| | Kaiser Wilhelm I, Emperor in Germany |
 | | Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, 1797 - 1888, served on Blucher's staff at the Battle of Waterloo, became Regent of Prussia in 1857 and King on the death of his brother, King Friederich Wilhelm V, in January, 1861. |
 | | Wilhelm seems to have considered the Army to be, not a tool of statecraft but his own personal collection of toy soldiers, and he didn't want to take any risks with them. |
 | | Friederich III ruled only 90 days, and Wilhelm's grandson, a blustering, thoughtless bully with an inferiority complex who had cruelly harassed his dying father to give up his rights to the throne in his favor, became Kaiser Wilhelm II. |
