Hallöchen :) I'm a history student in central Germany. On this channel, I focus mainly on 19th and 20th century social and political history but sometimes diverge a bit from that.

The Daily Telegraph Crisis
If you like my videos and want to make sure that I make more of them, you can support me here: ko-fi.com/sirmanatee
The Daily Telegraph affair of 1908 could easily be considered as one of Germany’s biggest political scandals. It resulted in the resignation of the Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow and destroyed Kaiser Wilhelm’s reputation beyond repair. What started off as a simple newspaper article intended to somewhat improve the sour relationship between England and Germany quickly turned into a massive domestic crisis. It questioned the Kaiser’s role in German society and his impact on the country’s foreign strategy. How could it get this far? What was the Kaiser thinking? And was the whole ordeal really his fault?

Wait so their method of righting their history is by removing all evidence that it ever happened and vilifying the guy who is the sole reason Germany exists rn? Lit, that makes sense.
It seems like this is common throughout Royal families and aristocrats. It’s a fascinating story and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a film made about it.
The Italians did betray Germany even if it didn't end the war

Great presentation, thank you. Ever since Germany had united, she had grown to be a threat to the British empire, but not a military threat as the powerful British propaganda machine had slowly prepared and successfully convinced the population of, but a commercial threat. For the common man, none of his concerns really and certainly not a reason to die for so, the Hum began to eat babies and the Kaiser became evil incarnate, and no matter what he did or said, he would be deposed and his country's economic and industrial might, crushed. Still, voices dared tell the truth, but they were few and limited in scope: 'England and Germany', from The Saturday Review, 11 September 1897. No. 2185. Vol. 84, pp. 278. (A war in preparation) "Prince Bismarck has long recognized what at length the people of England are beginning to understand: that in Europe there are two great, irreconcilable, opposing forces, two great nations who would make the whole world their province, and who would levy from it the tribute of commerce. England, with her long history of successful aggression, with her marvelous conviction that in pursuing her own interests she is spreading light among nations dwelling in darkness, and Germany, bone of the same bone, blood of the same blood, with a lesser will-force, but, perhaps, with a keener intelligence, compete in every corner of the globe. In the Transvaal, at the Cape, in Central Africa, in India and the East, in the islands of the Southern sea, and in the far North-West, wherever and where has it not ? The flag has followed the Bible and trade has followed the flag, there the German bagman is struggling with the English pedlar. Is there a mine to exploit, a railway to build, a native to convert from breadfruit to tinned meat, from temperance to trade gin, the German and the Englishman are struggling to be first. A million petty disputes build up the greatest cause of war the world has ever seen. If Germany were extinguished to-morrow, the day after to-morrow there is not an Englishman in the world who would not be the richer. Nations have fought for years over a city or a right of succession; must they not fight for two hundred million pounds of commerce?"
Real Prussians are Balts who are ethnic cousins to the Slavs.
Not to jump to conclusions quickly yet the Reichstraat could function better if there had been translators despite numerous languages made. It had been formed at the wrong time. If such parliament should have been formed at 1947, the Austro-Hungarian Parliament could have functioned better with IBM's translation machine.
One of the advantages of monarchies where monarchs still make foreign policy is supposed to be that, as cousins, they feel familial fraternity and can have a quiet word behind the scenes to prevent warfare. Unfortunately, too often familial jealousies make warfare on their behalf that much more likely.
The German fifth column attacks in Bydgoszcz were not insignificant. You fail to mention them.
The foreign policy of Wilhelm II was slightly erratic. His childhood was terrible. He should have kept Bismarck and focus on pre-written and approved speeches.
A video on you tube showed that during the negotiations for german reunification, konigsberg was offered back to germany for a cash price...and helmut kohl refused....given todays russian nationalism, it will never happen now. He who hesitates is lost.
Wilhelm really was a reverse Midas in foreign and domestic diplomacy.
Erich Lunderdorff: German military was betrayed by (insert whoever you want to scapegoat)! German Socialdemocrats: That's a nice argument general. Why don't you back it up with a source!?! Erich Lundendorff: My source is that I made it the fuck up!
