Germany was not the bad guy in ww1.. I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter. Stupid oversimplified: Rejects Roman annexation - Germanic Tribes defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them Creates an empire that wasn't really an empire but also was an empire and somehow lived for over 1000 years - very special and unique The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German States gangsta! Before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals. defeats the French, unites into a new empire Get a colonial empire Fights 80% of the world alone and almost won.. Is treated badly Comeback as Villian, fights the whole world and only lost because of own mistakes.. Gets divided again Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again. Also a few German inventions: - Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854) - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859) - The dynamo and tram (Werner von Siemens 1866) - The 35 mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925) - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - emigrated to the Americans during Nazi Germany - 1938) - The ship chart (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969) - Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864) - Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873) - The recorder, player - with which the first films were possible (Emil Berliner 1887) - The Aspirin - Which all great athletes felt used to relieve pain, And which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann, Klausi Alder.. 1879) - Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902) - Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903) - the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg) - The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz) - Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928) - Teabag (Adolf Rambold 1929) - The jet engines - Essential for all jets and rockets + First war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929) - First rocket (in general, Hans von Ohain) - The helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936) - The first car (Carl Benz - With honorary Schnauzer - 1886) - First Computer (Konrad Zuse 1941) - First 3D film (during the Third Reich) - Fanta (Yes THAT Fanta.. Also during the Nazi era) - The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869) - NASA (actually the US buyed thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves) The first letterpress Mashine (Which was probably the best invention of all time because now they could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440) - the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was a Swiss but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, Who triggered the gold rush in America. Not an inventor but cool fact - 1848) Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking. Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known (Actually) The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood, unfortunately also because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. Almost no German was a Nazi during the Nazi era. Also, any historian will tell you that the Allies, created Nazi Germany and WWII because of the unfair Versailles Treaty. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who fixes it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed everything and gave the Germans hope again. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy. It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers dying for the country. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. You must consider this one army fought against the rest of the world. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. What "Peace" could they expect. These soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal people knew that even more. Many were manipulated and could do nothing about it. The Nazis were a small parasite not the Germans. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power. We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German with perfection in his blood! Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA. And people are manipulated and have no prospects. A dark age. What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same. Thanks for listening 🥂 The Allies created Nazi Germany. Everyone always wonders how the Germans could do something like that. Look at something like ww1 We always look at ww1 from the Allied perspective. We are brought up and manipulated according to this image. Nobody looks at it from the German perspective. Germany fought 80% of the world. ALONE. With damn incompetent allies. The Frenchman can talk well with the British, Americans, Belgians, Russians and the entire British Commonwealth behind him. The Versailles Treaty was more than a disgrace. You expect them to fight 80% of the world fairly? Many don't realize that. And at the same time they had to contend with the British blockade. And we're talking about the bad bad Germans? You lose everything in ww1 and then in "peace" time your people will be treated like shit. Everyone hated the Germans after ww1 because of allied propaganda. Although the Allies destroyed many more civilian ships with their blockade. But we don't talk about that. what is the wage? An Ultimate Crisis. Money was worthless.. And if you have no food, no Water and job you will turn to anyone who promises to fix it. The depression in Germany after World War I was twice as high as in America today and then people wonder why they followed Hitler so easily. No wonder when you destroy the most powerful country in the world in science, military and pride and leave it to starve in the ashes.. There will be a growing hate. And yes, Hitler was a sick man. But evil is not born. And he didn't just say wrong things either.. Many wrong things.. The Nazis helped in the beginning.. Of course the Germans couldn't knew that Hitler was such a crazy man. And at some point it was to late. There was also a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier.
Germany was a powerful and big country and was proud of their history and its very sad that today germans arent proud of their country and try to distance themselves from it. Lang lebe Deutschland.
