Important Figure #2

My second important figure is
Kaiser Wilhelm II
I chose Kaiser Wilhelm because of the fact that he was the leader of Germany, the biggest threat during WWI. His role as
emperor landed him on my list. His country was the one that was the biggest "instigator" in the war, and they were the ones who lost the most through the Treaty of Versailles. He led his country to fight the biggest war in history, and they ended up losing (although not technically, because the end of the war came through an Armistice, not a real "defeat"). The most important role he played in the war was his "blank check" to Austria that made the war start to spread all over Europe, and not just stay between Austria and Bosnia.
