He’s supervising the roll factory that came online in early 1912.

Made up fact: that factory would go on supply 40% of the troops that fought in WWI.

This was the bread that was broken during the Christmas Truce.

He was just a year away from pulling off what kids today call a “pro gamer move”

If you’re ever in the UK, get out of London and go see Osborne house. Home of Queen Victoria. It’s a beautiful place and has some lovely walks. The rooms are mostly restored or untouched, and there are thousands of photographs.

You can see pics of Wilhelm and the other kids (later kings of various European countries) and he’s the one stood off not playing with the others.

Described by the maids as sulky, jealous, and occasionally spiteful.

If he took off the costume but kept the cigarette, I could kind of imagine him playing keno at the local dive bar.

Conscious of his withered left arm, he often posed with that hand resting on a sword.

Except he didn’t start it. A serbian terrorist group started it and Germany was obligated to join and France was obligated to ally against them. Britian got involved when Germany swung through Belgium to get to France.

Is the helmet designed by Elon Musk’s grandpa? That would explain things.

Yes, and I always think about what are they thinking at the time of those pictures since they probably don’t know they are being photographed.

And most of times I think: maybe he is thinking on something important or maybe he is just thinking on how much time left for dinner.

OldSchoolCool?

This is the guy who literally walked into war games that his generals were doing to pre-plan out WWI, dressed in full dress uniform, demanding that get to play Germany, and that Germany win.

Historians say, that if he wouldn't have started it, the Brits or Russians would probably have started it a few years later. Waging wars to gain something was common practice among nations back then.

Not really. The British focused on their colonies and only involved themselves in continental affairs when they had to. The Russians had plenty of challenges at home. The Bolsheviks took over in just a few years.

The Germans, on the other hand, had recently unified and had just gone to war and annexed large bits of France and Denmark and Poland. Germany was expansionist at the time. The other major powers were not.

They were certainly not to back down. Germany ensured Austria their support against Serbia and Russia. Russia ensured support to Serbia and France ensured their support to Russia.

I think it is not that easy to blame just one side. All Nations were not exactly keen on sending out peace diplomats.
