Kaiser Wilhelm II was the emperor of Germany during WWI. He is responsible for Germany's entrance in the war. Wilhelm II was very interested in expanding Germany and increasing its power, so he saw this war as a way to do just that. Wilhelm II however was not very effective in ruling Germany during this war and so Germany subsequently lost. Also Wilhelm's ineffectiveness in managing the German economy drove many Germans to rise up and call for Wilhelm II to leave.Therefore Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated his throne in Germany and went to live in the Netherlands.
