I want to recall that after 1916, Germany was, in effect, a military dictatorship dominated by two generals, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff🤨🧐🤔#4dmakinghistory
About my past in 1914 it was somewhat harsh, I was psychologically devastated by the criticism that followed the Eulen-Harden scandals and the Daisy Telegraph; suffered an episode of depression 😣#4dmakinghistory
With only 2 years of my coronation I broke with Otto von Bismarck, the “Iron Chancellor” who has dominated German politics since the 1860s.
Now thanks goodness we are still good companions🤝
