He always knew beforehand when the wrong action was being taken, be it the Kruger Telegram or his descent on Morocco. His powers wax and wan as suits, constitutionally unable to control his Chancellor’s foreign policy on one page, giving him “strict orders to maintain peace” on another. Wilhelm is a terrible liar, flatly denying events that most definitely occurred, such as the infamous “blank cheque” meeting with the Austrians on 5 July 1914. “I gave the dying Emperor his last joy on earth when I had the Second Infantry Brigade march past him, led by me in person.”īut what about the leadup to World War One? Well, yes, there are several semi-connected chapters.Īnd… …they’re worthless from a historical perspective. My man really loves his parades, and he’s pretty sure everyone else does too: Wilhelm is out to counter the narrative that he caused World War One. So, ex-Emperor Wilhelm II published his Memoirs in 1922, appropriately clocking in at a double-ply tissue-paper creaking 306 pages. ![]() ![]() Millions are dead, the concert of Europe is in tatters and your Crown is back in the gutter.Īnd everyone says: It’s.

In fact, in the original stage adaptation of the book, there are only two Black characters with major speaking roles: Calpurnia, the cook and de facto nanny of the story’s young protagonist Scout and Tom Robinson, the man falsely accused of raping a white woman and being defended by Atticus Finch. It’s not like there are that many Black people in To Kill a Mockingbird. ![]() Deadly Nightshade by Peter Haining5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() James – Lost Hearts: Arguably James’ most conventional supernatural horror story.
