Greatest Dream of the Kaiser and World War History
A historical profile recalls Emperor William II of Germany born 1859, who abdicated in 1918 after a lengthy reign. The piece argues his ego and drive for world dominion pushed Germany toward war, detailing mobilization orders, the Lusitania attack, and the invasion of Belgium, while labeling him the central figure in a crusade against democracy and civilization. It cites secret memoranda and voices from critics linking his leadership to the calamities of the era and the broader Pan-German project.
