Growing up in Victorian England she was raised in a time where image was everything and she was deeply ashamed of Wilhelm II’s physical disabilities and basically tortured him as a child. He developed deep emotional pathologies and held grudges against the English that led to the isolation of the German Empire and eventually World War I. He is a very interesting historical figure, brilliant in some ways, but nevertheless irrevocably broken. And in the shadow of his abusive childhood and insecurities, millions of people died. Some might even say the English started World War II along similar lines, although that’s a bit more removed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820746&forum_id=2#49581041) |

I had to look this guy up. He looks physically normal. What were his disabilities? |

Date: January 11th, 2026 5:12 PM Author: big water buffalo stock car You had never heard of Kaiser Wilhelm II the last German Emperor before today? His left hand was paralyzed or something. His mother would have the doctors force him to tie his right hand down to his body and then she'd force him to try and ride a horse using only his paralyzed arm. She would do this for hours and he fell off countless times. |

To be fair, there have been so many European rulers in the past 600 years that it's hard to remember those outside one's area of interest. |

At least he wasn't born a Habsburg... |
