“History is written by the victors”
Winston Churchill
No it's written by historians lmao
@subscribe to my empty channel or The allies wrote history after winning ww2? I dont think so. There is evidence and proof of what happened and first hand experiences which we can use to determine history.
that doesn't mean it is wrong, just that we get the time to write the 'initial' history that you can then try to debunk [like Ludendorff & Hitler did and twisted the military deffeats and failures of 1918 into the 'stab in the back' ] for their needs later.
@@pixel6698 It's a half truth. While there is much evidence for history, the way it's presented is done by those who win. If the Central Powers won WW1, we would be learning about them as the "good guys" and the Allies as the "bad guys". The war still happened, but the views on it would be different. It's in the word itself. History can be said as His Story.
@@ShaunTheCHB A more accurate statement would be "History is taught by the victors"
Rest in peace my Kaiser.

A victim of history :(
Thank You I am Scottish and love our brothers in Germany. Sadly people paint him out as evil he wasn't he tried to stop the war he hated Hitler and the Nazis and he was a very family oriented man. He was one for the more forward thinking royals and if he hadn't abdicated the Nazis would have never came to power
The word is ORIENTATED, please stop butchering our language!
He was allied with Austro-Hungary, yet even he really didn't think Crown Prinz Joseph would attack Serbia.
You are 100% Correct and I applaud you for saying it publicly!!
Dr. G.
So true your words. Wilhelm is better reflected abroad than in his own fatherland. Sad, but we from Ewiger Bund / Vaterländischer Hilfsdienst work to get back monarchy and restore the brutally deformed image of Hohenzollern monarchy
@@johnlunnun9769 why do you say “stop butchering our language” it’s his language too. I’m guessing you’re from England and I am shaming you for disrespecting one part of the UK underneath any other. Britain without Scotland and Scotland without Britain are nothing! You should be ashamed of yourself and think before you speak and if you don’t have anything nice to say shut the hell up!
My grandfather’s brothers served in the Kaiser’s army in WW1. My grandfather has emigrated to America before the war. Later, when Hitler came to power they were all disgusted. They all considered the Kaiser a great, beloved man and Hitler to be a street bum. They would have fought on to hell itself for Wilhelm but not one step for the upstart.
That’s nice
@grenzer45, as disgusted as they might have been when Hitler came to power, they actually admitted that they privately considered and looked up to the NSDAP ideas and program and actually envied their accomplishments. Wilhelm II was entirely enthused when Hitler defeated France according to plan and sent him a letter congratulating him. A lot of the hatred that the Royalty had for the Third Reich Officials must be looked at for what it is. If you grew up in Royalty and especially to be a figure like the "Kaiser", you were raised to believe you were the closest thing to the Divine, and that nothing and no-one else can ever compare. The Kaiser, just like Bismarck and even Frederick the Great, are Men who are largely a product of their era. It would only be natural that they would hold disdain for anyone not of the Junker Class or lineage in general, especially if they happen to surpass their own achievements.
My grandfather is part of the waffen ss 3rd panzer division.He told me that during his servings,He always spare innocent lives in both france and poland.(Eastern and Western front).He said that No all people in the ss or wehrmacht are bad people.Some people are good just they are dead during the sad war...The ones that are bad are used to portrait the entire army or division.This is the saddest part...Kaiser wilhelm is a good ruler and king.I respect him a lot as A German Myself.I love Him as Our Glory and Respectful ruler.These days politicians are just...Awful....Leftist saying that they are good and trustable while people protesting and making the goverment look very very weak.People can just protest in a street to Ficking Destroy the entire politcal system of the country.I am a hardcore monarchist so i wish we can have our kaiser back in position and rule our vaterland.

"The Germans will curse the flag with the swastika and one day they will burn it."
You go, man. You go. If he was still in Germany in 1933, he would've never let the bloody fascist tyrant take charge.
