Kaiser Wilhelm II has always been seen as the boogeyman of the early 20th century, how he was a mentally unstable, war-mongering person who wanted nothing more than to conquer all of Europe and put the continent under the boot of so that is the mainstream thought about him. In this detailed documentary, I will be examining his early years in power, his relationship with the United Kingdom, how he tried to prevent World War I, how he acted during it, and finally ending it with his abdication. You will see for yourself how much Entente propaganda slandered and demonized this monarch, and you will also see the truth about him. I would also like to state that the vast majority of my research regarding this documentary came from the book “The Innocence of Wilhelm II“ by author Christina Croft. While I may have credited the author in the description, I wanted to also bring additional light to the work since I see it as extremely important. In fact, some of the passages and paragraphs in the video are taken directly from her work, word-for-word since she makes an excellent case regarding the Kaiser. I would very highly recommend all of you buy her book since it also goes into detail about many issues I never mentioned, especially regarding his years before becoming Kaiser.