@@Gamerlen168 Thank you my friend! Exactly. The reason for this is that since Hitler, false democracies have been established in Germany and other European countries. Germans were taught from an early age to hate themselves and their history. To banish a complete opinion and view. However, how can there be democracy when complete opinions are federated. In addition, Germany is too op and the allies know that. That's why they made sure that there were fewer Germans and destroyed their pride.
one of the saddest parts of history is when i hear people say germany was the bad guys in ww1 there were no bad guys the entire war of ww1 was a war of greed empire vs empire wanting land no good guys no bad guys
@@swatinmates8828 yea that’s what I mean there were no good guys nor bad guys Brittan was no good guy in ww1 they planed to steel Germany’s colony’s witch they did and france planed to take some of mainland Germany witch they did and Russia planed to take Poland it was a war of pure greed nothing more
Even this colorblind NPC response is better than the moral grandstanding the allied golems keep prattling on about 90 years after it ended. Clearly we know that there was someone who (benefited) from the war. We know who it was.
Gotta love Kaiser Wilhelm’s smile at the end there. That’s a man who did everything he could to try to not have war but at every step their was someone throwing a stick in front of his feet.
What lala land are you living in, he was the biggest agitator to go to war after the assassination of the Austrian Prince. Whats even dumber is that people liked your comment thinking this is true.
Bro Kaiser Wilhelm was known for trying to start a war. Why do you think he gave the blank check to Austria. For anybody who doesn't know what the blank check is, it was a pledge from Germany to support Austria no matter what action it took against Serbia.
@@ops3892Did you learn history from American toilet ?, it was the Kaiser who support peace, his generals staff and chancellor who support for war you know at that time Kaiser share power with Chancellor because Germany was Semi-Constitutional Monarchy at the time
First of all it has the 4th largest gdp. And second, Bro trust me, Germany doesn’t has such a good economy as it seems. Germany’s economy went down by .2 percents last year. It’s all such a mess here right now. We have way too many homeless people and a big skilled workers shortage. Germany is 200 trillion euros in debt and the taxes are way too high (something like 40%). Trust me, it’s not as good as it might seem
Germany is one of the greatest nations in the world. Could only imagine maybe one or two counties I would rather live in. Living here is freaking amazing.

@@gammadion Millions of slave laborors and number manipulation is how. Hitlers economy was terrible. It was a failed socialist state that often has resource issues, hence why they chose to invade Russia.
Wilhelm wasn't perfect, but he was painted as if he was the devil itself, as a megalomaniac monster and as the only one to blame for the first war when he wasn't, i guess God didn't like that so he made sure we saw how it was when a *real* devil ruled Germany with Hitler
@@genovayork2468 i think you really should look deeper into how the events of ww1 played out, Wilhelm didnt wanted to go to war with his cousins, none of the three wanted, most of this idea of Wilhelm being a megalonaniac psycho was british propaganda, and just like their propaganda of Napoleon being short, it worked so well that most people today think its the absolute truth, he is pretty much only blamed this much due to being the strongest of the central powers, like for example, the Ottomans comitted genocide during the war, basically the equivalent of the holocaust(save the proportions of course) and were one of the last countries to abolish slavery, doing so far later than the Americas, yet you barely see anyone condeming them for neither of those things even though they have way more skeletons on the closet than the german empire
@@genovayork2468 Germany declared war because it was allied with Austro-hungary with them being the ones who declared first, and Austro-Hugary declared war because it had their heir to the throne assasinated, blaming Germany for backing up Austro-Hungary would be the same as blaming Russia and France from backing up Servia or blaming the UK from backing up Belgium

If ''Liebe Kaiser'' was alive and see the modern flags of countries he would only recognize British and Turkish Flags. He would say for Turkey ''Osmanen !'' Sad thing is that whenever you open a German TV you would see Documantery about Hitler and they show him as objective as possible or even show him more positive sides such as with his little jewish daughter etc. But they are not saying anything bad or good so they do it sneakily. On the other hands when it comes to Kaiser Wilhelm they OPENLY curse on him. They do it gladly without feeling shame ! I tell you Kaiser is the house owner and anything comes after him is just a temporary renter ! That is why his coffin is not buried yet because as he wished he is waiting till the Monarchy restored.
