Keep in mind that by that time the concentration camps were still unknown and if Wilhelm was disgusted by the racist policies of the Reich then, one can only imagine how devastated and angry he would have been at the fact that millions of Jewish citizens of Germany were physically exterminated.

It was given by von Falkenhayn to the Count of Hoyos, the Austrian Ambassador. The German ambassador to London urged cooperation to resolve the crisis through the negotiation table a day later.

We have to remember this is all because Hitler would not restore the monarchy. Hitler saw the monarchy as the reason that they lost the Great War especially when the Kaiser allowed the Jews to infiltrate German politics and then he flees at the end of the war. He did not like that and did not restore the monarchy although Göring did tru

Wilhelm is a true emperor, showing poise and wisdom and denouncing the atrocious actions of the nazi regime.

Well, Wilhelm II was no saint himself. His egomania made Germany isolated and he prepared for war, even building a fleet that could match with the British fleet. Also because of him WW1 broke out with all the consequences including the emerging of the National Socialist Party. A greater Joffrey Lannister perhaps.

You don’t know much about Kaiser Wilhelm nor about the cause of WW1. It’s more complicated than that.

So much nonsense. Wilhelm was Joffrey? The French were opressing the German people of Alsace Loraine and the Brits were scared of Germany becoming too powerful and wanting their own colonial empire. WWI definitely wasnt Germany’s fault at all. Germany commited some bad actions in the war but the cause of war definitely begins with the French. Treaty of Versailles was also done by the French and they brought Germany to ruin and then radicalization followed leading to WWII.

@@cmd7930 Again, read more carefully! I wrote that also because of Wilhelm the war broke out. He could have prevented it. But in the end, almost all representatives of all affected nations acted too stubbornly and already in confrontative politics. Regarding his behaviour, especially in military, you have to admit that Wilhelm acted like a child building a massive fleet on the backs of his people only to play a dangerous game of "Who is the most powerful monarch?" BTW: Don't mistake Wilhelm II as the wish and will of the German people.

​@@varelionThe massive naval build up made sense, both Britain and Germany were enemies. And once it stopped making sense (when the relation between went back to normality) it stopped. Germany is not at fault for starting World War 1, Wilhelm was dragged into the war by Austria and France. Not saying that Wilhelm was a saint or anything, but he was clearly not a fault for starting the war, it began because of things outside his control.

@@thiago292 Well, signing the declaration of war against Russia was in his control. But he alredy had given in to the agenda of the war party as the Russian Tsar also did. The monarchs had become symbols or just representatives. Still, depicting Wilhelm II as an opposite figure to Hitler and thus glorifying him is only half of the truth. When Hitler defeated France, he congretulated him. He didn't suffer from the war as the people of the Netherlands did.

I love how it pronounces "Wilhem" with a "ee"

When you say "Wilhelm", it sounds like you're swallowing your own tongue while throwing up food you ate a month ago.

इतिहास कितना रोचक है! एक व्यक्ति, जिसने प्रथम विश्व युद्ध शुरू करवाया, दूसरे व्यक्ति, जिसने द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध शुरू करवाया, के विषय में शंका रखता है। सबसे कमाल की बात तो यह है कि दोनों एक दूसरे के समकालीन थे। ज़रा सोचिए, यदि दोनों आमने-सामने आते तो कैसा दृश्य होता!

Compared to Hitler he was Sigmund Freud. He was not a sociopath in that regard. However from all reports he was quite irrational and would often fly into rages of anger, thought he knew more than his Generals, got his country in an unwinnable World War that crippled its economy for decades that caused many German citizens their lives. In the end he lived in exile for the rest of his life. That doesn't sound like a practical human being to me.

That makes no sense, Germany was under military government control during the war, Wilheilm didnt have the ability to interfere with his generals' actions. 3. It wasnt unwinnable. Germany almost won the war, which would have made it the dominant global power. 4. Wilheilm isnt at fault for the situation in Europe at the time, Bismarck is.

Although, he wasn't buried in the Netherlands, he is just in a coffin, but if Germany ever becomes a Monerchy, Wilhelm would be buried there.

