>Acceding to the throne in 1888, he dismissed the Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in 1890 and launched Germany on a bellicose "New Course" in foreign affairs that culminated in his support for Austria-Hungary in the crisis of July 1914 that led in a matter of days to the First World War. Bombastic and impetuous, he sometimes made tactless pronouncements on sensitive topics without consulting his ministers, culminating in a disastrous Daily Telegraph interview in 1908 that cost him most of his influence. His leading generals, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, dictated policy during the First World War with little regard for the civilian government. An ineffective war-time leader, he lost the support of the army, abdicated in November 1918, and fled to exile in the Netherlands.

Is this an entirely objective assessment of Willy?

The alliance between France and Russia in response to Bismarck's "muh priority alliance with Austria" was inevitable. Plus UK was going to be against Germany the moment the German Empire cucked the Brits in industrial output and economic power, which coincidentially happened in the early 1900s. Murica being the land of the jew, the home of the bank tycoons was inevitably going to side with the Brits.

Tbh I don't see any way around it to have Germany in a winning scenario after Bismarck enrolled Germany in a game it couldn't possibly win.

Well, yes, succesful Schlieffen Plan and capture of Paris. Other than that for Germany... either get fucked or become somebodys cucked bitch.

No, the United States is governed by an oligarchy from which many are ethnic Jews (others are not). This same oligarchy is closely related to the United Kingdom. But that is a long story.

I am not that anon.
