Germany (Wilhelm II)

Germany led by Wilhelm II is a custom civilization created by TarcisioCM, with contributions from Viregel, Janboruta, COF, bernie14 and danrell.

This mod requires Brave New World. It does not replace Bismarck's Germany.

## Overview

### Germany

While various "Germanic" peoples have occupied northern-central Europe for thousands of years, the modern political entity known as "Germany" is extremely young, created almost singlehandedly by the brilliant Prussian politician Otto von Bismarck some 140 years ago. During its brief existence Germany has had a profound effect - for good and for bad - on human history.

### Wilhelm II

Wilhelm II or William II was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruling the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November 1918. He was the eldest grandson of the British Queen Victoria and related to many monarchs and princes of Europe. Crowned in 1888, he dismissed the Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in 1890 and launched Germany on a bellicose "New Course" in foreign affairs that culminated in his support for Austria-Hungary in the crisis of July 1914 that led to the First World War. Bombastic and impetuous, he sometimes made tactless pronouncements on sensitive topics without consulting his ministers, culminating in a disastrous Daily Telegraph interview that cost him most of his power in 1908.

#### Dawn of Man

Emperor Wilhelm II, you are in control of the glorious German Empire. Forged on the ruins of the Holy Roman Empire through blood and iron, the Germans stand strong and fiercely before the other european nations, with your armies unmatched and a land of industrious and brilliant people, Germany has produced many of the world's finest minds. However, the foolish alliances made all over Europe led the world into war, and your mighty empire was no more - Soon after its fall, the monstruosity of the Nazi Germany launched the world into a even bigger and bloodier war.

Bold Kaiser, Germany is broken and ravaged by the Great War, and they are in need of a strong leader for the bloody storm that is coming. Will you stand up for your people, and leave the shadows to become a true Emperor for Germany in these troubled times? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
