[QUOTE="Contagion, post: 1185160, member: 14456"] Care to tell me how Kaizer Wilhelm did irreversible damage? I think that's taking the easy way out. Every single European power was itching for a war before the First World War kicked off. There was nothing that the German Kaizer could've done to avoid it. What I mean by that is that even if Kaizer Wilhelm had made a rational decision after the assassination of Ferdinand in the Balkans, there would've been some other event that would've kicked it off down the road. I don't think Kaizer Wilhelm did irreversible damage. I think the allies did irreversible damage with The Treaty of Versailles, which was the single worst treaty of the turn of the century. I'm not sure how you don't see a lot of long term thinking on Kaizer Wilehlm's part. He was building up the German navy to rival that of the British. He was making Germany into a powerhouse. He did have long term thinking, he just lost the war that all the big European powers were itching for. [/QUOTE]