Now, I actually like the German Empire. Rest in peace Wilhem, and farewell and glory to the German Empire. God bless.
You realise Wilhelm II praised Hitler before his death right? Its very unlikely he d have done anything and even if he wanted to he lost the public support
@The Phantom of George Wallace Yeah but Wilhelm didn't
@The Phantom of George Wallace Your argument does not make any sense, restoring the monarchy would have meant for wilhelm to be in power and not hitler, there was never a "neutral" for him when it came to the nazis, in the beginning though he, like ANYONE else did not know what was about to unfold in Germany. You are completely fooled by war propaganda if you think anyone would have been able to see what is happening in 1930-36, enjoy your day. Then again, no English Speaking person will ever know what really went down in Germany, so what do you expect.
@The Phantom of George Wallace Yeah there we go, takes an American to tell you about your own history. I will say it again, you can study your books, you will still never know what it meant to live in 1900 Germany, let alone the rest of europe. We had the Peace Emperor, while the rest was playing war. When Hitler came around, the Germans already forgot about Wilhelm, there was no relevance to it. But WW2. Propaganda made it sound like he was part of the nazis, was a warmongerer before they existed etc. There is no point in trying to argue with someone that is part of rewriting history anyways.
@The Phantom of George Wallace PS: Noone knew what would unfold. It is pure ignorance and in that way dangerous propaganda to think that anyone let alone exiled Wilhelm would have known that there will be another ww, holocaust, mass persecution of opposition etc. Noone did until it happened. (except the actual nsdap conspirators who you should probably learn more about). This is exactly the kind of perception that led to marking Kaiser Wilhelm as a Nazi Conspirator and leads to his Image being torn TIL this day even here in Germany, it destroyed any sense for actual History, not the made believe. The sheer lack of understanding and consideration of Propaganda (WW1 and present) is the crux of the problem here.
The Kaiser was a great man! Wish we still would have a monarchy, here in Germany. Thanks Entente/Allies. . .
Kaiser was a good man but couldn't control his generals. Why would anyone want monarchy where kings can't control generals? that lead to WWs. Monarchy is inefficient because the son of the king becomes king but this Son usually is very incompetent.
@@anaghashyam9845 I think, back then, the best way to avoid an incompetent son as successor, was to have many sons and hope that maybe one of them would be competent as a successor XD
Itw as his own undoing. LISTEN TO BISMARCK!
Same brother - I may not be of direct german blood, but I can sympathy with your monarchist ideals.
He cared only for glory, and nothing for his subjects.
What this video promotes is the truth. My Maternal Grandfather, an Italian & U. S. Citizen, with Dual Citizenship, was a U.S. Lt. Col. in WWI & WWII. Pop was the Nephew of Pope Pivs XII. Two of his brothers were in the German army in WWI. He met them on the battlefield. They shook hands, said hello and turned around to go back to their respective commands. He stated on multiples occasions that it wasn't the German people who wanted H.I.M. Kaiser Wihelm II to abdicate, but his hierarchy with the push of Great Britain & Woodrow Wilson of the United States. He wasn't the Monster painted by the Allies, but was caught up in a War that was a mistake. He wanted the war to end as soon as Austria got what it wanted in Serbia, but H.M. Franz Josef I of Austria-Hungary got greedy. Sir Winston Churchill was right. Had he stayed with diminished capacities as Kaiser, Adolf Hitler may never have come to power in Germany. He doesn't deserve the reputation he has had and re-evaluating him is definitely what historians need to do at this point in history.
Thanks,
Dr. G.
Woodrow Wilson was possibility the worst US president and it was his actions that set the stage for WW2

The Kaiser is was the last light of hope in the Europe before the modern Babilonia... he is the last trace of our secoular history... we must remember Him like a man, a great man
As a politican, the Kaiser wasnt great, he made big mistakes. He quickly fired Bismarck and he refused prolongation of the treaty with Russia in 1890. This lead to the fateful franco-russian alliance. He overestimated the power of European monarchs to prevent the war of 1914.
