Further Information on the person
Profession:
(1859-1941) last German Emperor (German: Kaiser) and King of Prussia, reigning from 15 June 1888 until his abdication on 9 November 1918.
Year of Birth: 1859
Wilhelm II, German Emperor, was born on January 27, 1859, in Berlin, Germany. He was the eldest child of Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia and Victoria, Princess Royal, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Wilhelm II ascended to the throne in 1888 following the death of his father, Emperor Frederick III. During his reign, he pursued a policy of militarism and imperial expansion, which ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
Wilhelm II was known for his grandiose personality and flamboyant style, often dressing in military uniforms and adopting a regal demeanor. He was also a patron of the arts and a lover of music and literature.
Despite his best intentions, Wilhelm II's rule was marked by political instability and economic hardship. His aggressive foreign policy alienated many of Germany's neighbors and ultimately led to the country's defeat in World War I.
After the war, Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate the throne and go into exile in the Netherlands. He lived there for the rest of his life, spending his days painting and writing memoirs.
Wilhelm II passed away on June 4, 1941, at the age of 82. He left behind a complicated legacy as a ruler who sought to build a powerful German empire but ultimately brought about its downfall.
