Footage of Kaiser Wilhelm II
A film showing Kaiser Wilhelm II in various scenes.
Kaiser Wilhelm II
“Various scenes of Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany, in different locations: clear view of the Kaiser walking towards camera, with German officers on his left, and a postal delivery service building in immediate background; view of Wilhelm and unidentified man entering carriage, Kaiser with group of men on horseback, Kaiser greeting a line of dignitaries, and final long shot of Wilhelm posing for the camera with a large group.”
Emperor Wilhelm II ruled over Imperial Germany between 1888 and 1918. He was closely related to two other European monarchs of the time: King George V of the United Kingdom and Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II. Despite these familial ties, all three men found themselves embroiled in the conflict of World War I. For Wilhelm, the war ended with his own abdication and the formation of the Weimar Republic.