The infamous “hun speech” most likely never happened and is what we would today call fake news. All speeches of the Kaiser were published shortly afterwards by the government , including that one and in it there’s no mentioning of huns or the Kaiser pushing for war crimes. Actually, it is quite the opposite. In these years, the Kaiser was giving farewell speeches to good troops on quite a regular basis. Some troops were send to Africa, some to China, some to the Pacific. And as we know from the transcripts, the core of every Kaiser speech towards his troops was something like “you will meet people who look different, speak different, believe in different things etc., but you should never forget that these people too are gods children and you should treat them that way. Make sure that the good reputation of the German army is staying intact etc.” So what was different with the “hun speech”? The version we all know about was solely published in a local north German socialist newspaper who of course did not wish well to the royals. The article is full of ridiculous mistakes, especially when the author describes the way the Kaiser addressed the troops directly and the way he gave orders. It was obviously written by someone who was not an attendant of the speech nor by someone who has served in the military. Therefore the “hun speech” is most likely pure anti-royal propaganda crap that has nothing to do with the reality
The green party are basically communist and neo marxist. They hate germany and all things german. So naturally they want to demolish every stone that remarks a germany that was german. The greens literally deleted the word "german" in their manifesto. They hate germany and want it dead.
Knowing how proud and resilient poles are, i see little possibility of peaceful cohabitation with anything else than themselves. The monoethnic and cultural nation-state fits to the caracter of this people. The conflic with germans as well as ukrainians was inevitable or russians or jews. Multiculturalism was on the contrary in the genes of the old Austrian state which always seeked comromises. 2 different views. The expulsion of ethnic germans in 1945 was an horror but at least it created peace. Poles were neigher able to accept protestants. My polish neighbour who fled the country told me that poles tried to burn it's parent's flat because they were polish anabaptist". Be catholic pole or go away". To be homosexual is not different. Or disabled. Whatever. The german minority issue was just a specific case of polish intolerance. There is no criticism in my words : each people is different. Poles have right to be poles with their qualities and flaws. The idealism of Versailles treaty is much more to blame in fact. Prussian policy against poles before 1914 was slightly unfriendly despite the fact that poles were loyal to prussian state and German Empire just asking to speak their native language and have their culture
Before the second world war there were German communities in almost every country in central and eastern Europe....even in Bulgaria.. it would be a good idea to prepare videos on each of those countries even if the German minority was small, since they had long history in the territories they settled in
Extremely interesting! Thank you!
Very interesting. Thank You
Once again the Germans were being honest and direct while the anglo abominations were being perfidious blood suckers
I find claims that the German naval expansion was an attempt to compete with Britain's Royal Navy to be comical. It seems far more likely that it was simply to protect German trade and shipping as they rapidly became one of the greatest exporters of manufactured goods in the world.
"the bow-ers"
Germans were not leaving Poland after WW1. These were mostly Polish ethnic inhabitants. In 1910 they claimed they were Germans to avoid any suppression from German country.
Baśka story was probably censored and swept into irrelevance due to its origin in fighting communists. There are plenty of parts in polish history that were faded into obscurity by the soviets. You mention Katyń - open dialogue about Katyń is a fairly modern thing which was basically forbidden for half of last century.
Kaiser Wilhelm for no reason: *right click* *Begin Damaging Relations*
Opinion on the UA-cam lavader’s series on Kaiser Wilhelmina? He said the expansion of German navy was to protect trade
Has Lavader commented on the Hale interview? I'd love to see him try to spin that one.
No surprise about your second sentence. That is exactly what Alfred Mahan said in his very influential book about the history of Navies that defined the Pre-WW1 world. That book and its ideas influenced a lot of navies, including the Germans. Alfred Von Tirpitz, grand admiral and Minister of the navy during the Arms race, was very much influenced by Mahan and tried to replicate Royal Navy successes...
There's one Bismarck Tower in Szczecin (former Stettin). It was kinda a victim of Polish goverment trying to degermanize the city. It got a new name - Gocław Tower - but nobody uses it. It's probably one of the most German things we have so no local accepted the name change As a side note Szczecin has a very complicated relationship with its germanness. In the past the goverment wanted to have nothing to do with it. Nowadays people are more open and interested in the history. I've seen it in many places. Efforts to reclaim the German-ish identity of the city. That being said I think that Świnoujście (a seaside resort) is still more German. There're so many German tourists there and most of advertisements are written in two languages. You could easily assume that they're a sizable minority of the city
So you want me to just believe you and your anger at gods chosenites being shown to be less than what youd expect a chosenite to be, in fact it looks like they made that up...

