Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) was a key figure in German history as it followed its fatal course from Bismarck to Hitler, and this book presents a detailed account of the first half of his reign. Concerned primarily with the question of who controlled Germany's powerful machinery of government, the text focuses on how the country's domestic and foreign policy was decided upon, and the issue of the continuity (or inevitability) of German history from the foundation of the Second Reich by Bismarck to Hitler's Third Reich.

1611 Seiten, 223 x 141 mm Schutzumschlag am Rücken ausgeblichen, sonst guter Zustand. 150. Geburtstag Wilhelms II. am 27. Januar 2009 Wilhelm II. hat um 1900 alle starken und kompetenten Persönlichkeiten von den Schaltstellen der Regierung entfernt. Umgeben von Karrieristen und Knechtsnaturen, die sich in Liebedienerei überbieten, übt er in fataler Weise sein persönliches Regiment aus. Inkompetent und selbstherrlich mischt er sich in die Innen- und Außenpolitik ein, versucht die europäischen Großmächte gegeneinander aufzuhetzen, betreibt eine mörderische Rüstungspolitik und führt das Deutsche Reich in den Abgrund des Ersten Weltkriegs. John Röhl, der international beste Kenner der Geschichte Wilhelms II. und seiner Epoche, bringt mit diesem Band seine monumentale Biographie des letzten deutschen Kaisers zum Abschluß. Atemlos verfolgt der Leser, wie der Autor noch einmal den Untergang einer Epoche heraufbeschwört; er erlebt, wie Wilhelm II. säbelrasselnd über das Parkett der internationalen Diplomatie stolpert, das Reich von einer Krise in die nächste führt und es schließlich vollständig isoliert: Burenkrieg, Boxeraufstand, Russisch-Japanischer Krieg, Marokkokrisen, Daily-Telegraph-Krise und Balkankonflikte - niemand ist in der Lage, den in seinem Handeln oft manisch, bisweilen gar paranoid wirkenden Herrscher zu stoppen. Sein Flotten-Wahn und sein Traum eines Europas unter deutscher Vorherrschaft enden erst in den blutigen Schlachten des Ersten Weltkriegs. Doch während Wilhelm II. ins Exil geht, seinen Judenhaß kultiviert und Hitlers frühe Erfolge bejubelt, lastet auf Deutschland das heillose Erbe seiner Hybris.

Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) ruled Imperial Germany from his accession in 1888 to his enforced abdication in 1918 at the end of the First World War. These three acclaimed books provide the most detailed account ever written of his reign. In Volume 1, on the Kaiser's early life, John Röhl charts the bitter conflict between the handicapped prince and his liberal parents, and the utter failure of attempts to turn the young prince into a liberal Anglophile. Volume 2 shows how Wilhelm's thirst for glory, his overweening nationalism and militarism, and his passion for the navy provided the impetus for a breathtaking long-term goal: the transformation of the German Reich into the foremost power in the world. The final volume examines the mounting tensions caused by the Kaiser's policies at home and abroad, and reveals his central role in the origins of the First World War.

This book explores the personification inherent in the notion of "Wilhelmian Germany" by investigating the psychological dimension of Wilhelm II's leadership of the Germans. Despite his historical reputation, many Germans welcomed the Kaiser's leadership. The years between 1890 and 1914 were known as the Wilhelmian era in Germany, and even critics of Wilhelm II thought it somehow fitting that he should be the German emperor. The author argues that Wilhelm II's personal needs and the needs of Germans in an age of intense nationalism made him the symbol of the nation.

Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) is one of the most fascinating figures in European history. Inheriting the 'mightiest throne on earth' in 1888, he played a central part in fashioning the policies which culminated in the catastrophe of 1914-18, the collapse of the Reich, and his own abdication. To an extraordinary extent he was also representative of his epoch: brilliant, bizarre, aggressive, insecure. Yet German historians have virtually ignored him. They have written the history of the Kaiserreich without the Kaiser, of Wilhelminism without Wilhelm, leaving the field to the amateurs. Recently, the conviction has been growing, in Germany as well as in American and Great Britain, that the huge advances achieved in the social and economic history of Imperial Germany must now be complemented by deeper research into the Kaiser's character, his role in decision-making, and his relationship to the social and cultural values of his era. In September 1979, a dozen historians met in the Kaiser's palace on Corfu to discuss these questions: this book contains their findings.

Kaiser Wilhelm II is one of the key figures in the history of twentieth-century Europe: King of Prussia and German Emperor from 1888 to the collapse of Germany in 1918 and a crucial player in the events that led to the outbreak of World War I. 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.

Almost a century after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Kaiser Wilhelm II is still viewed as either a warmonger or a madman, as the hundred-year-old propaganda posters remain fixed in the general consciousness. Was he, though, truly responsible for the catastrophe of the First World War, or was he in fact a convenient scapegoat, blamed for a conflict which he desperately tried to avoid?

This volume analyzes the immediate civilian and military entourage of the last German Kaiser. Its purpose is to lay bare the internal structures which combined to produce the peculiar, and ultimately fatal, decisions taken by Germany's leaders from 1888 to 1918. The declining position of the Prussian nobility and its efforts to save itself, the increasing predominance in high government of the Prussian officer corps and its rigid ethos, the inelasticity of royal bureaucracy, as well as the character of the semi-autocratic Emperor: these cultural and social structures formed an interlocking whole which determined the quality of political leadership and decision making. Isabel Hull's scholarly and carefully argued study dissects the upper level of leadership to discover the reasons behind its self-destructive response to the crisis of modern Germany. It will interest political and social historians, political scientists and sociologists and make fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the problems of modern Germany and its influence on the destiny of Europe.
