		Wilhelm was himself deeply reluctant to make such a sacrifice, instead expressing a preference to lead his armies back into Germany from the Western Front.
		Wilhelm's abdication was announced by Chancellor Prince Max von Baden in a 9 November 1918 proclamation - before Wilhelm had in fact consented to abdicate (but after Social Democrat Philipp Scheidemann had announced the Kaiser's departure from the balcony of the Reichstag).
		Having instigated the Kaiser's abdication Prince Max resigned, handing power to incoming Chancellor Friedrich Ebert who, in statements issued on 10 November and 17 November, appealed for public calm and reassured the German public that the incoming government would be "a government of the people".

	[No title]
		The fourth authority whom the Kaiser upheld in the presence of his councilors was Governor von Berlepsch from Koblenz, who had drawn the Kaiser's attention to himself by his friendly attitude to labor during the strike of 1889, and had entered into direct alliance with him [thus circumventing Bismarck's authority]....
		The Kaiser protested against the experiment with the vacuum; he could not in any case allow matters to come to such a pass, at the beginning of his reign, that there would be a danger of bloodshed; that would never be forgiven him.
		Wilhelm was incensed by the publication of the diaries, "unheard of without permission from the reigning monarch," as he wrote to the heirs.

	Kaiser Wilhelm II & World War I
		Wilhelm II was convinced of his divine right to rule, and was not prepared to play a passive role alongside Bismarck as his grandfather Wilhelm I had done.
		Wilhelm II’s desire for ‘personal rule’ meant that any of his personal traits would be very important; therefore ‘Wilhelm II’s impulsiveness and infirmity of purpose aroused mistrust everywhere’.
		Wilhelm II stated publicly that it was ‘now or never for Austria to deal the Serbs’, which led to Austria-Hungary being pressured into declaring war on Russia on August 6, thus escalating a localised conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia into a European war.

	Kaiser Wilhelm - Uncyclopedia
		Kaiser Wilhelm was a loyal follower and baker for the German King Otto von Bismarck.
		When Bismarck went to war to unify Germany, Wilhelm (who was far too old to enlist in the king's army) showed his support by creating a new kind of ration that would be better tasting and more portable than the existing foodstuffs.
		Kaiser Bill had few freinds, only the Austrians (who happened to be hungry too), the Americans, some drug lords in South America, the Durka-durka-stanis, a man named Otto, and God.

		After Wilhelm was born, she often went back to England in the summer, because she loved England.
		And the precipitating factor of the growth of the German navy was Wilhelm's envy of the British fleet – his desire to be respected by his British cousins – because the British didn't care about the German army.

		The Kaiser was never a "full-scale" autocrat, and while he perhaps "dreamed of establishing absolute rule for himself...it remained no more than a dream." Röhl contends that this was particularly true in terms of military power, of which the emperor had very little.
		He cites Wilhelm's influence in the rejection of Britain's generous peace proposal in 1912, a move supported by his chancellor, Bethmann Hollweg, and one which might have forestalled war altogether.
		Wilhelm "never matured," and was seen as a child-like figure at army headquarters.

	Why We Go to War - Kaiser Wilhelm
		The Kaiser often indignantly denied that Germany was challenging Britain's domination of the seas, but there is clear evidence that this was in fact the aim of Adm. Alfred von Tirpitz, whom he made secretary of the navy in 1897.
		Secondly, the German Army and Navy were not responsible to the civil government, so that the Kaiser was the only person in Germany who was in a position to see that the policy followed by the soldiers and sailors was in line with that pursued by the civil servants and diplomats.
		The chief real criticism to be made of the Kaiser is that, instead of seeing this danger and using his influence to restrain German appetites, he shared those appetites and indeed increased them, particularly by his determination to give Germany a navy of which it could be proud.

		Wilhelm's dismissal of the chancellor, Bismarck, generally attributed to a young, incompetent kaiser's jealousy, is here construed as a necessary and long-overdue act.
		Wilhelm's withered left arm, the result of incompetent obstetricians and seen by Freud as the source of the emperor's compulsion to prove his masculinity, was actually only a slight handicap that Wilhelm overcame with great strength of character, attests MacDonogh.
		Wilhelm is one of the most contradictory and controversial leaders of the 2th century, but this book never really gives you a sense of his personality or his relationships with others.

	Amazon.ca: Kaiser Wilhelm II: Books: Christopher Clark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Following Kaiser Wilhelm's political career from his youth at the Hohenzollern court through the turbulent peacetime decades of the Wilhelmine era into global war and exile, the book presents a new interpretation of this controversial monarch and assesses the impact on Germany of his forty-year reign.
		Clark points to Wilhelms attempts to mediate between Serbia and Austria-Hungary as evidence of his reluctance to allow Germany to be sucked into a Balkan engagement in 1914.
		Clark concludes that the Kaisers capacity to exercise a command function was narrowly circumscribed, which considerably diluted his influence among Germanys military leaders.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Eulenburg-Hertefeld, Philipp, Prince zu
		Although Philipp zu Eulenburg began his career inauspiciously as a merely adequate member of the German diplomatic corps, his fortuitous meeting with Crown Prince Wilhelm, soon to be Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the subsequent close friendship between the two men catapulted Eulenburg into a position of enormous personal influence over German politics and policy.
		Wilhelm, twelve years younger than the 29-year-old Eulenburg, immediately fell under the spell of the charming, entertaining, and cultured older man. Many believe that Wilhelm, who had an aversion for his own parents, found a surrogate in Eulenburg.
		Some believe that Wilhelm's knee-jerk reaction to avoid the taint of homosexuality only exacerbated Germany's hyper-militaristic leanings, thus helping set the stage for the disaster of World War I. Eulenburg lived in retirement without further contact with German government or the Kaiser until his death in 1921.