Get real man, nobody cares if you are making A LIVING AS A JEWISH INTERNET DEFENSE FORCE PROPAGANDIST, yeah there is such a things as paid liars called jewish internet defense force... they are fanatically obssessed with what people think of them and their paedophile practices from the Talmud and all the other disgusting things they are part of and have done... No all of us learned authors must just have some gruddge against these innocent shopkeepers... GET REAL MAN why would you even try to disprove something and yet you are so uninformed about what you were talking about that you had no idea that there were 3 dolchstoß trials in GErmany where Sir Neil Malcolm was able to be quoted right out of a newspaper, at one of the several dolchstoß trials Paul von Hindenburg stood up with a newspaper and shouted "As the English generals have truly said the German Army was stabbed in the back" Hindenburg did not make that up nobody made it up IT WAS PRINTED BY THE BRITISH IN A NEWSPAPER quoted from one Sir Neil Malcolm... SO HINDENBURG AND ALL THE REST OF THE GERMANS DID NOT MAKE ANYTHING UP, you are the one making things up, what evidence can you put forward to corroborate this fanciful story? NOTHING
There's an entire video of evidence, I'd suggest watching but we both know you won't.
Allied Intelligence Reports During this period intelligence services throughout the free world were buzzing with reports of jewish involvement in communism. Since an impeccable jewish source, the Encyclopedia judaica, has largely convinced us of the importance of jews to the success of communism, let us briefly consider a small part of the testimony available from a variety of high-level sources. I will present each without comment, but notice how often they describe Bolshevik leadership in much higher figures than the Encyclopedia judaica, often to as high as 90 percent. Report of the American Expeditionary forces to Siberia, March 1, 1919. Captain Montgomery Schyler, speaking of events following the decline of the First Provisional Government, says: These hopes were frustrated by the gradual gains in power of the more irresponsible and socialistic elements of the population, guided by the jews and other anti-Russian races. A table made in April 1918 by Robert Wilton, the correspondent of the London Times in Russia, shows that at that time there were 384 "commissars" including 2 Negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen, 22 Armenians and more than 300 Jews. Of the latter number, 264 had come to Russia from the United States since the downfall of the Imperial government. Captain Schyler then provides a personal reflection: "It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the United States, but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since its beginning guided and controlled by Russian jews of the greasiest type, who have been in the United States and there absorbed every one of the worst phases of our civilization without having the least understanding of what we really mean by liberty." "American Expeditionary Forces, Siberia," Military Intelligence Report of Capt. Montgomery Schyler, National Archives, March 1, 1919. Declassified, Sept. 21, 1958, pp. 2-3. The Consul General at Moscow (Summers) to the Secretary of State, Moscow, May 2, 1918: "jews predominant in local Soviet government, anti-jewish feeling growing among population which tends to regard oncoming Germans as deliverers." Included in Foreign Relations, 1918, Russia, Vol. 1, U.S. State Dept., 1931, file No. 861.00/1757, p. 518. U.S. State Department Report, Foreign Relations, 1918, Russia, Vol. 11, p. 240: "Fifty percent of Soviet government in each town consists of jews of the worst type, many of whom are anarchists." 5 Ibid., Vol. 2, p. 240. Scotland Yard Report to the America Secretary of State, July 23, 1919: "There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by jews; communications are passing between the leaders in America, France, Russia and England, with a view toward concerted action." 6 Scotland Yard, "A Monthly Review of the Progress of Revolutionary Movements Abroad," July 16, 1919. Declassified, U.S. State Dept., Jan. 8, 1958, p. 1. Extract of Report from the Netherlands Minister at Petrograd on the 6th of September, 1918, forwarded by Sir M. Findlay, at Christiana, to Mr. Balfour: "I consider that the immediate suppression of Bolshevism is the greatest issue now before the world, not even excluding the war that is still raging, and unless, as above stated, Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world, as it is organized and worked by jews who have no nationality, and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things." Nesta Webster, "Secret Societies and Subversive Movements", p. 385. Concerning the British White Paper on Communism, which included the report from the Netherlands Minister at Petrograd, Oudendyke, Nesta Webster appends this footnote: "It is significant to notice that in the second and abridged edition of the White Paper issued by the Foreign Office these two most important passages marked with an asterisk were omitted and the first edition was said to be unavailable." Mr. Aleston to Lord Curzon, forwarding Report from Consul at Ekaterinburg of February 6, 1919: "From examination of several labourers and peasant witnesses, I have evidence to the effect that the very smallest percentage of this district were pro-Bolshevik, majority of labourers sympathizing with summoning of Constituent Assembly. Witnesses further stated that Bolshevik leaders did not represent Russian working classes, most of them being jews." 8 "British White Paper," Webster, p. 386 The Rev. B.S. Lombard to Lord Curzon, March 23, 1919: "I have been for ten years in Russia, and have been in Petrograd through the whole of the revolution. . . .I had ample opportunity of studying Bolshevik methods. It originated in American propaganda, and was, and is being, carried out by international jews... All business became paralyzed, shops were closed, jews became possessors of most of the business houses, and horrible scenes of starvation became common in country districts." Ibid.