During the war he allowed the military to take over political affairs.
In 1918 he did not try to remain at least King of Prussia and fled to the Netherlands.
But internally he made peace with the marxist social democrats. Under his rule, administration of Prussia and Germany was excellent because it helped to modernize Germany in education and technics.
But this lead to fears of the other powers that Germany was too powerful and had to be reduced harshly...
@@rudolfkraffzick642 the last bit is wrong he wanted to remain the title of king but it was tied costitutional with the title of kaiser

His generals made him a figuer head and when they lost they placed the blame on him. He should of never allowed himself to merely be a figuerhead.
But he couldnt be anything more than that. He lacked ability to be able statesman.
I admit that sadly was true
Aren't historians in agreement that the Kaiser was a terrible tactician/really bad at waging war?
That was kinda the drawback of being autocrat, like Nicolas II, when everything failed, people and the high command always blamed it's their fault ( i think german had a semi- parliament system back then but he definitely got most of the blame)
@@mr.s.7081 And the generals who took over were good at it? They didn't listen to their politicians, either. Germany lost, enabling Hitler to take control. It doesn't get any worse than that.
I think that, although he wasn't exactly loving Jews before WW1, he was never majorly anti Semitic. He cursed the Nazis I believe for turning a great nation against itself
As was every conservative europeans back then. But no one will ever think of genociding them.

Its to late. The Zionist have already won. If you believe it or not, but sovereignity cant be restored. Its over. Sadly. Even if we just imagine that suddenly the monarchist would get support and the German Empire would be restored, it wouldnt make a difference. As i said, the World is already controlled by the Zionists (and yes im saying zionists, because i think the ordinary jewish people are just as much as a tool for them as everyone else is). Blackrock and the Bilderbergers controll the world. I bet most of you never even heard of the Company Blackrock, wich is owned by Larry Fink.
The problem with restoring monarchies after so long is who ends up becoming the monarch? With an ongoing monarchy the crown keeps getting passed on but not so much when its been gone over 100 years. How would one decide whod be the next Kaiser of Germany? I guess the best thing to do would be look at all of Wilhelms living relatives and decide from there?
I know it would be a constitutional monarchy but still.
One of best leaders the only bad thing he done was that he fired Otto Von Bismarck the best Chancellor in all world
True, he deserved a much better world.
@@undergroundman5153 I'm trying to appreciate kaiser willy here, and your'e just going full out Nazi.
@@raulh1711 I agree
@Germany is Kawaii, I agree, he should not have pushed Otto von Bismarck out of office. The only thing though is I do believe war would be inevitable sooner or later into the 20th century, at the very least with France and England and maybe Russia eventually. France and England did not want to relinquish their monopoly over enslaving Europe. The fight that the Germans struggled for in WW1 and WW2 was aimed at freeing Europe from British Imperialism and giving a new era of Peace, Stability and Glorification of Europe. It would've put an end to the common European tribal conflicts of centuries.
He was not the worst leader but he was definitely not a good one. In what way was he one of the best??? Breaking the long built alliance between Russia Britain and Prussia in favour of competing against Britains navy and empire.
It‘s a shame what happend, but someday the Monarchy will return and im looking forward to this day.
Gott erhalte den Kaiser!
actually its stated in the german law that the monarchy can never come back, so good luck.
@@malfunctioning7084 but the law isnt unchangeable
@@unrealtinec2398 exactly
Actually, it can come back. Remember, the Prussian ruling titles were a forced abdication by the allies after the war. Mainly pushed by King George IV (4). Gotta love the family love between the British and Germans. A lot of Prussians and Germans believe that the treaty was unfair and cost Germany land loss of the old Prussian Territories. Thus the reason why Hitler attacked Poland and the lower parts of Russia during WWII. Trying to get the old Prussian land back by force. Not agreeing with Hitler at all, but people need to understand that the forced abdication of Prussia is what caused a multitude of issues to include the rise of Hitler. Kaiser Wilhelm II was allowed to keep the German Constitutional Monarchy titles, but he decided to screw the entire family over and turn those over as well. However, the Prussian house can still come into power, but will not without the public support. A force abdication can be reversed under special circumstances.
