Kaiser William II A Portrait Of The German Emperor
The article provides a comprehensive portrait of Kaiser William II born 1859, who became emperor in 1888 after his father’s death. It covers his early education under Bismarck, clashes with the chancellor, and his mastery of army and navy matters. It notes his strides in German commerce, arts, and science, his active daily routine, friendliness to America before the war, and his passion for hunting, yachts, and music. Married in 1881 to Augusta Victoria, they had six sons and one daughter, with the royal family largely shielding heirs from danger during wartime. His lateral indignation toward the United States arose after munitions shipments continued to the Entente.
