Is there any defense for this lip-armed dickweasel?
As far as I'm concerned he's the worst leader in modern history that Germany has ever had the displeasure of serving under, and is the -direct- cause for the fall of the German Empire not only in the war, but to rebels as well.

Daily reminder that Wilhelm was an /r9k/ pro
>Wilhelm had seen the interview as an opportunity to promote his views and ideas on Anglo-German friendship, but due to his emotional outbursts during the course of the interview, he ended up further alienating not only the British, but also the French, Russians, and Japanese.[5] He implied, among other things, that the Germans cared nothing for the British; that the French and Russians had attempted to incite Germany to intervene in the Second Boer War; and that the German naval buildup was targeted against the Japanese, not Britain.[6]
>The British leadership had already decided that Wilhelm was mentally somewhat disturbed, and saw this as further evidence of his unstable personality rather than an indication of official German hostility.[7]
>The Daily Telegraph crisis deeply wounded Wilhelm's previously unimpaired self-confidence, and he soon suffered a severe bout of depression from which he never fully recovered. He lost much of the influence he had previously exercised in domestic and foreign policy.[8]
>The effect in Germany was quite significant, severe embarrassment was followed by serious calls for the Kaiser's abdication. The conservative Junker politician Elard von Oldenburg-Januschau was the only member of the Reichstag to defend the Kaiser throughout the Affair. Wilhelm kept a very low profile for many months after the Daily Telegraph fiasco, slumping into a deep depression, never fully recovering from the humiliation. He later exacted his revenge by forcing the resignation of the chancellor, Prince Bülow, who had abandoned the Emperor to public scorn by not having the transcript edited before its German publication.[9][10] Bulow recalled in his Memoirs that:
>"A dark foreboding ran through many Germans that such...stupid, even puerile speech and action on the part of the Supreme Head of State could lead to only one thing - catastrophe."

Fuckin´Wilhelm was a dumbass. Clueless on foreign policy, and highly insecure. He fired Bismarck, because he started opposing Wilhelm.
>>2634230
literal aspergers
absolute monarchies were probably on their way out in europe anyway, but this whore probably sped the process up a whole hell of alot, also eliminated the chance of Germany, Austria, Russia, ect existing with a parlimentary monarchy like britain
Add the fact that the results of WWI laid the foundation for the rise of Nazi party and the eventual WWI kickoff. This guy truly ruined Europe then and for all time.
>>2634300
*WWII rather.
Reading up on his life, it seems that in his retirement he really grew in wisdom, realized the mistakes he made too late. Wikipedia has something interesting to say on it:

>>2634300
his incompetent leadership gave rise to the revolts at the end of WWI aswell, and the communist revolts during the interwar period. aside from
>FUCKING ENABLING COMMUNISM REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2634319
which is a real shame that ol' kaiser Fred didn't live that long
though it would've resulted in a parliamentary monarchy because lil' powerhouse vicky it would've allowed Wilhelm II to mature more and more to the point of becoming Kaiser, rather than being thrust into it literally just as he was starting to attend foreign offices to *start* learning
Surprised there isn't more wilhelm ii hate on /his/
Alright that's ENOUGH
Wilhelm II the GREAT was the greatest leader in German history. Bismark was an unsubordinate whiner who got upset that Wilhelm wasn't as big of a pushover as his grandfather, and he deserved what he got.
>>2634201
>As far as I'm concerned he's the worst leader in modern history that Germany has ever had the displeasure of serving under
LOL
Let me tell you this, aint no mystery
Wilhelm the GREAT will go down in history
>>2634381
m8 he couldn't even use this left arm to read the goddamn paper
>>2634385
he gave rise to hitler so yeah
>>2634392
Look at you, so noble, making fun of the disabled. And yet, Wilhelm persisted in spite of his disability, learning how to do many things like horseback riding with only one hand. That's something to be admired, not mocked, especially from someone like you who likely uses your two good hands for little more than shitposting and jerking off.
>>2634417
ooo he could ride horses with his bitch-arm
didn't save the world from the two absolutely atrocious wars
Who the fuck fires the Iron Chancellor?
>>2634436
the good ol' iron fister
Oh yes, Wilhelm. The guy who decides to make the worst possible move in dismissing Bismarck while actually being in the right concerning the particular argument.
Wilhelm II - March 18th, 1890, 5:57PM
@realKaiserBilly
