(The most active advocate of the "Yellow Peril", Kaiser Wilhelm II)

William II, full name Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern (January 27, 1859-June 4, 1941), was the eldest son of Frederick III and Queen Victoria. The last Emperor of the Second German Empire and King of Prussia, reigned from 1888 to 1918. After William I died on March 9, 1888, his father was crowned Emperor Frederick III but soon died of throat cancer. In June of the same year, William II succeeded to become emperor. On November 9, 1918, Prime Minister Maximilian of Baden suddenly announced the abolition of the two titles William and had to abdicate. On June 5, 1941, William died of illness in Doorn, the Netherlands, and was buried in Huis Doorn, where Hitler held a small military funeral for him. He hoped that the Nazi Party logo would not be displayed at the funeral, but the Nazi Party ignored it.
