Project Gutenberg 2017-06-26 Public domain in the USA. 341 Frederic, Harold 1856 1898 05024016 The Young Emperor, William II of Germany A Study in Character Development on a Throne Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "The Young Emperor, William II of Germany" by Harold Frederic is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the character development of William II, the young Kaiser of Germany, as he ascends the throne amid significant political changes in Europe. The narrative provides insight into William's upbringing, the influence of his predecessors, and the legacy of the Hohenzollern dynasty. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage for a pivotal moment in history: the proclamation of William II as Emperor during a time marked by upheaval and shifting power dynamics in Europe. The opening chapters detail the contrasting contexts of an international exhibition in Paris and the political gatherings in Chicago, juxtaposed against the strong assertion of monarchical power in Germany, led by the young William. Through an exploration of his childhood and education, particularly the innovative decision to send him to public school, the text hints at the complexities of his character and the impending challenges he would face in governance and leadership as he inherits the legacy of his predecessors.
