> women and papists wrong as usual. how were they wrong tho? the economy recovered amazingly. > if any monarch was responsible for wwi it was nicholas ii not franz joseph and definitely not wilhelm ii. both austria and prussia were ruled by different branches of the habsburgs. the russian tsar may have been behind the escalation but it was the austrian habsburgs that took the bait and got millions of germans killed. wilhelm just kept his word sure but it cost german lives and germans were not happy. monarchies failed the german people and just because they didn't want a genocidal dictatorship by bolshevik jews doesn't mean they wanted their monarchy back.