Are you unaware of the 90 percent and even higher jewishness of communism? You are dismissing something without even looking at the evidence... So just so you are aware... There were inquiries by the German government to determine what this balfour declarartion had to do with treasonous activity like the German army having Paris surrounded in 1916 and running out of munitions... This was Walther Rathenaus responsibility and he clearly was persuaded by his fellow world jews to let the army run out of munitions at a critical moment because make no mistake, those converts to judaism but who have no ethnic connection to the judaites... these Ashkenazi Khazars... they are not even semetic... Anyway, they wanted Palestine and they pulled off this whole stab in the back to get it... Samuel Untermeyer later came out and confessed it all he was at the highest levels... Arguing about weather or not there was a stab in the back by foreign elements using communism to destabilize society, to overthrow Western Civilization is already a documented matter by military intelligence of Britain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, The United States, France... But explain this... Why did "Colonel House" Edward Mandel House write in his memoirs or whatever that there had been questions regarding what would be required to get the USA to abandon its pro German Stance and fight against its racial brother NAtion??? Before the war started... The answer was if Americans were to die on a ship sunk by the Germans than the jew$ with their newspapers should be able to capitalize on their monolopy of the newspaper to completely lie and call the Germans Huns and claim they cut ioff Beligian Nuns hands, that the Germans threw babies into the air and caught them on bayonetts... NONE OF IT WAS TRUE, Also the germans were accused of killing 6 million jew$ with nustard gas during ww1 but it was so stupid and ridiculous nobody would have ever beli3ved it, so they ceased and desisted... until 1945, just get "the 1st holocaust" by Don Heddesheimer... Anyway The persdon who said the German Army was stabbed in the back was Sir Neil Malcolm... If you would have just done some research you could have discovered all this and more... Also, the result of the jewish destabilization? a jewish socialist reviolution led by Emil Barth and Phillip Scheidemann... And its not my fault that jews chose to murder around 60 to 80 million Russians and other Eastern Europeans with Communism... For instamce the jew Vladimir Blank aka Lenin has a death toll followed by Jyri Lina of between 10 and 20 million... We know 11 million Russians died in the first 4 years of the jewish Bolshevik take over because they jews who made up over 90 percent of the secret police were nice enough to publish the numbers of the dead... Than you have the jew Josef Jhugasvilli whose last name literally meanws "son of a jew" in georgian... Or son of Douw for the island in the persian gulf that was a jewish settlement and old jewison was known to be from there and to be jewish... Here is a national archives military itelligence report about how jewish communism was, by the way the first law put into play under the red take over was to make anti semitism punishable by death... yeah...
My brother in Christ, Stalin nearly had all the Jewish doctors in Russia thrown in prison and was only stopped from doing so by his death. You're a lunatic and I hope you seek help.
1918: the strong prevail, cry about it 1945: the strong prevail, cry about it
If Germany wasn't an ethnic homogenous state, ... no actual or past nation would claim to be "ethnic homogenous state,". Just look the France, Britain, Italy, even Poland and you will see a bunch of minority ethnic groups in some regions...
Better to stop repeating actual political nonsense and personal partisan positions. It degrades the video quality.
