faction in a world war.

Losing the war probably humbled the hell out of him, and made him self reflect on why everyone hates him

​​@@pokemaster123ismTo family (not his extended, he was hated on his extended but wife and children) he was known to be a pretty decent guy without the flair of his public persona. Maybe he decided to show a little bit of that side when he was exiled

Hmm..... Seems interesting.........

wasnt that actually considered? (not after WWII, but during the formation of the Weimar Republic) I think his son wasnt much better than him so they dropped that idea, though his grandson went on to become a historian with a focus on the role of former royals during the rise of the Nazis.

@@jonas1015119 not likely, he had the shadows of the Great War on him, perhaps his nephew

Just a question, why though? What strategic reason would the allies have to put a Kaiser in West Germany, what would that accomplish? The only thing you would get from it is even more unrest as the germans themselves didn't want a Kaiser. Therefore the Allies would need to enforce his rule with force which would once again make the Germans extremely upset which would make them support radical ideologies, this time the communists, which is completely the opposite of what the allies wanted.

22fordfx4 haha would be amazing. I would play jokes on him all the time.

David Lloyd-George remained a figure in British politics until his death in early 1945, including being prime minister from 1918-22. Importantly, his speech during the Parliamentary "Norway Debate" in 1940 helped ensure Winston Churchill became Prime Minister

By 1916 the german high command insisted on invading the netherlands as well to control all the coast from Ostend to Cuxhaven but the Kaiser said no way. Wilhelmina returned him the favour, an act still very controversial in Belgium.
