The Germans

Episode 10: William and the World

Part 10: William and the World explains how Hohenzollern Emperor William II – unlike Otto von Bismarck – wanted to make the German Empire a world power. The First World War demonstrated once again that Germany could only survive if it lived in peaceful co-existence with Europe, not if it opposed it. The founders of the Weimar Republic faced the same challenge.
