		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".

		After an original character sketch of the Kaiser, the book then examines the Kaiser's friends and favorites, the neo-absolutist culture of the court and of Berlin society, and the nature of his relationship with the court and with the administrative corps in Prussia and the Reich.
		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.
		That Wilhelm II did precisely the opposite is a matter of embarrassing record.

		Too much has been made perhaps of his responsibility for the catastrophic failure of Germany's foreign policy or for the tremendous development of its internal prosperity and its position as a great power, for in many respects he acted as a constitutional sovereign, and the blunders of his ministers were not his.

	Kaiser Wilhelm
		William II (1859-1941, ruled 1888-1918), the last German emperor, gave up his throne when Germany was defeated in World War I. He was the grandson of William I and the eldest son of Frederick III.
		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.
		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 private comments about his family and belicose public comments on diplomatic incident well as his decisssion to build a navy to challenge England were major factors in changing England from viewing Prussia/Germany as an ally against France to seeing Germany as England's principal adversary requiring a raprochment with France.
		Wilhelm who was especially interested in foreign affairs and had been grromed by both his grandfather and Bismarck began to see himself as particularly gifted in diplomacy.
		Wilhelm's private comments about his family were bad enough, but his belicose sable rattling when diplomatic incidents occured and drive to build a navy which could threaten Britain help to create an enemy where one had not before existed.

		Wilhelm was by all accounts a simpleton given to idolizing military glory, and you'll often see pictures of him inspecting cannons, at battleship christenings, leading Hussars on parade, etc. He chomped at the bit for glory in war, although the jury's still out whether or not Germany was the aggressor of WWI.

		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.

		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.

	William II, German Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William II or Wilhelm II (born Frederick William Albert Victor; German: Friedrich Wilhelm Albert Victor) (27 January 1859–4 June 1941) was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia (German: Deutscher Kaiser und König von Preußen), ruling both the German Empire and Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November 1918.
		The role of William II in German history is sometimes a controversial issue in historical scholarship.
		Bismarck resigned at William II's insistence in 1890, at age 75, to be succeeded as Chancellor of Germany and Minister-President of Prussia by Leo von Caprivi, who in turn was replaced by Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst in 1894.
