das war sein pech . direkt nach dem krieg um die ecke gebracht worden

Yes, you are correct.

Most definitely not hitler only used the crown prince to get into power and the crown prince wanted to use hitler for the same reason The crown prince like his father hated hitler

The same forces that brought them down are the ones that have been trying to take down western societies for the past hundred plus years up until this very minute

Never worked a day in his life serving in the military and fighting in Verdun, not to mention his political role of the nation, you think the German health care system and pentions just appeard out of nothing and monarchs were just chilling ut all happend there.

Yes Germany lost the war because the German people began to revolt, German soldiers were beginning to abandon their posts on the western front because their families back home couldn’t get bread, they didn’t know what they were fighting for as Germany was on the cusps of revolution and the Kaiser was forced to abdicate to end the war and save the country from plunging into utter chaos!

No. His son, Louis Ferdinand, did, however. He spent time in Detroit, among other places, and became a friend of Henry Ford. Louis Ferdinand was interested in engineering. He also met Roosevelt. He distanced himself from the Nazis, and after the war, enjoyed a good reputation. There were many who wanted him to run for Bundespraesident. He declined, though, because he did not want to renounce his claim to a German throne.

@@theBaron0530 he was also in the german resistance against hitler and was involved in operation valkyrie

@@palastofhistory4026 What evidence do you have to support the statement that Wilhelm was in the resistance and was involved in Valkyrie? I have never even heard such a statement before.

​@@theBaron0530 (Sorry for the late response) not crown prince wilhelm iam talking about his son Louis Ferdinand of prussia

@@palastofhistory4026Thanks for clarifying!

Why?

The Crown Prince was delusional that Hitler would restore the monarchy! Hitler did not mind aristocrats but he saw no purpose in restoring the monarchy when he was already the absolute leader of the German republic!

You said it man!

@@Ahmes_x Read that complete and utter drivel through to the millions of dead from the trenches of Northern France, the Atlantic, the Alps, the Middle East, and everywhere else. Germany chose to invade Belgium, France, Russia, chose to send - once - its navy against Britain; Belgium, France and Russia did not attack Germany, the British navy did not attack the German navy - the aggression was entirely one-way. The mis/dis-information in your comment serves no good to anyone - read a history book, then try to understand it.

It's tragic what they one treaty caused

They punished Germany far harder after 1945, with much more reparations actually paid by Germany up until 2010, and look at the result: 40 years of peace in Europe!

Great grandson of Queen Victoria.

Actually the Kaiser was first cousin to Tsar Nicholas’s wife, the former princess Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt whose mother, princess Alice was the younger sister of the Kaiser’s mother, Princess Victoria- Louise of Great Britain. The Kaiser and Nicholas II weren’t actually “blood cousins.” King George V on the other hand was first cousin with the Kaiser as his father & the Kaiser’s mother were siblings. His mother, Queen Alexandra’s was the elder sister of the dowager Empress Maria of Russia, Nicholas II’s mother.

Most Royals spoke multiple languages, English being one of them. Despite or people might think, even 100 years ago, there were plenty of Germans that spoke English. As of 2023, I can guarantee every ethnic German living in Germany speaks English and most speak a lot better than most Americans.

It never ended hohenzollerns are stil there he was the crown prince BTW Not the emperor

@@palastofhistory4026 Wake up to reality man, the Hohenzollern dynasty and the nobility don't even exist officially anymore in Germany.

Wich is true Treaty of versailles basically caused ww2 to happen

It really did screw them over and was the cause of civil unrest, depreciation of their currency, and mass unemployment. Their industrial centers were occupied and cannibalized by France. It made them so bitter enough to accept a radical like Hitler and the Nazi’s.

in USA you would blame the unemployed for unemployment

It seems he had never heard of the Great Depression...

Waren ja auch verwandt.Sein Vater war ein ENKEL von Queen Victoria !

Lol. It’s a fact Germany would have won if America didn’t send Britain and France supplies. The same with WWII, but add Russia to the list.

Warum?

Selbstverständlich sollte man lieber nicht an die Zukunft seines eigenen Landes glauben. Depression ist ja viel cooler.

Well, yes, but language isn't passed on with the genes. He learned English, as his father did, who also spoke it as well as a native speaker. Many people are unaware of the ties between the Hohenzollerns and the English, going all the way back to the 18th century. There was a lot of intermarriage between the Hohenzollerns and the Hannoverians. Before Germany was united, those ties formed a foundation for German and British friendship, and even alliance in common causes.

Rather, on chemical photography.

His father Wilhelm II was the head of state during WW1. He was the heir to the Imperial throne, and would have been Wilhelm III, but the monarchy was abolished before he could ascend to the throne.

The first one isn't true. The second one, depends on interpretation but given he had Empire envy and was desperate for Germany to expand you could argue yes it was. As for the last one, Germany may not have started it but they contributed the most to it so its reasonable that they pay for most of the damage.

Honestly i think Germany did ignite the powder keg that was 1914 Europe. However, its not like the whole situation was entirely Germanys fault. Its pretty likely that if Germany didnt support Austria-Hungary, the war wouldnt break out for some months or even years, but i dont think it changes a lot in the grand scheme of things. Wilhelm II was an idiot though. I dont think he was a mad man, and i also think people generally overestimate how much real power he had in 1914. He did try to prevent the war in some ways, so its pretty safe to assume he wasnt a warmongering mad man, but his efforts were quite poor to say the least. The treaty of Versailles wasnt justified. But thats a lot of hindsight and one can easily understand how especially the French felt after WW1. Im glad the allies learnt and did most stuff right post 1945 with regards to Germany.

@@vanessaxoax7646 I see your point, but don’t forget Russia was a key escalator, they chose to go to war in support of Serbian state terrorism, if you want to point the finger at Germany for issuing a ‘blank cheque’ you must also call out Russia’s unconditional support for the Serbs.