Kaiser Wilhelm was not an "evil dictator" and he didn't hate jews, germany had elections he only kikt bismark becorse of his military thinking, becurse wilhelm was a peace kaiser the Entente where the ones ho thrifed to war they preperd mutch years for an atack aginst germany. and when later the archduke of austria was shot they saw that as ther perfect intervine point, the kaiser tryed anything but he sadly couldn't stop the war from starting. Ther is so mutch to explain zb the lies of the Entente, rejected friendship and mutch more inportend stuff. There is actually a video on this topic and its 2 howes long or something its called The Peace Kaiser. The kaiser is a ∞/10
No,kicking Bismarck was one of the most foolish decisions in history,when Wilhelm II came to power,German military was at its peak and the Brits+Russians+French was no match for them.However Wilhelm thought Bismarck was a coward just beacuse he supported peace to keep others expanding their militaries,Wilhelm let Russians,British and French expand their militaries. Bismarck was a genius in politics+military including navy,Wilhelm was none of it. Yes i love Bismarck
@@Samuil-iq6eb if you genuinely think Wilhelm II was one of the darkest villains in history, you need to read more history. He was no where near the top with people like Hitler, Pol Pot, Leopold, Stalin, Mao, Tojo, etc.
Because of Trench Warfare, if you get outta that trench your ass gonna get whooped right by the enemy troops, If you try to do artillery it doesnt do much, and not only that, In trench warfare, Both sides literally shoot and hide, which is one of the main factors on why there was little expansions in the western front
I feel bad for kaiser Wilhelm ll all he wanted was a good empire but he saw it fall with his own eyes i saw a scene in a movie where he was crying bc he wanted to make it good i feel sad for him he was hated so much i dont know why ppl hate him all he wanted was help austria Hungary bc of ww1
To say Wilhelm II hated Jews would be untrue, I'm not gonna put the entire explanation here as that's a waste of my time, but the information out there.
Yes the last “German King” was technical Franz II who was also the last Roman-German Emperor. And Wilhelm 2 was the last King of Prussia and the last German Emperor. He was not Emperor of Germany. The word German is more like an adjective to the Emperor. As Emperor of Germany he would stand above the other German Kings and Lords which they would never accept, that’s why he was called German Emperor and not Emperor of Germany.
To be clear, Wilhelms oppositions to H came from: 1. Being a little Jealous that he wasn't in charge anymore. 2. Not understanding Ns. 3. Hearing a lot of anti-Ns propaganda since he was living in the liberal Netherlands at the time.
@@ShadowTZX1 he wanted to keep him as foreign minister. He just didn't like Bismarcks domestic policy because he wanted to execute all protestors which Wilhelm was against. For Bismarck though it was chancellor or bust.
Here’s a comparison between Adolf Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm II across the categories you’ve listed: ### 1. **Military Experience** - **Hitler:** Served as a soldier during World War I, participating in trench warfare as a messenger. He did not rise above the rank of corporal. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Held no combat experience, though he was a ceremonial military figure as the German Emperor and King of Prussia. - **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for his higher military authority, though not actual experience). ### 2. **Leadership** - **Hitler:** A charismatic and dictatorial leader who inspired mass movements. He consolidated power through terror and propaganda, directing a totalitarian regime. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Was more of an autocratic monarch with some influence over military decisions, but less successful in uniting his people during WWI. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (for his ability to command loyalty and control his regime tightly). ### 3. **Strong Military** - **Hitler:** Built one of the most formidable military forces of the 20th century, particularly the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Presided over the Imperial German Army, which was powerful but not as technologically advanced as Hitler’s forces. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (his military was stronger and more advanced). ### 4. **Strong Economy** - **Hitler:** Revived Germany's economy in the 1930s, pulling it out of the Great Depression through militarization and public works. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Oversaw a strong, industrialized Germany before World War I, but the economy weakened during the war. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (for successfully rebuilding a devastated economy). ### 5. **Held Two-Front War** - **Hitler:** Fought a two-front war during World War II, with fronts against the Allies in the west and the Soviet Union in the east. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Germany also faced a two-front war in World War I, against France and Britain in the west and Russia in the east. - **Winner:** **Neither** (both failed in their two-front wars). ### 6. **Personal Sacrifice** - **Hitler:** Lived a relatively comfortable life in power until the end, committing suicide in 1945 rather than face capture. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Abdicated and went into exile in the Netherlands, avoiding personal harm. - **Winner:** **Neither** (neither made significant personal sacrifices). ### 7. **Controversy** - **Hitler:** Highly controversial for his role in starting World War II, his totalitarian rule, and his genocidal policies. