When someone is that exceedingly stupid, can you really pin the blame on them? It is like blaming a child for spilling milk. He should have never been burdened with that position to begin with.

He meant well.

Germany had no chance against France

never forget the great French victory of 1871

Bismarck should have killed him

>George was awkward as hell, couldn't speak very well, didn't save his cousin when he was about to die
>Wilhelm was a colossal fuckup who managed to piss off literally everybody
>Nicholas thought he was a general, killed thousands of his own men and got keked before ultimately dying the most ignominious death of the three
What a fucking family.

>Germany had no chance against a less industrialized nation with a smaller population that it had previously soundly beaten in the last war and whose military nearly collapsed near the end of the war

Well, he didn't help but let's face it:
Bismark wasn't gonna live forever, and he sure as fuck wasn't keen on teaching anyone about his crazy ass web of diplomacy. The moment Bismark left office, regardless of how, was the moment Germany was in for some trouble.

Wilhelm II destroyed everything. Nobody could continue Bismarck's dimplomacy, but almost everyone was skilled enough to maintain alliance with Russia and keep out of colonization
>>419579
>he sure as fuck wasn't keen on teaching anyone about his crazy ass web of diplomacy
He wrote fucking books about it.
When you study imperial Germany it's like Bismarck was the only German who wasn't a colossal retard.

How about von Moltke?

>rulers of germany, russia and england
>they are all austrian
Why did this come to be?
Yeah, but without him Germany wouldn't won the naval race with UK. Oh, wait.

Indirectly, maybe. The reason Germany "isnt great" (can be argued that they still are the leader of Europe and to some extent influence world politics) is that German politicians allowed for the Russia-France alliance to happen, without Germany being part of it.
There is this one fat balding kraut, the one with the bags under his eyes and a horny helmet, that ugly faggot said that the one thing, the one single thing, the one only thing in the history of all things that can ruin Germany, its allowing a Russia-France alliance.
And as soon as he went home to play solitaire and grow cabbage, thats what happens. I bet he let off the biggest and most depressing *sigh* when he read the paper.

Literally was offering courses to the king, who refused them.
>the moment Bismark left office
Was thrown out of office, by the king.
>>419654
I don't see anybody calling Louis Philippe an idiot.
>>419649
France at that time would never have allied with Germany, Alsace Lorraine you know.
>>419680
So keep Russia allied with Germany, and keep them away from France. Shouldnt be too hard, help the Russians industrialize, send them generals and engineers, build relationships, marry a few royal folk. You know, what Germany decided to do with the Ottomans instead.
>>419668
The idiocy of Napoleon III has and will continue to eclipse the stupidity of any french ruler

What should i do there /his/?

What could possible go wrong?

>Help your big ALLY AGAINST FRANCE with infinite manpower and world power ambitions to industrialize and modernize their army so they can help you KILL FRANCE and keep them off your back as they realize their ambitions in Asia, fighting Japan, China and Turkey.
What could possibly go wrong, though? I dont see it. I do however see what could go wrong if you let Russia stick her big frosty cock up your ass while you are trying to jerk off France.
>>419706
Is this meant to be funny