Two interesting side notes. Danemark at that time was pretty isolated as they sticked 50 yrs earlier with Napoleon under the napoleonic wars till the end and did not join the anti napoleonic coalition. Second the danish king offered to Bismarck to Join the german union as he didnt want to lose his economic important areas. Bismarck refused as he didnt to have larger minorities in a German Empire. With regard to Austria hungary as destabilizing Factor
The Netherland were not a German Ally in Ww1 but most of german foreign trade of Ww1 was done via the Netherlands. Makes sense that he then went to the netheri
All sides were at the end of their strengths. Russia had the revolution. Germany won in the east. The hope was to Break through a last time in the west. Even if this had only resulted in a stalemate German would have went out as a winner. Only Thing different in European wars was the Intervention of the US. Without US.. there we're more mutinies happening among french soldiers already
Poland didnt exist as a country but had been split up btw russia, Austria, Prussia earlier. Supporting polish Independence was a double edge sword. There was a polish uprising in the 1860s that was supported by German public also financially but not by german nobility. Usually also in WW2 were preferred as 'occupier' to the russia as Germany was richer and more modern. Strategically German nobility wanted to secure German workforce, and create buffer zones to a russia after war that could easily be dominated by Germany. Therefore in 1917 Germany carved out all the eastern european states like Ukraine.. antisemitism was nothing of interest. But Germans developped a feeling of superioty when they moved more eastwards Like Belarus. They were simply underdevelopped at that time. One reason why Germans underestimated the russians in WW2. German Nazi party detested German nobility, German nobility despised them. Dont mix them up. Prussia by contrast was quiet Open to foreign Immigration e.g. hugenotts in 18th century. Lot of poles also migrated in the 1860s into the Rhineland Industrial areas
I sense that the war between Britain and Germany should’ve never happened, both were from the same blood and same culture so even by that it was wrong for them to go into war. I do remember tho someone stating that when Britain declared war on Germany, it was just buisness and nothing personal because the British policy lies within the balance of power. I honestly believe tho that Germany and Britain should’ve never went against each other.
Germany would have quickly crushed France, then defeated Russia. Ukraine would have been given independence and developed. No Communism, Fascism, WW2 and starvation and death camps. Surveys in the rest is history podcast show a majority saying England should have stayed neutral
So at the end of the day was it a case of misunderstanding, media manipulation or simply poor wording on the Kaiser's side?
Media being manipulative is a given, Kaiser Bill kept giving them ammo...
@theotherohlourdespadua1131 Either way they took it to their graves,
It’s very ironic that for all the things Bismarck did, it’s colonialism which draws the most public criticism, when he was opposed to it and only began imperial expansion when the public demanded it.
The German Empire was Europe's last chance to dominate the world in a fair way. It would've democrataicesd eventually, but our perception of democracy would've been different. Most people would've seen constitutional monarchism as the best way to put democracy in effect. Maybe militarism would've survived. Who knows?
'Dominate the world in a fair way' 😂😂😂
Heim ins Reich, jaaaaaaa
The oppression of Poles under Prussia was a short-sighted endeavour, and the province of Posen should have been kept as a duchy in the German Empire. But Poland reproducing those anti sentiments towards the German population would have been reason enough for Germany to retake the land lost to the Versailles treaty if it wasn't for the National Socialists going overboard. If the resentment had been kept and escalation continued after what Poles did to the German people after ww2, then the hypothec next time Germany regaining its eastern territory would have ended in the total deportation of all Poles. What Poles did after ww2 was way worse than what National Socialists did, and the Polish war crimes should be internationally addressed, to the dismay of the Polish government that desperately tries to hide its war crimes in favour to seem like a poor victim of aggression. Frankly, all of this should have never happened if Poles simply never migrated into German land and created a Polish kingdom. Germans could have driven Slavs out if they had gotten more time after they defended Europe from the Huns. Also Polish nationalists are the biggest pain existing in Eastern Europe.
The Partitions of Poland were a short-sighted endeavor.
@@skullmaster6888 Nah, Poles shouldn't have migrated to German land
@@3chmidt what? it's the germs who shouldn't have migrated to Polish land. that's why we're so anti-migration now :3
Those that tear down statues have no appreciation of history, uncultured
very little was told about Poznań insurgency of 1918, it was the most important of the very few successful military actions against the occupying powers. In 2021, 27th dec was estabilisehda national holiday
It was the Jews
There's nothing to take pride in anymore, why build big monuments in these shitholes for mutts to inherit
I see. Poland treated Germans just like how German treated jews
I watched a three part documentary on the Austro-Hungarian Empire last year and recently watched the multipart drama on Kafka, who was Bohemian. So this video makes much more sense now
Nice video. One question though any particular reason you call communists pacifists and fail to mention all the communist revolutions of the interwar period? Eibert crushed the KPD uprising incredibly violently so Im just curious why you left it out.