Lang lebe der Kaiser! Erst nachdem das Kaiserreich weg ist, sind sehr schlimme Dinge passiert! Frag mich bis heute wieso wir die alleinige Kriegsschuld beim ersten Weltkrieg haben. Übern zweiten müssen wir nicht sprechen, da ist alles glasklar
The german kaiser and the Austrian Kaiser Are Very good Chums that means They have each other's back Going far as starting a war to protect each other
I certainly believe he would comeback to the Eastern front to stop the bolsheviks and find a new friend;) while doing so
@Tsar Nicholas II For me you are Cousin!
Except it was the Allies, the Brits most of all, who started the war.
I did nothing in ww1 chum
WTF ? Serbia started the war by killing the heir to the Austrian throne. You blame the Kaisers ? Get a fucking historybook. And why not blame Russia who mobilized against Germany. Instead of the Balkans . Werent they supposed to help their allies the serbs ? The war against (and looting of) Germany was planned all along. In fact British inteligence was behind the organisation (the black hand) that had the Austrian heir killed. Serbian inteligence also were part of training the assassins. All was done to wipe Germany of the Commercial map. The Brits wanted Germany gone ever since the Creation of Germany in 1871. The propaganda war against Germany was started right after the Congo treaty in 1885.
I am French and i was about to cry, i emotionally was driven near the tears.
I say it, we really messed with post-ww1, we did the bad things that led to the next war ; what have we done, we fools ?
My admiration means nothing to the world, but he did so much for the world, and that is why we should never forget him, and the rehabilitation must be done in our lands, these who decided to ruin germany's greatness and his future for some foolish reasons. I don't hate my country, but i am ashamed of what we done when i learn the history we didn't learn in school (and we learn few...and badly), Versailles's Treaty, and what came after...is our fault.
May one day the throne be occupied and the german people going back to reason and sing in chorus "Heil dir im Siegerkranz".
May i am actually hill and a victim of a trauma, over-interpreting 1871's defeat, or may am i just wise and i think clear, but i'll keep loving this old and good Germany that we learned to hate as a devil when we were kids and that we learned, by ourselves, to love after being freed from propaganda and learning the truth.
Our countries, ruined themselves, and now i think : we must, one day, bring good and wise monarchs to rule us, meaning actually, leading us to a proper and great future. Humanity will not perish as long as long as peoples like the Kaiser are here, but where are they now ?!
Kaiser Wilhelm looks much more kindly with his white beard, in my opinion.
A Prussian flower that have bloomed in its years and die, being remembered as a dead flower with thorns. Long live Prussia and the Kaiserreich.
Sure that was a great mistake, he was a great leader. Honor to the Kaiser!
As a German I start to warm up to Wilhelm (not only because of this video but because I started doing research). He had his flaws and he made mistakes but he was certainly no Hitler and the likes. I wish people would learn more about the monarchy and its good aspects than starting to glorify the Nazis once again.
If you thought he was like Hitler, you slept too much in history class.
I was very pleased to see this portrayal of the Kaiser in such a positive manner!
Seeing German troops meeting Wilhelm makes me so happy, both Wilhelm and the soldier looked so happy
Mein Kaiser! Mir kommen die Tränen. Ruhet in Frieden!
