(John Otway Percy) 1863 1945 Bland, John Otway Percy The Schemes of the Kaiser E-text prepared by Al Haines "The Schemes of the Kaiser" by Juliette Adam is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This work presents a critical examination of German Emperor William II's political maneuvers and ambitions, particularly in the context of Franco-German relations leading up to World War I. The author, a fervent French nationalist, describes the ongoing tension between France and Germany, emphasizing the desire for Alsace-Lorraine's restoration and the broader geopolitical implications of German militarism. The opening of the book provides an insightful view into the complex character of William II, portraying him as a Machiavellian figure whose actions are driven by personal ambition and a quest for supremacy. Adam reflects on his public persona of peace while arguing that his policies are fundamentally aggressive, revealing a strategic agenda that threatens European stability. Through sharp commentary and political analysis, the opening establishes the foundation for a critique of both William II's governance and the broader implications for France and its allies, setting an urgent tone that resonates with the historical anxieties of the time.
