Wilhelm II
Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, reigned from 1888 until his abdication in 1918 during World War I. Known for his militaristic and nationalistic policies, he played a significant role in the events leading up to the war. Wilhelm II's infamous 'Hunnenrede' in 1900 called for brutal measures against Chinese rebels, drawing a historical parallel to the Huns and cementing a perception of Germans as barbaric invaders during the war. His actions and rhetoric contributed to the intense propaganda that framed Germany's role in the conflict, influencing public sentiment in the Allied nations.
