Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incredible work presents the memoirs of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. Despite maintaining the German Empire's status as a great power by building a solid navy, his brash public statements and inconsistent foreign policy significantly antagonized the international community and are considered by many to be one of the underlying causes of World War I. When the German war effort tumbled after a string of devastating defeats on the Western Front in 1918, he was forced to resign, marking the end of the German Empire.