Which it never will be.

Wilhelm II was responsible for the expansion of WW1. He declared war on Russia because they mobilised against Austro-Hungary when they started a blatantly aggressive war against Serbia. Wilhelm then also declared war on France and then invaded neutral Belgium. When the UK sent Germany an ultimatum threatening war if they did not withdraw from Belgium, Wilhelm outright ignored it, assuming the UK would not be involved.

One could say, Wilhelm was Fuhrerious with Hitler 😅

No, no, no. Clearly no. Wilhelm II. was a big Fan of Hitler. He wrote many love letters to Hitler and even photographed himself with a Swastika bandage in his house.

They met several times in person and you cut out like the majority of the quote

Ah yes, Kaiser Wielhelm. Wielhelm… Wilhelm, not Wielhelm.

Wilhem ll praise hitler on invading french and become a warm friend to the point that Wilhem wish that hitler to be a emperor Explanations in details are in Mark Felton Productions video

man idk about this Viel Helm guy, hope hes ok

The ex-Kaiser and Hitler mutually resented each other because one thought the other a pleb and vice-versa

W Wilhelm opinion on Hitler

Wilhelm should gave up his German nationality proclaimed he’s British I think his cousin would understand

It's Weird to see Wilhelm with a normal left arm.

He is not buried waiting for burried untill his family become emperor again ..

He‘s a good example of historical people not being one dimensional enough to categorize them simply as Good/Bad in most cases. yes he disliked hitler a lot. But he also started the 1. war in the form it happened with no real need for it. Although the Austrians technically started it with germany as the big ally on day one, it was the german kaiser that convinced the austrian one to do so. Both their parliaments begged them bit to do it since it was clear how much such a war would cost everyone and Bismark‘s work to keep peace in europe was not forgotten by the plolititians yet. But the two rulers wanted glory and had the romantized vision of war as a heros saga in their mind. That compared to great advancements in military technology they thought would make their next war basically unloosable even tho everyone else had the same was what made them jump at the very forst oportunity. It is worth mentioning that europe would have errupted into war at some other point soon as it is. But a lot of things would have been different like all of the soviet revolts likely not happening without lenin not being smuggled back in at the time he was cause Germany wouldn‘t have needed him to stirr civil unrest at this time. Either way he was not a good man himself. And that he disliked an even worse man later in life doesn‘t make him a good man alone

You conveniently left out after France fell, Kaiser Whilhelm sent a congratulatory telegram to Hitler: "Under the deeply moving impression of France's capitulation I congratulate you and all the German armed forces on the God-given prodigious victory with the words of Kaiser Wilhelm the Great of the year 1870: 'What a turn of events through God's dispensation!' All German hearts are filled with the chorale of Leuthen, which the victors of Leuthen, the soldiers of the Great King sang: Now thank we all our God!"

Veelhelm? Mad pronunciation, never heard of it.

Whoa the autocrat didn't like the socialist!? Noone could have guessed.

Well at first he asked him to reinstate him as Kaiser after hitler got elected. Also his family including his first born did not shy away with collaborating. Still he wasn’t the incarnation of evil just a miserable and broken man that tried to do good and meet the expectation of his people but ultimately failed largely because of his cocky and unaware attitude at diplomacy as well through his fragile ego and suicidal tendencies. He wasn’t mentally stable but at least he was kind to Jewish Germans and oddly enough to the Turkish as far as to saying that if he wouldn’t have been born German he could only be and love to be a Turk.

You should pronounce it Will-Helm instead of Wheel-Helm

We are teached to hate Kaiser Wilhelm II. in Germany. So sad!

I often wonder how differently the 20th century would have been if the Kaiser retained his power after the first World War.

Comparing two maniacs and thinking one is better than other

Wilhelm, despite his flaws, was actually a pretty normal, decent person. He was a much a victim of WWI as any other, since he lost all control over his country against his will to the military yet was blamed for all of Germany's wrongdoings in WWI. He didn't even want the war to happen. I'm just glad he got to live the rest of his life in peace and quiet, unlike SOME Russian Tzar I could mention...