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Controversial for his aggressive foreign policy and role in instigating World War I, though not on Hitler’s scale. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (in terms of the level of controversy and infamy). ### 8. **Doing Genocide** - **Hitler:** Responsible for the Holocaust, leading to the genocide of six million Jews and millions of others. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Not directly involved in genocide, though his government’s actions in colonial territories (like the Herero and Namaqua genocide in Namibia) were brutal. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (for orchestrating one of the most horrific genocides in history). ### 9. **Won Their War** - **Hitler:** Lost World War II. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Lost World War I. - **Winner:** **Neither** (both lost their wars). ### 10. **Overcome Disability** - **Hitler:** Had no notable physical disabilities. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Born with a withered left arm, which he tried to overcome through physical exercises and modifications. - **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for overcoming a physical disability). ### 11. **Race-Obsessed** - **Hitler:** Had an extreme obsession with race, advocating for Aryan supremacy and pursuing racial purity through horrific means. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Believed in German superiority but was less focused on race compared to Hitler. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (for his racial obsession). ### 12. **Hated Jews** - **Hitler:** Infamous for his deep-rooted and genocidal anti-Semitism. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Held anti-Semitic views but did not actively persecute Jews to the same extent. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (in terms of sheer hatred and violence against Jews). ### 13. **Big Empire** - **Hitler:** Expanded Germany’s influence temporarily, conquering much of Europe, but lost it all by the end of WWII. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Oversaw the German Empire, including colonies, which was not as large as Hitler’s temporary conquests. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (at the height of Nazi expansion). ### 14. **Conquered Europe** - **Hitler:** Conquered vast portions of Europe, including France, Poland, and parts of the Soviet Union. - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Germany occupied parts of France and Belgium in World War I but did not conquer as much as Hitler. - **Winner:** **Hitler** (for conquering a larger part of Europe). ### 15. **Lasts Long** - **Hitler:** Came to power in 1933 and ruled until his death in 1945 (12 years). - **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Ruled from 1888 to 1918 (30 years). - **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for a longer reign). ### Conclusion: In terms of military strength, leadership, empire-building, and controversy, **Hitler** surpasses Kaiser Wilhelm II, but he was also responsible for far more atrocities. **Kaiser Wilhelm II**, while a more traditional monarch, did not cause as much destruction or infamy but had a longer reign.
There is so much wrong with this video: 1. Wilhelm II was the last EMPEROR of Germany, not king. 2. Wilhelm II served in the army since his adolescence. He may not have fought in a war, but he surely experienced military structure, and he surely was a better strategist than Hitler, due to his life long training 3. Wilhelm II did dislike jews, but he didn't hate them, especially not as much as Hitler did. In fact, when the German army marched into Russia, many jews flew to the German army, because they would treat them better than their own people. If you happen to be jew in Europe in the Wilhelminian Era (1888-1918),you better wish to be in Germany, instead of France, Russia, Great Britain, Austria or most other countries. Therefore taking the same amount of points from him as from the man that killed 6mio jews is completely unfair. 4. Wilhelm ruled 30 years, not 20. Form 1888-1918 If you do a video, please research at least the basics
@user-98k- what exactly are you talking about? The Weimar republic wasn't from 1915-1945, but from 1918-1933. And the hyperinflation was only 1924. And what exactly are you (not (?)) agreeing with?

Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
Thanks for listening 🥂
The Allies created Nazi Germany. Everyone always wonders how the Germans could do something like that. Look at something like ww1
We always look at ww1 from the Allied perspective. We are brought up and manipulated according to this image. Nobody looks at it from the German perspective. Germany fought 80% of the world. ALONE. With damn incompetent allies. The Frenchman can talk well with the British, Americans, Belgians, Russians and the entire British Commonwealth behind him. The Versailles Treaty was more than a disgrace. You expect them to fight 80% of the world fairly?
Many don't realize that. And at the same time they had to contend with the British blockade. And we're talking about the bad bad Germans? You lose everything in ww1 and then in "peace" time your people will be treated like shit. Everyone hated the Germans after ww1 because of allied propaganda. Although the Allies destroyed many more civilian ships with their blockade. But we don't talk about that. what is the wage?
