wilhelm ii

I recently found out that Wilhelm had a crush on his cousin, Elisabeth of Hesse and had attempted to propose to her which she rejected him. What type of effects would this marriage had caused if Elisabeth had accepted it? Would this had toned down Wilhelm's views and possibly keep the German...

Hello to all who are reading this new TL of mine. It's been a (very) long time since I was into the TL writing business on this board and this is effectively my first TL since it's been that long. I hope that my TL isn't too zany and I hope to entertain you with a good story to tell... Chapter...

Let's say that the March 1901 assassination attempt on Kaiser Wilhelm II is fatal, resulting in the early death of the Kaiser. Crown Prince Wilhelm is crowned as Wilhelm III of the German Empire, becoming the fourth Kaiser of the German Empire. Due to his young age at 19 years old, Wilhelm III...

your challenge is to have Wilhelm II conquer the whole world

If somehow Kaiser Wilhelm II would have not reigned over Germany, would World War I still happen? I read somewhere that WW1 was not the result of Wilhelm II’s reign, but the result of the German army and Prussian elite having very much influence on there politics. So basically: a modern country...

The mortality rate of 19th century royalty was fairly high, e.g in 1892 Albert Victor, second in line to the British throne died suddenly. Had a similar fate befallen the then Prince Wilhelm of Prussia - who would grow up to become Kaiser Wilhelm II, the fate of Europe might have been very...

Fun one a day V4? What if near the end of World War One, for whatever reason (political instability, collapse of the front, etc) Wilhelm flees to his relatives in Romania? I know that Rumania joined the Entente, but for all intensive purposes in this scenario they stay out of the war. I hope...

The following is inspired by the OTL reputed Anti-Nazi stance of Wilhelm II's other sons specifically Eitel Friedrich, Oskar and Adalbert. In the unlikely scenario of Germany becoming a constitutional monarchy after WW1 (let alone post-WW2), the challenge is to get either one of Wilhelm II's...

Since 2013, British succession laws to the Throne have been changed to every first born being the automatic heir no matter what gender the child is. But what if instead of Queen Elizabeth II bringing that law into place, Queen Victoria did? That would mean her daughter would become Queen...

Okay, so, Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II was a rising power, but one with a rather large handicap: bad leadership. Many focus on Kaiser Wilhelm himself, and it's probably undeniable that his psychosynthesis and conduct probably wasn't good for Germany. But oftentimes I have seen folks saying...

So Wilhelm II is pretty famous for being quite a jackass-arrogant and blustering while also being an insecure people pleaser. He got himself in hot water with a bloodthirsty speech to the troops he shipped off to the boxer rebellion, alienated Nicholas II with endless patronization, and got his...

Your challenge, with a POD after August 1, 1914, is for Kaiser Wilhelm II to end up executed like how "Hanging the Kaiser" was a popular slogan in the Entente countries. It doesn't matter whether his execution is carried out by domestic revolutionaries (perhaps a more radical 1918 Revolution...

The Willy-Nicky telegrams were a series of personal communications between cousins (first cousins via Alexandra Feodorovna, 3rd via Paul I of Russia) Tsar Nicholas II and Kaiser Wilhelm II on the eve of WWI. They were rather friendly, and each was accustomed to calling the other "Willy" or...

Instead of necro bumping one of the older threads on this topic, I thought it'd be better to start a a new one. In 1887, Bismarck arranged the Reinsurance Treaty to deal with the collapse of the League of the Three Emperors. It was to prevent a Russian convergence toward France, securing Germany...

So let’s say Wilhelm II is born perfectly healthy. In fact, not only is he born a healthy man, he in fact grows up to be a genius, who is deeply invested in military studies. He is basically a Napoleon of his age, and well known to be an extremely capable strategist and soldier by the start of...

It seems to be a near consensus here that Imperial Germany building up its navy was detrimental, because it antagonized the British and the Germans were never going to have a fleet large enough to match the Royal Navy. However, without a navy at all, wouldn't the German Empire have become...

The zeitgeist, spirit of the age, can often be radically changed or altered by the few or even one man at a particular point in time. In the late 1800s in our timeline, Germany it was set by Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Prussian Junkers who favored conservative autocratic monarchy and the...

So I've been playing around with an idea in my head, what if Wilhelm II does not become the kaiser, say his father realized his hate for great britain and decided to give it to someone else. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas who might get it. I was thinking perhaps Prince henry(of Prussia)...
