Pro German TLs

Depends on said Kaiser. If we get a Frederick III type over a Wilhelm II type...

I always found Wilhelm a most interesting character myself, worth more than his usual portrait as a buffoon in uniform. Probably I have a soft spot for a time when Hohenzollern were Hohenzollern (that is, had handlebar mustaches, wore Death Head Hussars uniforms and rattled sabers like it was nobody's business) and not pop stars or boring socialites, but I do feel he was much maligned by History, or at least by historians.

I think that this forum is choked full of TLs which see Germany triumphant, whether militarily, diplomatically, economically, or d) all of the above. And why shouldn't it? Twentieth-Century Germany certainly had an awful lot going for it, from industrial might to military power. After that, like with every major nation of that time, it's an issue of how much of a wank the story is.
