Despite the fact that he was not effectively looked to unleash the First World War, he had a fantasy of building a capable German Empire. Anyhow, he needed to attain to it without gore. His powerlessness to plan things like Bismarck made him wind up with implausible arrangements and disorderly explanations.
However, his better judgment at one point showed a world war was unavoidable and attempted his final resort of individual act to safeguard the peace by his "Willy and Nicky" correspondence and affecting after the Austro-Hungarian final offer that Austro-Hungarian troops ought to go no more distant than Belgrade, subsequently restricting the contention.
However, by then it was unreasonably late, for the excited military authorities of Germany and the German Foreign Office were fruitful in influencing him to sign the preparation request and start the Schlieffen Plan. William was caught by his military world class and made the First World War to be called his own particular launch by the British and unjustifiably named it a "the Kaiser's War" of which he was by and by not mindful by unleashing the contention.
At a certain point, William reminded his Generals before the war communicating his cynicism as "You will lament this, men of honor". Be that as it may, he urged Austria to seek after a hard line with Serbia and the consequent German activities amid the war picked up him the title of "Preeminent War Lord".
As the war advanced, his impact subsided and inescapably his absence of capacity in military matters prompted a perpetually expanding dependence upon his commanders, to such an extent that after 1916 the Empire had successfully turned into a military autocracy under the control of Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff.
Progressively cut off from reality and the political choice-making methodology, William wavered in the middle of defeatism and longs for triumph, contingent on the fortunes of "his" armed forces.
Despite the fact that he was utilized by the military Generals as a helpful nonentity and made him to recompense awards and brave discourses, at one point he understood the need of a capitulation and impacted the military and political order. He truly felt the German Nation ought not to drain to death for a diminishing reason.
