How the fuck was he so bad at diplomacy?

He didn’t have any power, so?

we didnt plan to dominate the world, no.
We were attacked by a serb murderer, same as you had 9/11. Imagine someone assasinating your vice president or whatever

he did have power
Austria annexed Bosnia and made unacceptable demands to Serbia that had the purpose to start a war (which Germany encouraged, but Austria still did it)

>Wilhelm often made his courtiers dance before him and the rest of the court dressed as ballerinas or poodles while blowing kisses to him.[58] Perhaps the most infamous case of "Byzantinism" occurred in 1908 when General Dietrich von Hülsen-Haeseler danced before the Kaiser and the court dressed while wearing a pink ballerina dress, and then felt so humiliated by what he had been forced to do that he promptly died of a heart attack. T he Kaiser very much enjoyed seeing Count Görtz dance before him wearing the poodle's costume with the "marked rectal opening": You must be paraded by me as a circus poodle!-that will be a 'hit' like nothing else. Just think: behind shaved (tights), in front long bangs out of black or white wool, at the back a genuine poodle tail a marked rectal opening and, when you 'beg', in front a fig-leaf. Just think how wonderful when you bark, howl to music, shoot off a pistol or do other tricks. It is simply splendid!...In my mind's eye I can already see H.M [His Majesty] laughing with us...

one thing he did right was not make the existence of Germany as a prime evil of humanity.

the annexation of bosnia wasnt to serbias liking yes, however the royal house of serbia were members of the black hand and military officers that couped the previous royal house, which wished to cooperate with austria

Also, when we took bosnia it looked worse than afghanistan, and we modernized it they even became some of the most loyal subjects of the Emperor

I can't believe this freak destroyed the world

>Maybe the English sources about his era are biased
If only. Look into the Daily Telegraph interview. This man fucked up a single interview so fucking bad that debatably it alone changed the web of alliances in Europe.
>Intended to dismiss the idea of an Anglo-German naval race by saying the English are "as mad as may hares"
>Implied that the French and the Russians were supplying Boers with weapons to use against the English
>Somehow managed to insult fucking Japan
>All in a single interview
This man is a walking, talking argument against monarchism. No matter how bad elected officials are, they need to at least appear not retarded. Unless it's America, then you can literally suffer from dementia and shit yourself in front of the pope as a self-proclaimed "Catholic" who's also pro-life, and the people will cheer for you because Orange Man Bad. America may be the only country that would benefit from having a monarch, but that's more an argument against the two party system than an argument for monarchism.

>We were attacked by a serb murderer, same as you had 9/11
No, it's more like
>JFK was assasinated by an Algerian with French citizenship
>The US government demanded that the American police and military lead and conduct the investigation within France
>De Gaulle's response was "Eh... let's negotiate about it a bit more"
>The US uses this as an excuse to launch an ICBM at Paris

the serbian government had always been antagonistic towards austria after a black hand backed coup, see

Which justifies sending them demands that were so outrageous that they were intended to be rejected... how?

Nah he didn’t. He often wanted to veto some Reichstag shit but it never happened.

because everything in serbia was likely already controlled by the black hand, how do you think their "investigation" will go?
Back then there was no UN or something tot ake over for such matters

Brits were anti-German from the beginning. The moment Germany united they spammed their book markets with works about how Germany will invade and kill all Britons.
