      A LOT of his uniforms are in ‘Huis Doorn - the Netherlands’ where he spend the remainder of his life in exile after 1918. Sometimes the caretakers of this little castle put these uniforms on display, most of the time they are in storage. The corpse of the Kaiser lies there also, waiting for the monarchy to be restored in Germany... only then he will be buried in Germany... so, that will never happen! :-)

      ... his objective was a European balance to avoid war, but other leader of the german reich wanted more, and that was stupid...
      Elsaß-Lothringen was nessecaire only in the plan of the great germany, but finaly the kaiser choose the little germany (without austria) In fact, germany could have made France an ally against the British colonial hegemony
      . Or liberate more german territories of the austrian hungarian empire and russia, who would be far more profitable
      for das reich... second is the treaty of versaille who was far to hard (but understandable after millions of death) a light peace treaty could have avoided revanchism, and made this war the last european major conflicts... major european country could have just worked together to avoid another war like that....

      @@kamikazestryker The thing is there are many opinions about this or what should have been done, but truthfully the Germans did not have any more favorable of a situation, and it was actually a bad situation due to the geographical location of Germany, even Bismarck realized this... The thing is, world war would have almost entirely been unavoidable, especially with the countries France, England and eventually Russia. Bismarck had helped keep the peace and stability, but France wanted revenge for the former war and victory against them and taking a territory of theirs. Also, England was becoming very watchful and suspicious about Imperial Germany's growing power and influence in the region and did not want to give up their hegemony over Europe. War would have one way or another been forced upon the Germans, even if Bismarck would have still been alive and had say in the matters.

    0:50-0:57 - King Constantine of Greece (the Kaiser’s brother-in-law) observing German Army manoeuvres in Spring 1914 - just months before the start of the Great War. He was a graduate of the Imperial German War College (Berlinisches Kriegsakademie, 1886-1888) and had served in the Zweite Regiment zu Fuss (Prussian Imperial Food Guards) the uniform of which he is wearing in this scene. Greece would later find herself on the side of the Allies (the “Entente Cordiale”) and Constantine himself would be exiled for his pro-German (officially neutralist) sympathies. The aftermath of his bitter conflict with the charismatic Liberal statesman Eleutherios Venizelos was the beginning of great calamities for the Greek nation, and still resounds in the country’s political life to this day...

Her parents were Mexican and had immigrated in the 80's, where she was born. All she had known was Germany raised as a Mexican. She attacked me for being American. She attacked me for patriotism. She attacked me for anything I sought to feel prideful over. When I asked her if she was proud to be German, she said no. She was not white and did not have any heritage worth lederhosen. She truly hated the country that had raised her.

    One thing that is consistent in several of these films is that the Kaiser was reviewing his marching troops not distanced from them or at the top of a raised platform with lots of decorations, but as close to them as practical and accompanied by a small entourage. You don't see too many monarchs doing this.

I know the world became pacifist, but back then it was really different. And I say that Napoleon was a great commander, and person too. Even if he caused millions to die.

    You can date the times when the videos were filmed by the types of uniforms. The dark uniforms are the dark blue, pre-1908 tunics worn with black trousers. Some of the fancy head wear is really rare, like the Garde du Corps helmets with the Eagles as a finial[they were heavy, uncomfortable and completely obsolete by 1914]. Those Leib Kuraissere helmets with the lobster-tail neck guards were pretty but equally useless by 1914. By 1918, most troops wore the Stahlhelm, the Pickelhaube was worn only on ceremonial occasions usually only by officers.