Kaiser Wilhelm II was a good man, he wanted only good for the German people Churchill is right they never should've forced Wilhelm into abdication
edit: I hope the Germans are proud of there Imperial roots, from what I understand Wilhelm II has a monarch memorial in Berlin
@Wild Wolf, it's very true. Unfortunately many views, both good and bad, are very misplaced about where the last Kaiser's place in history is... His heart was in the right place and he wanted all the best for Germany and tried very much to avoid war and maintain peace at all costs. What costed him everything though was his instability in thoughts and decisions, somehow he also thought that the English would somehow just see his ways and eventually come around to agreeing with his vision and ambitions, along with some speeches he made which exposed things at times in which it got International Attention that questioned his viability as a leader. If he just stuck to Bismarck's plan and waiting for his chance to revel in the Glory after Bismarck's passing, all would have been great, and he would have Immortalized himself as a great figure, even if he still would have lost the war.
Very handsome in his youth, and regal in his old age.
He was a fascinating person.

I hope you do a German language version of this video...Oddly people my age (late 30's ) and younger are much more friendly to the German monarchy(s) than the post war generation who at best are disinterested...
As a young boy I always admitted that there was a sort of history propaganda, like, Wilhelm is just another King/Emperor. Having powers don’t change your personality if you’re not a bastard. Even as a French if I had to pledge allegiance to an Emperor like Napoléon 7/8 or a kaiser, I would. They mostly have a soul.
Very good. Thank you for this pictures.
Every time Kaiser Wilhelm scolds someone he apologises
Beautiful video. Thank you.
It is time for Justice to be Done to another wronged Ruler and his family. This kindly man who is much aligned and treated badly because of the position he held and some misguided veiws that would be forgiven in others wasa kind,thoughtful man. He had been promised by his generals that the war would last long. While he worked for peace even at the last minute his generals and ministers were supporting the Austrians in the aim to go to war with Serbia. The men that caused it got of scot free and Hindenburg even became President of the Weimar Republic then installed Hitler as chancellor something the Kaiser would never have done. In the finish even the Kaiser was interned by Hitler.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Seiner Majestät.
This was emotional.
While I agree that Emperor Wilhelm II was and is heavily maligned and misunderstood he was impossible due to a certain insecurity that made him desire to be liked by everybody and that doesn't quite work. As far az WWI goes he was as more of a victim.
Thank you. Nicely done.
Ruhe in Frieden mein Kaiser Wilhelm 1859-1941
He chopped 40,000 tress in his life time. With one arm.

And the Pan-Slavic Serbians were not held accountable after WW1, they even got a Kingdom of Yugoslavia according to designs of Belgrade university professors.
WW1 crimes not accounted for, not until 1990s with the trial of Milosevich of Serbia.

I just ran across this. Thank you for the video and assembling the photos. If I had the ability to speak with him at the time , I'd suggest that giving Austria the "Blank Check' would perhaps be a mistake.
I didn't realise the allies forced him to resign. I thought the German army refused to continue to serve under him. if so it was a terrible mistake and one they did not repeat after the war with the Japanese. The Emperor retained his throne.

Where are you getting this from? These pictures are rare!
As a german monarchy-sympathiser, i have to say: May all those who finally understood how the Kaiser really was, march alongside the Hohenzollerns. My loyalty only goes to them, as long as they don't fail to rule. One day, the true spirit of germany shall rise like a pheonix from the ashes and bring us again an place in the sun, peace, prosperity and strength, to defend ourselves if needed. Germans have been so utterly wronged... A toast to all those who suffered, died and the soldiers at the fronts of WW1. We have suffered enough. The german empire shall arise again. As a mostly neutral, but strong state.
True true, but doesn't really matter anymore. Look at the youths of Germany nowadays...the demographic development, and of course look at the development in France or the UK too. These people will be gone before the end of the century. Also the US and the other major countries are developing fast in a different route. We're heading for a change of times and many people won't like it but it is inevitable. What you won't see again in the future is this old German spirit of the prosperous and dynamically evolving German empire. Parts of it may have survived all catastrophies of the 20th century, but now it's disappearing for good as the demographics change.