An Ultimate Crisis. Money was worthless.. And if you have no food, no Water and job you will turn to anyone who promises to fix it. The depression in Germany after World War I was twice as high as in America today and then people wonder why they followed Hitler so easily. No wonder when you destroy the most powerful country in the world in science, military and pride and leave it to starve in the ashes.. There will be a growing hate. And yes, Hitler was a sick man. But evil is not born. And he didn't just say wrong things either.. Many wrong things..
The Nazis helped in the beginning.. Of course the Germans couldn't knew that Hitler was such a crazy man. And at some point it was to late. There was also a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier.
Germany was a powerful and big country and was proud of their history and its very sad that today germans arent proud of their country and try to distance themselves from it. Lang lebe Deutschland.
I am tired rn but i will come back tomorrow to read your whole comment, would one of you please remind me to come back?
@@AFN.90210 you can come back.
@@Gamerlen168 Thank you my friend! Exactly. The reason for this is that since Hitler, false democracies have been established in Germany and other European countries. Germans were taught from an early age to hate themselves and their history. To banish a complete opinion and view. However, how can there be democracy when complete opinions are federated. In addition, Germany is too op and the allies know that. That's why they made sure that there were fewer Germans and destroyed their pride.

@@genovayork2468 i think you really should look deeper into how the events of ww1 played out, Wilhelm didnt wanted to go to war with his cousins, none of the three wanted, most of this idea of Wilhelm being a megalonaniac psycho was british propaganda, and just like their propaganda of Napoleon being short, it worked so well that most people today think its the absolute truth, he is pretty much only blamed this much due to being the strongest of the central powers, like for example, the Ottomans comitted genocide during the war, basically the equivalent of the holocaust(save the proportions of course) and were one of the last countries to abolish slavery, doing so far later than the Americas, yet you barely see anyone condeming them for neither of those things even though they have way more skeletons on the closet than the german empire

Ther is so mutch to explain zb the lies of the Entente, rejected friendship and mutch more inportend stuff. There is actually a video on this topic and its 2 howes long or something its called The Peace Kaiser. The kaiser is a ∞/10
No,kicking Bismarck was one of the most foolish decisions in history,when Wilhelm II came to power,German military was at its peak and the Brits+Russians+French was no match for them.However Wilhelm thought Bismarck was a coward just beacuse he supported peace to keep others expanding their militaries,Wilhelm let Russians,British and French expand their militaries. Bismarck was a genius in politics+military including navy,Wilhelm was none of it.

Kaiser vs Hitler mustache: Kaiser +2
Correction: last Emperor of Germany.
Kaiser means emperor in German.
Yes the last “German King” was technical Franz II who was also the last Roman-German Emperor.
And Wilhelm 2 was the last King of Prussia and the last German Emperor. He was not Emperor of Germany. The word German is more like an adjective to the Emperor. As Emperor of Germany he would stand above the other German Kings and Lords which they would never accept, that’s why he was called German Emperor and not Emperor of Germany.
To be clear, Wilhelms oppositions to H came from:
1. Being a little Jealous that he wasn't in charge anymore.

@@NobleBoss You don't have to explain anything, as I've changed my opinion. I was just very anti-monarchy back then
Here’s a comparison between Adolf Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm II across the categories you’ve listed:
### 1. **Military Experience**
- **Hitler:** Served as a soldier during World War I, participating in trench warfare as a messenger. He did not rise above the rank of corporal.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Held no combat experience, though he was a ceremonial military figure as the German Emperor and King of Prussia.
- **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for his higher military authority, though not actual experience).
### 2. **Leadership**
- **Hitler:** A charismatic and dictatorial leader who inspired mass movements. He consolidated power through terror and propaganda, directing a totalitarian regime.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Was more of an autocratic monarch with some influence over military decisions, but less successful in uniting his people during WWI.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (for his ability to command loyalty and control his regime tightly).
### 3. **Strong Military**
- **Hitler:** Built one of the most formidable military forces of the 20th century, particularly the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Presided over the Imperial German Army, which was powerful but not as technologically advanced as Hitler’s forces.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (his military was stronger and more advanced).
### 4. **Strong Economy**
- **Hitler:** Revived Germany's economy in the 1930s, pulling it out of the Great Depression through militarization and public works.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Oversaw a strong, industrialized Germany before World War I, but the economy weakened during the war.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (for successfully rebuilding a devastated economy).
### 5. **Held Two-Front War**
- **Hitler:** Fought a two-front war during World War II, with fronts against the Allies in the west and the Soviet Union in the east.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Germany also faced a two-front war in World War I, against France and Britain in the west and Russia in the east.
- **Winner:** **Neither** (both failed in their two-front wars).
### 6. **Personal Sacrifice**
- **Hitler:** Lived a relatively comfortable life in power until the end, committing suicide in 1945 rather than face capture.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Abdicated and went into exile in the Netherlands, avoiding personal harm.
- **Winner:** **Neither** (neither made significant personal sacrifices).
### 7. **Controversy**
- **Hitler:** Highly controversial for his role in starting World War II, his totalitarian rule, and his genocidal policies.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Controversial for his aggressive foreign policy and role in instigating World War I, though not on Hitler’s scale.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (in terms of the level of controversy and infamy).
### 8. **Doing Genocide**
- **Hitler:** Responsible for the Holocaust, leading to the genocide of six million Jews and millions of others.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Not directly involved in genocide, though his government’s actions in colonial territories (like the Herero and Namaqua genocide in Namibia) were brutal.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (for orchestrating one of the most horrific genocides in history).
### 9. **Won Their War**
- **Hitler:** Lost World War II.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Lost World War I.
- **Winner:** **Neither** (both lost their wars).
### 10. **Overcome Disability**
- **Hitler:** Had no notable physical disabilities.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Born with a withered left arm, which he tried to overcome through physical exercises and modifications.
- **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for overcoming a physical disability).
### 11. **Race-Obsessed**
- **Hitler:** Had an extreme obsession with race, advocating for Aryan supremacy and pursuing racial purity through horrific means.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Believed in German superiority but was less focused on race compared to Hitler.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (for his racial obsession).
### 12. **Hated Jews**
- **Hitler:** Infamous for his deep-rooted and genocidal anti-Semitism.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Held anti-Semitic views but did not actively persecute Jews to the same extent.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (in terms of sheer hatred and violence against Jews).
### 13. **Big Empire**
- **Hitler:** Expanded Germany’s influence temporarily, conquering much of Europe, but lost it all by the end of WWII.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Oversaw the German Empire, including colonies, which was not as large as Hitler’s temporary conquests.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (at the height of Nazi expansion).
### 14. **Conquered Europe**
- **Hitler:** Conquered vast portions of Europe, including France, Poland, and parts of the Soviet Union.
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Germany occupied parts of France and Belgium in World War I but did not conquer as much as Hitler.
- **Winner:** **Hitler** (for conquering a larger part of Europe).
### 15. **Lasts Long**
- **Hitler:** Came to power in 1933 and ruled until his death in 1945 (12 years).
- **Kaiser Wilhelm II:** Ruled from 1888 to 1918 (30 years).
- **Winner:** **Kaiser Wilhelm II** (for a longer reign).
### Conclusion:
In terms of military strength, leadership, empire-building, and controversy, **Hitler** surpasses Kaiser Wilhelm II, but he was also responsible for far more atrocities. **Kaiser Wilhelm II**, while a more traditional monarch, did not cause as much destruction or infamy but had a longer reign.
There is so much wrong with this video:
1. Wilhelm II was the last EMPEROR of Germany, not king.
2. Wilhelm II served in the army since his adolescence. He may not have fought in a war, but he surely experienced military structure, and he surely was a better strategist than Hitler, due to his life long training
3. Wilhelm II did dislike jews, but he didn't hate them, especially not as much as Hitler did. In fact, when the German army marched into Russia, many jews flew to the German army, because they would treat them better than their own people. If you happen to be jew in Europe in the Wilhelminian Era (1888-1918),you better wish to be in Germany, instead of France, Russia, Great Britain, Austria or most other countries. Therefore taking the same amount of points from him as from the man that killed 6mio jews is completely unfair.
4. Wilhelm ruled 30 years, not 20. Form 1888-1918
If you do a video, please research at least the basics
@user-98k- what exactly are you talking about? The Weimar republic wasn't from 1915-1945, but from 1918-1933. And the hyperinflation was only 1924. And what exactly are you (not (?)) agreeing with?