I will never forget him. He was a great person. He never wanted anything bad happen to mankind and his people. Bad happened to him, only his Prussian courage made him go on. At least he needn't see Germanys demise, one time god was generous to him.
Today: The good ones appreciate him. And the stupid ones don't :)
This is something my friends :)
@Ali Sina He was not innocent, but he is way better the leaders of Germany today, mr refugee
@Ali Sina Merkel is responsible for bringing in refugees that are ruining Germany culture and image. He is not responsible for those deaths, it literally says in the video that he didn't want war. If it hadn't been for the u.s., the Central Powers would've won, so don't blame him for causing something he didn't want
Is there any link to official sources where Churchill actually stated this? 1:07
I am a strong admirer of Kaiser Wilhelm 2 and Viktoria Auguste because I studied the facts - he was the last true german leader all the rest traitors and criminals- the protestant Kaiser represents a lot of virtues my German mother gave me - this was true nobility! The evidence speaks in his favor and all great architecture in Germany usually was built during his reign !

It would be quite lacking in prudence to claim that all other leaders after the Kaiser were "traitors"... For the most part, the only people who hold these views are Royalty descendants or those with serious love for Protestant values, and/or who had deep financial ties and connections to the tribe that loves to eat bagels, and the reason for the Empire and the War is in large part due to how they backstabbed Imperial Germany. This lesson was learned quite well, and it's the reason for what took place after the end of the Weimar Republic... The only reason that leader after Weimar is often despised so much is because many of the Prussian Princes both had envy but also despised how the bagel eaters were dealt with, because they intended on keeping cordial ties and their wealth they gained from the bagel eaters... The Third Reich also excelled MARVELOUSLY in its approach with how it communicated with and united the people, but also excelled in the Expression of the Prussian Spirit far more than even during the Imperial period. They brought back the beautiful glory and legacy of Pagan Spirit. Protestantism is not a good thing for Europe... We are meant to be Pagans. I have a strong belief your views are largely formed on the basis of Protestant biases, especially because of influences Prussia had in Latin America at one point.
Excellent
The German poeple have to bring the monarchy back. The house Hohenzollern is alive and well. And it also is culturaly important. I live in the Netherlands and while our royalty is nothing but a poppenkast (dollhouse in Durch) they represents Dutch culture. Germany should get the monarchy back and get rid of the liberals.
The last Royal Kaiser of Germani
As someone who studied biology I mainly remember him for ordering the invetarisation of the fauna of germany resulting in a standard work: 'fauna von deutschland' (by Brohmer) which still is the most used determination guide for fauna in western europe by biologists.
As such, even though he wasn't a scientist, he initiated a great contribution to science.
Formerly Colonel in Chief of Britain's Royal Dragoons. There is a picture of him in the video, wearing the uniform.
One question: What is your source for Wilhelm being interned by the Nazis? I could not find anything stating that.
It is on Wikipedia
Rest in peace dear Willy
He was a great King..
I don't cry you cry
our Kaiser will stay in our hearts!
He's an Emperor! Common citizens have no idea what that's like.
Thoughts on Kaiser Bill: He was crippled in the left arm by a botched breach delivery. He was, as later diagnosed, bipolar (not good for a near-absolute ruler). He drove himself very hard to overcome many of the obstacles in his path. His relations with this relations was uneven at best; his grandmothers (and paternal grandfather) did give him nurturing. He had too much thrown at him; consequently he turned out as he did. One could not help feel sorry for him personally...
I don't think he was bipolar, as he functioned effectively throughout his life, I think that he was more on the spectrum and perhaps had ADHD, he also had to content with physical disability and partial deafness, in an era when many of these conditions were not well understood or sympathetically treated. This was a massive set of issues to deal with and I think he managed better than could be expected. John C G Roehl did a massive hatchet job on him
i love this one : )
A great man and a hero , a champion for all
Ruhe in Frieden Letzter und unser Kaiser Von deutschland
